Who each one suits
Super Productivity
- Developers who plan their day from Jira, GitHub or GitLab issues
- Freelancers who need time sheets from the tasks they tracked
- People who want a free app that keeps data on their own device
Will Be Done
- People who plan a week at a time instead of working from a daily list
- Self-hosters who want their task data on a server they control
- Keyboard users who like Vim-style navigation
- Working offline and syncing when a connection returns
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.
Will Be Done
- The cloud is free only during the alpha. The site says it will then cost $3 per month, with 3 free months for people who registered during the alpha.
- Tasks are scheduled to days, not times of day, and the FAQ says time-of-day scheduling is not planned for now.
- It is a single-user planner: the FAQ says shared projects and multi-user spaces are not planned for now.
- Phones use an installable web app (PWA) because there are no app store builds yet, and end-to-end encryption is not implemented.
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.
Will Be Done
- Weekly timeline
- Each day of the week is a column holding an ordered list of tasks. Tasks are dragged between days, and unfinished ones keep their day with a yellow marker instead of rolling into today.
- Local-first sync
- Every device holds a complete local database, so reading, creating and moving tasks works with no network. Changes sync through the cloud or a self-hosted server once a connection returns.
- Vim-style keyboard control
- Vim keybindings cover navigation, task creation, completion and moving work to another day. The desktop apps add a global shortcut that opens a quick-add window from any app.
- Project kanban boards
- Each project has a kanban board with columns you define, and separate spaces keep work and personal projects apart. A stash holds tasks that have no day yet.
- Self-hosting with Docker
- The server runs as one Docker container with SQLite storage and no external services. The web app, desktop app, sync server and API are licensed under AGPL-3.0.
- HTTP API and importers
- A documented HTTP API with bearer tokens reaches spaces, projects, tasks, checklists and schedules. Tasks can be imported from Todoist with an API token or from a TickTick CSV export.
