What it is
Super Productivity is a to-do list, time tracker and daily planner for personal work. It lets you organize tasks into projects and tags, plan your day on a schedule next to calendar events, and track time with Pomodoro-style focus sessions. The README says it is private, offline-first and does not collect data, and it can sync across devices through SuperSync, Dropbox or WebDAV.
- Capture tasks, plan them on a day schedule, and focus on them with a timer
- Organize work on Kanban or Eisenhower Matrix boards
- Track time and export time sheets or work summaries to a company time tracking system
- Pull tasks assigned to you from Jira, GitHub or GitLab and log work against them
Great for
- People who want a personal task list with built-in time tracking
- Users who prefer Pomodoro or timeboxed focus sessions
- Developers who track work against Jira, GitHub, GitLab or OpenProject issues
- People who want local data control and no account requirement
Not ideal for
- Teams that need shared, multi-user project management, since the README describes a personal productivity tool
- Users who need the full feature set on the web version, which the README says has limitations compared with desktop
- People looking for a mobile-first experience only, since desktop is the main focus described

Downloads
Strengths
- Free and open source under the MIT license, with no account required according to the README
- Runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, iOS and in the browser
- Offers several focus methods (Pomodoro, Flowtime, countdown) plus integrations with many task trackers
Trade-offs
- The README notes the web version has limitations compared with the desktop app
- Integration and sync features are broad, so setup may take time to configure for each service
- The README is truncated here, so some details of setup and self-hosting were not verified
