Superlist

Superlist is the task manager built by the team that previously made Wunderlist — sold to Microsoft, killed in favour of Microsoft To Do, then mourned by millions. Christian Reber (the original Wunderlist founder) came back to build the spiritual successor. For solo founders and small teams who want a beautiful, fast, multi-platform task manager without Notion's complexity or Todoist's age, Superlist is one of the best tools shipping in 2026. The pitch is 'tasks + notes in one tool, with delightful UX.' Each task can have rich content underneath — notes, subtasks, attachments, links, deadlines. Tasks live in lists; lists can be shared with collaborators. The free tier is genuinely generous: unlimited tasks, unlimited lists, 3 collaborators per workspace. For solo founders running their personal task system, the free tier is enough forever. What makes Superlist special is the UX polish. Animations feel responsive. Keyboard shortcuts work the way you want. The mobile apps are first-class (not afterthoughts). Cross-device sync is fast. AI features handle voice-to-task, smart task parsing ('lunch with Sarah next Tuesday' becomes a task with date), and suggested daily plans. The whole experience feels like the team learned every lesson from Wunderlist's killers and built the answer. For founders running their personal productivity system the value is concrete: a beautiful tool that gets out of your way. No 'configure your second brain' overhead like Notion. No 'manage your project graph' complexity like Linear. Just tasks that you can attach context to, organised in lists, available everywhere. The kind of tool you set up in 10 minutes and use for years. The pricing model is light. Free covers individual use (3 collaborators included for tiny shared projects). Pro at $7/month adds unlimited collaborators, custom themes, file attachments without limits, and premium support. That's it. No tiered features designed to upsell — pay for Pro when you actually need team collaboration features. The trade-offs: Superlist is single-player-leaning. For real team project management (sprints, Kanban, dependencies), use Linear or Asana. For wikis and knowledge management, use Notion or Obsidian. Superlist's sweet spot is personal task management + lightweight small-team task sharing. Within that scope, it's excellent. My take: if you've bounced off Todoist (feels old), Things 3 (Mac-only), or Microsoft To Do (joyless) and you want a modern task manager that's both beautiful and powerful, install Superlist. The free tier is enough to commit. Pay for Pro at $7/month if you need team features. It's one of the few productivity tools in 2026 that I'd recommend without any reservation.
