Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 6 of the 123 other to-do list apps we grade
Lunatask combines a to-do list with a habit tracker, mood tracking, a journal, notes and a personal relationship tracker in one app. Its task lists prioritize themselves using workflows such as a work-in-progress limit, and the text you enter is end-to-end encrypted. Apps are available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, with a free plan and a Premium subscription or one-time lifetime purchase.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Lunatask, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for tasks, habits and a journal in one private app
Lunatask puts a to-do list, habit tracker, mood tracker, journal and notes in one app for desktop and phones, and encrypts what you write before it syncs.
- 2
Paid plans start at $6 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $6 per month, paid annually; $8 paid monthly.
- 3
There is a free plan
Free forever: 2 areas of life, 7 daily habits and 30 relationships, with automatic prioritization, time blocking, task timers, notes, mood tracker and journaling.
- 4
It runs on 5 platforms
macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.
- 5
Task lists that prioritize themselves
Tasks are prioritized automatically, with a work-in-progress limit, timers and time estimates. The Eisenhower Matrix and Must/Should/Want workflows need Premium.
- 6
Daily calendar and time blocking
Planned tasks and habits can be dragged onto a daily calendar to block time. Connecting Google, Outlook or iCloud calendars to see events alongside is a Premium feature.
- 7
Habit tracker
Habits have customizable recurrence, current and record streaks and reminder notifications. Free covers 7 daily habits; weekly habits need Premium.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 6 of 123
That is against the other to-do list apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
The plain part of Lunatask you could make: tasks, habit tracking, time blocking, mood tracking, daily notes and notes. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

The report card
Best for tasks, habits and a journal in one private app
Lunatask puts a to-do list, habit tracker, mood tracker, journal and notes in one app for desktop and phones, and encrypts what you write before it syncs. The free plan stops at 2 areas of life and 7 daily habits. Premium is $6 a month paid annually or $8 monthly, with no trial and no refunds, and there's no web app or official browser extension.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $6 a month paid annually, $8 if you pay monthly, against a $3.99 middle and a $5.00 dearer quarter in this category. The parts you'd actually want, calendar integrations, the Eisenhower Matrix and weekly habits, all sit up there. No trial, no refunds, and Lifetime is $300. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free forever and no card needed, with time blocking, timers, notes, the mood tracker and journaling in it. But 2 areas of life is the cap, and 7 daily habits. Work and home, and you're full on day one. |
| Features | B | It covers the category's job: tasks that prioritise themselves with a work-in-progress limit, time blocking on a daily calendar, habits with streaks, a mood tracker, a journal, Markdown notes and a tracker for keeping up with friends, all with encryption on by default. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and there's a lot under one roof: tasks, habits, mood, journal, notes and a personal CRM, with workflows like work-in-progress limits to understand before the lists sort themselves out. Expect a settling-in week. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, plus Zapier, a public API and Google, Outlook and iCloud calendars on Premium. The missing piece is the browser: no web app and no official extension, so there's no tasks-at-a-strange-computer option. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Lunatask is for
- Fits if you want tasks, habits, mood and a journal in one app
- Works for people who want notes and journal entries encrypted before they sync
Who it is not for
- Tight if you're staying free, with 2 areas of life, 7 daily habits and 30 relationships
- Skip it if you want your tasks in a browser, as there's no web app or official extension
- Pricey if you're comparing on price, at $6 a month annually, $8 monthly or $300 for lifetime
- Watch out: Premium has no free trial and no refunds, and the lifetime deal isn't sold in the mobile or Mac App Store apps
- Watch out: task status, priority and dates are stored unencrypted, and calendar integrations and weekly habits need Premium
Good to know
Good for
- Keeping tasks, habits, mood and a journal in one private app
- People with ADHD, whom the vendor says the app was designed for
- Students and teachers, who can request a 50% discount
Worth knowing
- The Free plan stops at 2 areas of life, 7 daily habits and 30 relationships, and calendar integrations and weekly habits need Premium.
- There is no web app and no official browser extension; saving web pages relies on a bookmarklet or community-built extensions.
- Task metadata such as status, priority and dates is stored unencrypted, and the API cannot read end-to-end encrypted content.
- Premium has no free trial and a no-refund policy. The lifetime purchase is not sold in the mobile apps, and discount coupons do not work in the Mac App Store version.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Lunatask you could make: tasks, habit tracking, time blocking, mood tracking, daily notes and notes. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 97 of the 123 other to-do list apps grade higher. It costs $72 a year.
What you could make
- Tasks, habit tracking, time blocking, mood tracking, daily notes and notes: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar and iCloud Calendar among them.
- End-to-end encryption done properly.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Lunatask’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
