r/superProductivity

Hey y'all!

Right now, I have a basic priority levels based on time - #asap, #this-week, #this-month, #this-season, etc.

It's time consuming and annoying to update those as dates approach. I'd love to hear if y'all have found any ways to automate this kind of tagging, or if anyone has other ways they like to flag upcoming tasks?

Cheers!

For example if I want to filter out the tasks by their location or where i will have to complete them - how would I do that? I don't like the idea of adding it to the title or the contents since I wouldn't be able to easily see the location nor filter them about, but I'm entirely new to this program so far. So far it's really good, but just curious about this

Due to my workflow, every day I have a ludicrous number of recurring tasks that I have best managed with Super Productivity, and this little feature is a godsend for not having to manage overdue tasks that weren't completed yet.

• I spoke too soon, it still slaps the unfinished task in overdue, if we can have a feature to keep (rollover) the recurring task in the today section that would be amazing.

Is there any plans in the future to improve the reliability of notifications on Android? For scheduled tasks I found that notifications work as long as the app is running, but don't work if the app is stopped. I've been playing around with the idea of using a separate reminder app for scheduled tasks instead.

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to start using this tool and I'd love some input from people who've been running it for a while. I can self-host the server side, so I'm trying to figure out which storage backend is the better long-term bet, assuming I'm starting today from scratch.

From what I can see, there are basically two options: WebDAV and SuperSync.

A few things I'm trying to weigh:

- Is SuperSync stable enough to be treated as a no-brainer choice today (i.e., reliable in day-to-day use and unlikely to break)?

- How well does each option handle future version migrations and schema changes?

- Any gotchas with conflict resolution?

- If you're self-hosting, which one would you pick if you were starting over today, and why?

Thanks in advance and big thanks to the maintainers for the work on this project!

The only thing I don't like about Super Productivity is the name, Super Productivity.

• It makes it very difficult to introduce the app to others. It does not make sense when used within a sentence ("I'm a fan of super productivity"), so it is uncomfortable and awkward to explain that it is actually the name of the software.
• The name is not that searchable (OK, current search engines will not have problems here, but for example searching for Productivity on Google Play will not show apps whose title contains the word productivity).
• It is a slogan, not a name. As a slogan, fine, sure, I'll take Super Productivity. As a name? I have nothing against using full English words in a name, but this just lacks any distinction.
• But it's just a descriptive name? Not really. Super Productivity implies some sort of cruel self-exploitation technology, not an accessible tool for people to have better control over their time.
• It might be more awkward for non-english speakers.

But it isn't nearly worth it to change it now? You're right. The only name change I can think of that wouldn't require a full rebranding would be something like Super Prod. (or SuperProd, etc).

But that's not a great name either? It is at least a distinct, identifiable name, I don't think it's too bad, and it is already how the Android app is listed in the home screen.

But isn't this just a minor change then? Yes, that's sort of the idea.

Still, maybe this whole thing is just something that I must get over and there's nothing wrong with Super Productivity at all.

I have been using TickTick for at least 10 years, both for work-related as well as personal tasks. For me it feels like 95% what I need. One of the things that I miss in TickTick is a separation between planned and due date. A few days ago I discovered Super Productivity which seems like a very cool application.

I am however struggling a bit on a good approach to separate work and personal tasks.

In TickTick I have several lists for work projects and a few lists for personal 'projects'. All my work lists are grouped in a Work-folder, all other in a Personal-folder. I use the folder-filter in TickTick to create a view for all work related task. Similarly I have a few filters that filter on tasks in the Personal-folder. This gives me a clean separation of work/non-work context, while still also allowing to get a view of everything that needs to be done that day.

I'm struggling a bit on how I should/could organise this separation in SP. I had hoped that the boards would be able to filter on a project folder. But that's not possible it seems. Filtering on multiple projects would be another solution, although I would have to manually add a new project to the board, but that also seems not possible. I could tag all work related tasks with the tag 'work' and filter on tag work (and not work), but that seems error prone and a step back from what I have in TickTick. I could create a 'work' project and use a tag per project, but again that feels not quite right. I guess I could try the User profile feature and create completely separate databases, but I like being able to have a global overview. Suggestions are welcome and much appreciated.

Hi there, simple question - I used superProductivity quite a while ago and just installed it again today. Now I can't find the Jira plugin anymore. I used it a lot in the past. Is it gone?

Trying to understand what people actually need daily vs what just creates more noise and distractions.

Especially curious about:

• task management
• docs/notes
• communication
• workflows

Feels like many teams are overloaded with tools lately.

Hello,
I'm just starting out with Super Productivity and have seen enough that I want to go all in and try making the switch from Todoist.

From what I've seen, the only mechanism that allows for importing of data expects it as JSON, and expects that its a 'complete version of everything'. (IE: It overwrites/replaces everything with what you import).

I'm certain there are others that have attacked a similar quandary. "Do I manually recreate everything or find a way to reformat the data and mass import? Will the former really save me that much time/effort?"

Does anyone have any guidance or recommendations?

Whether I manually recreate or attempt format the data in the JSON, both situations will be an opportunity for some experiential learning of how the app functions. Manual recreation would arguably be more practical, since this is how I would be primarily interacting with the app moving forward. But the thought of doing this is also kind of painful 🥲

The software is great. But, what if it could track how much time we spent on which platform during the working hour. I mean it will help us in time management.

I frequently use the "Search" function. It may be configurable and I might not have found the way to change it; however, in my setup, the search button is only available at the very bottom on the left, below "Projects" and "Tags" and not far from "Settings". Since I have many projects and tags, I always have to scroll down the list to reach the "Search" function.

Coming from Microsoft To Do, I really appreciated having the search function in plain sight, just a click away. Would others also find it useful to have it at the top, together with the other tools?

I love this app but am having a hard time with sync. I use my iPhone and two Macs and have tried SuperSync Beta and Dropbox. In both cases the sync messed up my current state and reverted back to a prior version that was several days old.
How is everyone syncing and what are you finding that works best?
