--- title: Super Productivity canonical: https://saasranked.com/software/super-productivity/ category: To-Do List Apps points: 79 rank: 4 of 12 facts_checked: 2026-10-08 --- # Super Productivity Free, open-source task manager with time tracking and apps on every system. 79 points out of 100. #4 of 12 to-do list apps. Vendor: Johannes Millan. Website: https://super-productivity.com/ - The whole app is free, with no premium tiers [3], and no account is needed to use it [1]. - Source code is public under the MIT licence [4]. - Apps cover Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and a web app [2]. - Sync is optional, through Super Sync, WebDAV or Dropbox [1]. - Calendar feeds are imported only; tasks are not written to an outside calendar [13]. Verdict: Super Productivity suits people who want a free planner on every system, with local data, repeats, subtasks, boards and open-source code [1][7][10][11][4]. It costs nothing [3]. The catch: the vendor's home and pricing pages do not describe shared lists or assignment, no two-factor sign-in is published, and calendar links bring items in without sending new tasks out [13]. Best for: People who want a free, local-first planner with open-source code. ## Points | Criterion | Line | Value | Points | Note | |---|---|---|---|---| | Systems | Apps | Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Web | 18/18 | Download page lists a Windows installer, macOS DMG, Linux packages, iOS App Store, Google Play and a web app [2]. | | Systems | Works offline | Yes | 6/6 | Download page says the web app works offline and calls the iOS app fully offline; data stays on the device by default [2][1]. | | Planning | Recurring tasks | Yes | 7/7 | Repeating tasks run daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, with custom intervals [7]. | | Planning | Time reminders | Yes | 4/4 | Reminders are set per task and notify at a chosen time [12]. | | Planning | Location reminders | Not published | 0/3 | Not published on the vendor's scheduled tasks page, which covers time reminders only [12]. | | Planning | Subtasks | Yes | 4/4 | Right-click a task and choose Add subtask; subtasks sit under their parent [11]. | | Planning | Labels or tags | Yes | 3/3 | Home page lists tags among its features [1]. | | Planning | Dates typed in plain words | Yes | 3/3 | Typing "Water plants @every friday 3pm" in the Add Task bar sets repeat and time.
