Resource Description

(Copied from super-productivity's own README.md)

• Keep organized and focused! Plan and categorize your tasks using sub-tasks, projects and tags and color code them as needed.
• Use timeboxing and track your time. Create time sheets and work summaries in a breeze to easily export them to your company's time tracking system.
• Helps you to establish healthy & productive habits:
  • A break reminder reminds you when it's time to step away.
  • The anti-procrastination feature helps you gain perspective when you really need to.
  • Need some extra focus? A Pomodoro timer is also always at hand.
  • Collect personal metrics to see, which of your work routines need adjustments.
• Integrate with Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and OpenProject. Auto import tasks assigned to you, plan the details locally, automatically create work logs, and get notified immediately, when something changes.
• Attach context information to tasks and projects. Create notes, attach files or create project-level bookmarks for links, files, and even commands.
• Super Productivity respects your privacy and does NOT collect any data and there are no user accounts or registration. You decide where you store your data!
• It's free and open source and always will be.

Additional Information

Being 100% FOSS, development and bug fixes tend to be slower than can be expected when compared to commercial/freemium solutions.

Why do you recommend it?

I've been using it for almost 2 years now and it has helped me achieve my 3 best semesters in Uni. First, by virtue of being a to-do list. Secondly, by allowing me to have an actual idea of how much time I spent distracted when I was trying to study (by comparing the time spent in each task with what was tracked by ActivityWatch, I could estimate much more accurately how much time I was actually studying compared to how long I thought I was studying. It was not pretty). Moreover, as someone who cares about online privacy, owning my data and being able to sync across my devices with Syncthing or my self-hosted WebDAV server, instead of being dependant on proprietary cloud storage solutions, was extremely important to me.

Is there a cost associated with this resource?

Nope! The app is completely free on desktop and mobile. The synchronisation can be done via Syncthing, self-hosted servers (even something as simple as Nextcloud on a Synology NAS), or some proprietary cloud storage solutions, such as Dropbox, if that's your preference.

Genuinely a really good recommendation, and it's actually one I've been trialling myself!

Fully agree with the recommendations, it's the same reason I personally use ActivityWatch. I'll get this added soon!
