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.

Check out the web version even though it is a bit limited: Time tracking only works if the app is open and for idle time tracking to work, the chrome extension must be installed.
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
A new version of the Android app is now available with Connectivity-Free Mode, allowing you to use the app without an internet connection.
This update offers more flexibility, supporting both fully offline usage and integration with services like WebDAV and Dropbox for syncing. Enjoy a smoother, more reliable experience whether you're online or offline.
Stay tuned for even more exciting updates!
You can find the Android app here:

Please make sure that you're following the angular commit guidelines and to also include the issue number in your commit message, if you're fixing a particular issue (e.g.:
feat: add nice feature with the number #31). -
Answer questions: You know the answer to another user's problem? Share your knowledge!

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.
This feature was added on October 7, 2024. See Pull Request #57.
To build the Android version of Super Productivity, please refer to the Android Build Documentation, which includes instructions on configuring Connectivity-Free Mode and Online-Only Mode (Compatibility Mode).
Ensure you follow the setup steps properly to configure the environment for building the app.
docker run -d -p 80:80 johannesjo/super-productivity:latest
Note
The command will automatically pull the container that matches the host's platform. Use --platform to specify a different one.
Currently supported architectures: linux/amd64, linux/arm64, linux/arm/v7.
Now you can access the web app from your browser at http://localhost.
This container only serves the web app, and the user data is stored in the browser. Therefore, it does not have any persistent storage.
You can integrate the container with a WebDAV server container to provides WebDAV service with base url http://localhost/webdav.
Download pre-configured files
Download the pre-configured docker-compose.yaml and webdav.yaml from this repository to a local directory, say sp/.
# Alternatively, you can get them by cloning this repository
git clone https://github.com/johannesjo/super-productivity.git
mkdir -p sp
cp super-productivity/docker-compose.yaml sp/
cp super-productivity/webdav.yaml sp/
cd sp
Setup user accounts
Edit webdav.yaml to configure username and password. Remember to create and assign different directories to different users (within /data) to avoid mixing up user data.
Start the services
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
Additionally to accessing the web app from your browser at http://localhost, you can set up WebDAV synchronization with base url http://localhost/webdav/.
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 create 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
