Super Productivity
Free, open-source to-do app with time tracking and a Pomodoro timer
Which one is for you
Pick Super Productivity if
- Fits if you're a developer and your day starts from Jira, GitHub or GitLab issues
- Works for people who bill by the hour and want time sheets from tracked tasks, with no account
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want sync that needs no setting up, because you connect Dropbox or WebDAV yourself
- Watch out: its own SuperSync is labeled beta, and the wiki says to use Nextcloud, WebDAV or Dropbox instead
- Not for you if you'd work mostly in a browser, as calendar and WebDAV sync are likely to fail there
- Watch out: fetching issues needs a connection, and a failed issue update isn't retried automatically
- Not for you if you expect a support desk, since it's run by volunteers and help comes from the community
Pick Taskwise if
- Fits if you want a free kanban board with a calendar and a timer, and one browser tab is enough
- Works for solo people who want to time tasks against an estimate
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need a phone or desktop app, since only the browser version is listed
- Not for you if tasks are shared with others, as the listing shows no sharing or team features
- Watch out: the site doesn't say which AI model runs the assistant or where your task data is kept
- Watch out: there is no pricing, about or terms page, so what 'free' covers over time isn't written down
How we grade them
| 3.4GPASuper ProductivityVery good | 2.8GPATaskwiseGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AFree on every platform under the MIT license, with no premium tier and no trial. You download it and run it, and there is simply nothing to buy. Development runs on optional donations through GitHub Sponsors. | AThe site describes it as free and lists no paid plan, so nothing is charged on record. The catch is that the claim rests on the home page alone. |
| Free plan and trial | AEvery feature on every platform is free, with no account needed. There's no paid plan, so there are no limits to bump into. Download it and you have the lot. | ANo plan, trial or card is mentioned anywhere, and the whole app is described as free. |
| Features | CTasks, projects and boards, time tracking that turns into time sheets, a day planner and issue imports from Jira and GitHub. But the listing names a gap in the basics: SuperSync is beta, the wiki says use Dropbox or WebDAV instead, and in a browser calendar and WebDAV sync are likely to fail. | CBoard, calendar, checklists, tags, priorities and time tracking against an estimate. The listing shows no sharing, recurring tasks or integrations, so the basics have gaps. |
| Ease of use | BNo account and no setup: install it and your data sits on your device from the first minute. There's no rating on record to go by, so a B rather than higher, and arranging sync later is its own job. | CA board you build yourself, column by column, with nothing on record about a tutorial or templates. No store rating exists to go on. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWindows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android and the web, with links to Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Trello, Google Calendar, CalDAV and Dropbox. That's the full set plus a real list of things to connect to. | CWeb only. No desktop or phone app is listed, and no integrations. |
| Best for | free task tracking with time sheets built in | a free kanban board in the browser |

Worth knowing
Super Productivity
- The web app is more limited than the desktop app: calendar integration and WebDAV sync are likely to fail in a browser because of CORS.
- SuperSync is labeled beta, and the project's wiki suggests Nextcloud, WebDAV or Dropbox for production use until it is stable.
- Fetching issues and sending work logs needs a network connection, and a failed issue update is not retried automatically.
- The project is maintained by volunteers and funded by donations; help comes from the community on GitHub and Reddit.
Taskwise
- The site has no pricing, about or terms page of its own, so the free claim rests on its home page description.
- It runs in the browser only; no desktop or mobile app is listed.
- The site does not say which AI model powers the assistant or where task data is stored.
Key features
Super Productivity
- Tasks, projects and boards
- Tasks take subtasks, notes, tags, projects and repeat rules, and can be viewed as lists, on a Kanban board, in an Eisenhower Matrix or on boards you build yourself.
- Time tracking and time sheets
- Starting a task tracks time against it. Tracked time can be turned into time sheets and work summaries for export to a company's time-tracking system.
- Focus mode and break reminders
- Focus mode offers Pomodoro, Flowtime and countdown sessions, and a break reminder tells you when it is time to step away.
- Planner and schedule
- The planner lays the day out on a schedule timeline next to calendar events, which come in through Google Calendar or any CalDAV calendar.
- Issue tracker imports
- Issues assigned to you can be imported from Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and other trackers, with time tracked per issue and work logs sent back.
- Local data and optional sync
- Data is stored on the device and no account is needed. Devices can sync through Dropbox, WebDAV or SuperSync, the project's end-to-end encrypted service that can be self-hosted.

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
