What it is
Super Productivity is an open-source task manager written in TypeScript and released under the MIT license. It lives in the productivity and utilities ecosystem, specifically within time and task management. The project provides an advanced todo list with timeboxing, time tracking, habit tracking, and integrations with issue trackers and calendars.
The concrete problem it solves is the separation between planning, tracking, and communicating work. A user can import tasks from services such as Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Trello, Linear, ClickUp, Azure DevOps, OpenProject, Gitea, and calendar sources, then organize them locally with sub-tasks, projects, tags, notes, files, and bookmarks. The app also supports local-first storage, no required account, and synchronization across devices.
Key capabilities
- It supports timeboxing and time tracking, and it can create time sheets and work summaries for export to a company time tracking system.
- It includes a Pomodoro timer, break reminders, an anti-procrastination feature, and personal metrics collection for adjusting work routines.
- It integrates with Jira, Trello, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, OpenProject, Linear, ClickUp, Azure DevOps, and basic CalDAV.
- It organizes work using sub-tasks, projects, tags, color coding, notes, attachments, and project-level bookmarks for links, files, and commands.
- It backs up and synchronizes data with SuperSync, Dropbox, and WebDAV, and SuperSync can be self-hosted.
- It is available as an open web app and as downloadable desktop software, with platform topics for Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS.
Who uses it and how
- Individuals use it as a local-first todo list for planning, habit tracking, focus sessions, and personal time tracking.
- Developers and teams import assigned tasks from GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, ClickUp, Azure DevOps, OpenProject, Gitea, and Trello, then plan task details locally.
- Users who need cross-device access synchronize data through SuperSync, Dropbox, or WebDAV, and they can host the SuperSync server themselves.
- Users who report work hours create time sheets and work summaries, then export them to an existing company time tracking system.
- Contributors and advanced users can run the development server, package the app, build for Android, and run the application with Docker.
Getting started
Install the app through the downloads and package links documented in the project wiki, or use the open web app. Advanced users can run the development server, package the app, build for Android, or run it with Docker.
When to use it — and when not to
Use Super Productivity when a free, open-source, local-first task manager with issue-tracker integration and time tracking fits the workflow. It is less suitable when a user wants a fully documented installation path without consulting the wiki, or when the web version's limitations are a problem. Self-hosting SuperSync adds server operation, and the repository's 1,480 open issues indicate a large backlog.
