About Super Productivity
Most to-do apps want two things from you: an account and eventually a subscription. Super Productivity wants neither. It is an open-source task manager built around a simple loop: plan your day, timebox the tasks, track where the time actually went. No sign-up, no server of its own holding your data, and no premium tier hiding the good features.
Under the hood it is more serious than the price tag suggests. Tasks can come in automatically from Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, and OpenProject, so your assigned issues become today's list. There is a pomodoro timer, break reminders, time tracking with timesheet exports, tags, projects, and a daily planning view that nudges you to decide what today is actually for. Sync is optional and runs through your own Dropbox or WebDAV, and the data stays a readable local file. The current release is 19.3.1 (late October 2026); the Windows installer is about 249 MB (it is an Electron app, and it shows).
The honest downsides: the interface is dense and utilitarian rather than beautiful, the iOS situation is weaker than Android, and two people cannot share a list the way they would in Todoist. Verdict: if you are a developer or freelancer who wants time tracking welded to a task list without a subscription or an account, this is the strongest free option on any desktop.
