SuperTasks — Today view with task detail panel open
22+

Keyboard shortcuts built in. Every action, every view, every task. Not one reason to touch your mouse.

The problem

Every other app is fighting you.

You open a task manager to work. Instead you get subscriptions, accounts, sync errors, and a UI that buries the task list three menus deep. SuperTasks just gets out of your way.

Command palette

Everything, one keystroke away.

One shortcut. Everything unlocked.

Press ⌘K and every action is one selection away. Navigate to any view, find any task, run any command — hands never leaving the keyboard.

Used commands surface automatically. Shortcut hints show inline. It gets faster the more you use it.

Task detail

Full context. Never leaving the list.

Side panel. No navigation.

Hit Enter and a detail panel slides in — priority, due date, project, notes. Everything in reach without losing your place in the list.

Four priority levels. Hold a task until a future date and it vanishes until you need it. Notes save as you type. No modals, no separate pages.

Inbox zero

Empty never felt this good.

A daily reward for finishing

Clear your list and SuperTasks doesn’t show you a blank page. It shows you a full-screen landscape photo — a new one every day, with a greeting that knows the time of day.

It turns inbox zero from a fleeting moment into something you actually look forward to. A quiet signal: you’re done. Go live your life.

Built for

People who think faster than they click.

The keyboard native

You live in your terminal, editor, and browser. Every tool you trust is keyboard-first. Your task manager should be no different.

The deep worker

Context-switching kills flow. You want to capture a task, schedule it, and get back to work in under five seconds. No modals, no friction.

The subscription refugee

You’ve paid for Todoist, tried Things 3, and still feel like you’re renting your own productivity. You want software you own. This is it.

Shortcuts

Learn a few. Forget the mouse.

From inbox to done. No mouse, no menus, no detours.

“I built SuperTasks because I was tired of paying $8 a month to be interrupted by upgrade prompts in my own task manager. Your tasks should live on your Mac, every action should be one keystroke away, and it should cost exactly nothing.”
— Ali Mirza, maker of SuperTasks

Frequently asked.

Is it really free? What’s the catch?+
No catch. SuperTasks is free software. No Pro tier, no trial, no feature gating. Your data lives on your Mac — there are no servers to run, which means there’s nothing to charge you for. If it earns your support via Ko-fi, great. If not, that’s fine too.
Where is my data stored?+
In a local SQLite database on your Mac — typically at ~/Library/Application Support/SuperTasks/tasks.db. Open it with TablePlus, DB Browser for SQLite, or script against it however you like. It’s your data.
Does it sync with iPhone?+
Not yet. iOS sync is on the roadmap. Sign up for the newsletter below to get notified when it ships. Your SQLite file isn’t going anywhere in the meantime — it’ll migrate cleanly when sync arrives.
What if you stop developing it?+
Your data is in a standard SQLite file. It doesn’t disappear if the app does. Open it with any SQLite browser, export it, or build a migration script. No lock-in by design — that’s a feature, not a footnote.
Does it work offline?+
100%, always. There’s no network dependency at all. The core app works in airplane mode, on a flight, in a basement. Everywhere.
Do I need to be a developer to use it?+
Not at all. The J/K shortcuts for moving up and down take about five minutes to get used to — after that, everything clicks. If you use keyboard shortcuts in any app, you can use SuperTasks. The only requirement is a Mac.
How is it different from Things 3?+
Things 3 is a genuinely polished app — it’s beautiful. The difference is philosophy. Things 3 is designed around visual hierarchy and mouse navigation. SuperTasks is built around the keyboard: Vim-style movement, G-chord view switching, a command palette for every action. If you type faster than you click, you’ll feel the difference within minutes. Also: SuperTasks is free and Things 3 costs $49.99.

iOS sync is coming.
