And much more!
If you need some help, this article on dev.to is the best place to start.
If you prefer, there is also a (long) youtube video available.
There is another older – the app looks and feels much better now ;) – article on how I personally might use the app - and still another one on how I implement the 'eat the frog' prioritizing scheme in the app.
If you have further questions, please refer to the discussions page.

If you want the Jira integration and idle time tracking to work, you also have to download and install the Super Productivity Chrome Extension.
Install from the releases page.
Due to certification issues it's recommended to download the app from the Microsoft Store:
You can also install the app using Chocolatey:
choco install super-productivity
Install via command-line:
# stable
sudo snap install superproductivity
# edge channel releases
sudo snap install --channel=edge superproductivity
# it is also recommended to disable updates to the app while it is running:
sudo snap set core experimental.refresh-app-awareness=true
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/superproductivity-bin.git
cd superproductivity-bin
makepkg -si
Install via homebrew cask:
brew install --cask superproductivity
There is a very early(!) Android version available. The sources can be found here.

Translations, Icons, etc.: You don't have to be programmer to help. Some of the icons really need improvement and many of the translations could use some love.
You can use the Fink Localization Editor to edit, lint, and add translations for different languages. Contribute via fink Guide.
To run the development server you need to have node installed at least in the version 14. Go to https://nodejs.org for installation instructions.
Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/johannesjo/super-productivity.git
Install dependencies
cd super-productivity
npm i -g @angular/cli
npm i
Run the dev server
ng serve
Afterwards you can open http://localhost:4200 in your browser. For most adjustments this should be enough and also enables you to use the redux dev tools.
If you want to run the app standalone do the following:
ng serve
# in a new console tab
npm start
Packaging the app is done via electron-builder. To start packaging run npm run dist
. If you want to add new platforms and experiment with the build options the easiest way to do so is manipulating the build
property in the package.json, but you can also use the command line interface of electron builder.
docker run -d -p 80:80 johannesjo/super-productivity:latest
In addition to color coding your projects and tags and to the dark and light theme you can also load completely custom css to restyle everything. To load a custom theme you simply need put them into a new file named styles.css
directly in the user data folder.
There is a great set of themes available for download in this repository as well as some info on how to role out your own custom themes.
If using the integrated WebDAV Syncing is not working out for you, you can also try to sync all app files, which are located in the user data folder.
For the desktop version automatic backups are stored per default in the backup
sub folder of the user data folder. Once you located a backup you can restore it on the settings page under Sync & Export/Import/Export/Import from file
.
Where user data is stored differs from OS to OS. The most common locations are:
OS | Location |
---|---|
Mac OS | ~/Library/Application Support/superProductivity/ |
Windows | C:\Users\<YOUR_USER_NAME>\AppData\Roaming\superProductivity/ or %APPDATA%\superProductivity |
Linux | ~/.config/superProductivity/ |
The path should be shown when you go to the "Automatic Backups` section on the configuration page (minus the "backup" sub folder). You can also see it printed out when you start the app from the command line.
For web browsers, data is simply stored for the current user inside the browser storage.
You can specify a custom folder for saving your data by starting the application with the --user-data-dir
parameter like so:
superproductivity --user-data-dir=/path/to/my/data
