Dream Features for Super Productivity App

[Victor-Alk]

Dear Johannesjo,
Thank you so much for making the Super Productivity App.
Please find below the list of features I think would be really amazing to see in a Productivity App, especially for ADHD.
A lot of it is already present in your app, but as I just discovered it today and made that list earlier, I thought this might be helpful still :)
Best,
Victor

Prioritized To-Do Lists : Tasks organized by priority, estimated time to complete, and due dates.
User or AI-Generated “Task-to-Step” Plans : Step-by-step actionable plans (that can be edited, with checkbox, subtasks etc) and estimated time for each step (subtask) and task in the to-do list. Basically https://goblin.tools/

Progress bar and visual charts for each project.
Dependency Mapping: Allow tasks to depend on the completion of others, automatically updating schedules when a dependency is delayed.

In-Task Sidebar : During task completion, a side-bar which includes timer, step to complete (with checkbox) and motivational quotes
Window Task-Stopper : Window pop-up when pomodoro timer is over, including : task name + step-by-step plan + ticking/ticked steps + motivational quote + timer until next step
Post-Task Reflections Window : Window pop-up when the time-allocated for the task is over including : checkbox for completed steps, mood tracking after completing tasks, adding/removing tasks, optional X words task journaling.

Advanced Progress Reports
Daily/Weekly/Monthly Progress report : Progress bar and visual summary of completed steps for each project, animation with items neatly struck through for a sense of accomplishment (similar to Slash) ; productivity & mood tracking ; correlation between productivity mood and time of the day ; summary of daily journal entries.
Detailed Mood Analysis: Provide insights into how productivity correlates with mood over time.
AI Progress Insights: Highlight trends, like peak productivity times or types of tasks you excel at.
Custom Reports: Let users tailor reports to specific metrics they care about (e.g., word count progress for writers).

Integrated Note-Taking
Notes Within Tasks: Each task can have a dedicated note section where users can jot down details, links, or relevant information.
Step-by-Step Notes: Attach specific notes to individual steps in a task, ensuring clarity and focus during execution.

Luna Task might be the closest ideally but still doesn't have all the features and is not affordable to me https://lunatask.app/

Edit After using "Super Productivity" for a while :
Your app is absolutely gorgeous, thank you so much for all the work you've put into this. Please find below some additional comments that I've been thinking about while using the app.

• Below "Task Description" ; it would be nice to add a "Task Notes" which allows for task journaling/reporting when the task is completed. It would be nice to also have a tab for each project "Project Notes" where I can quickly go through all the descriptions and notes I took during the project instead of singular task.
• The "Calendar" in the "Schedule" tab only allows to see the current week, which is counter-intuitive when scheduling tasks.
• How do I add my "Super Productivity" calendar to my Google Calendar so that I can see my tasks in my GCal ?
• The Planner design is strange, and timing across days are inconsistent. Despite not starting at the same time, tasks between days are visually at the same horizontal line.
• Projects are great, but it would be great to have "Sub-Projects" or "Sub-folders" into a single Project folder.
• Easy Marking of Task Priority with stars (1 to 5, low to high priority).
• Easy Marking of Task Timing in terms of Pomodoro Timer (1 to 5, 25 min each timer) like in "Focus To-Do".

• Instead of having only the tab "Today", why not adding "This Week" "This Month" "Someday" - or at least the possibility to customise that ?
• Subtask are too difficult to add (right-click + add subtask), even to add new subtasks. Can new lines be simply added directly ? Or a simple icon to click to add a subtask ?
• Would it be somehow possible to integrate https://goblin.tools/ into Super Productivity ? It seems to be open source !
• Task "colour gradient" customisation for task group to differentiate them (task/subtask).
• Task repeat once/multiple times at specific time/date instead of every day/week/month/year
• Easier scheduling of "Time Estimate". The "Duration" window is confusing. Adding "Time Estimate" and "Time Spent" directly in the task description bar would be better ("Add Time Spent on another day" is a fantastic option!!)
• Add a "tag" option in task description bar. It seems like I can't easily remove a tag from a task ?
• It would be nice if I could save my App Data in Google Drive instead of DropBox (which I never use)
• When starting a task, why not a full window pop-up side-bar with Timer + Task/Sub-Task Name + Task Description ? A bit like what Focus To-Do has ?

Personally I like the idea of gamification a lot, like Habitica has implemented it for example. Sadly their privacy policy was not that great.
