Frequently asked questions about Super Productivity
Is Super Productivity really fully offline?
Yes — Super Productivity stores all data in IndexedDB (browser) or local files (Electron desktop) and never requires a central server. Cross-device sync is optional and routes through your own cloud (Dropbox, Google Drive, WebDAV, Nextcloud) using the app's own sync logic — no central Super Productivity backend. This makes it one of the few task managers with no vendor server at all.
Is Super Productivity free?
Yes — Super Productivity is fully free and open-source (MIT license, johannesjo/super-productivity on GitHub). There are no paid tiers, no telemetry, no premium features. The maintainer accepts donations via GitHub Sponsors but the project is sustainable without commercial revenue, which is unusual for a productivity tool of this scope.
How does Super Productivity compare to Todoist?
Super Productivity has deeper time-tracking, native Jira/GitHub/GitLab integration, full offline support, no vendor server, and is free with no premium tier. Todoist has better mobile apps, smarter natural-language input, collaborative shared projects, and more polish. For developer workflows with issue-tracker integration and per-task time logging, Super Productivity wins. For shared family/team task lists, Todoist is friendlier.
Can I use Super Productivity offline?
Yes — Super Productivity is offline-first by design. All editing, task creation, time tracking, and project management work without network. Sync via your own Dropbox/Google Drive/WebDAV runs in the background when network returns. The Electron desktop app and the PWA share the same offline-first behavior and can run on a fully air-gapped machine.
Who uses Super Productivity in production?
Super Productivity is used by freelance developers tracking time for client invoices, by consultants needing rigorous time logs without sending data to Harvest or Toggl, by Jira-using teams who want per-issue local time tracking, and by privacy-conscious power users replacing Todoist + Toggl + RescueTime with a single self-controlled app. Adoption skews heavily toward European developers.
Where Super Productivity is heading (12-24 months)
- →Native mobile apps (iOS/Android) would close the largest UX gap — the current PWA experience on iOS is constrained.
- →Built-in invoicing or PDF time-report generation would turn it into a true freelancer all-in-one.
- →AI-assisted task triage or daily-planning suggestions are a natural extension.
- →Deeper Linear and Height integration would broaden coverage beyond Jira/GitHub.
