TickTick vs Super-productivity
Super Productivity is the stronger fit for local-first, open-source task management centered on timeboxing, time tracking, focus tools, and developer integrations. TickTick remains the safer choice for users who need its broader all-in-one coverage—particularly dedicated habit tracking, shared projects, timeline views, and documented task-history features—or who cannot risk rebuilding a mature task system without a B
Decision guide
The practical reasons to choose either option, based on documented capabilities.
Choose Super-productivity if
- Individuals who want tasks, timeboxing, time tracking, Pomodoro sessions, and work summaries in one open-source app
- Developers who import assigned work from Jira, GitHub, GitLab, or similar issue trackers
- Privacy-focused users who prefer local storage, no required account, and optional self-hosted synchronization
Stay with TickTick if
- You rely on dedicated habit tracking rather than repeating tasks and personal metrics
- You need shared projects, timeline views, or checklist-item reminders; equivalent coverage is not documented for Super Productivity
- You depend on a mature TickTick history or statistics archive and require a documented direct migration path
Deployment and operations
Super Productivity is MIT-licensed and available as a hosted web app or downloadable application, including packages for major desktop and mobile stores. The repository facts document Docker support and self-hostability; its SuperSync synchronization server can also be self-hosted. The README warns that the web version has limitations compared with desktop. As a community-driven open-source project, upgrades and self-hosted infrastructure require the operator to follow project releases and carry
Migration considerations
No direct TickTick importer or compatibility path is documented. Super Productivity can import tasks from calendars and supported issue trackers, while its website documents JSON and CSV export for future portability; users should validate an intermediary format or plan for manual reconstruction before moving.
