SuperProductivity
Version: 7.11.5 Web: https://super-productivity.com
Working as a freelancer, keeping track of the time spent on a task or project is especially essential, though it can be of use to everyone. superProductivity is a to-do utility that includes the ability to track and manage time spent on each task or project. While freelancers can use this for billing (now steady on there–Ed) purposes, others can use it for efficiency purposes.
The program is available as pre-compiled RPM and DEB binaries, as well as AppImages and Snaps for added convenience. There’s also a web version of superProductivity, although it has to remain open for time tracking to work properly in the web version. Furthermore, you must also install its Chrome browser extension, which helps track idle time accurately.
The application has an intuitive interface for anyone used to the ways of time-tracking programs. However, if you’ve only dealt with simple to-do task managers then you could save yourself some time by going through some of the articles and videos the developer points to (https://github.com/ johannesjo/superproductivity). You can create timesheets and work summaries to better track and document your work. These can be nested to accurately break down and provide detailed tracking details about complex projects, made up of several smaller tasks. The program has time-boxing abilities that you can use to assign time estimates to tasks, which isn’t required, but can help increase focus and avoid procrastination. Besides its impressive time tracking abilities, superProductivity has all the usual features you’d expect from a to-do task management tool. It can also directly import tasks from Jira, GitHub, GitLab and Open Project. The Jira integration will also keep you abreast of any ticket changes, without having to check with the project management tool.
