My Month with Superlist - The Good, The Bad, and The Wishlist

The notion todoist hybrid


I like it a lot but it needs a ton of stuff to be my day-to-day app.

I got access to Superlist about a month ago. I generally don't write about apps unless I've spent some quality time with them. The core concept of Superlist is like if Notion or Apple Notes had calendar views, scheduling, and checkbox assignments. It reminds me a lot of ColumnsApp.

What I appreciate about it is the focus on collaboration; I can't really work with a personal to-do app. Plus, it's multi-platform, which is a must for me. On the integrations side, it's decent; my go-to app, Todoist, doesn't offer much beyond Google Calendar integration.Tasks, Notes (including files and attachments), and Comments are all centralized, which is honestly fantastic. This is the core reason I wanted to check out Superlist, and it delivers.

The UI for managing tasks, comments, scheduling, tags, and lists is really well done. Everything shows up in an Inbox that can be filtered, scheduled, and tagged, making task management a breeze.

So why am I not committed yet? The app lacks export options, activity logs, watch apps, task statuses beyond a basic checkbox, quick capture options (Todoist really spoiled me there), limited keyboard shortcuts, and doesn't display subtask progress. It also has some syncing issues similar to Todoist.

Despite these drawbacks, I think it's a pretty solid app. It treats tasks as first-class citizens, unlike many note-taking apps, while still maintaining a lot of to-do app features.

Once it's out of beta, I think it's going to attract a lot of attention. I'm eager to see how it evolves.
