We're constantly looking for something that will make us more productive. That's why I was excited to see a new list-making-plus-task-management app launch yesterday. It goes beyond tasks — it's also a great way to organize notes and do more than just scratch down your to-do list. Better yet, it's from the creators of Wunderlist, a once-popular list-making app many people loved. Wunderlist sold to Microsoft years ago. In a way, Wunderlist lives on as [Microsoft To Do](=) today. But, in another way, many people miss Wunderlist. Now, the creators of Wunderlist are back with a new list-making app: Superlist. This just might be the tool you've been looking for! [Chris Hoffman, Author of Windows Intelligence] Chris Hoffman​ Author of Windows Intelligence --------------------------------------------------------------- A list-making app that goes beyond simple tasks I've said before that Microsoft To Do is the modern successor to Wunderlist. That's true, and I still use it — but Microsoft To Do is very much a to do app focused on task lists. ➜ [Superlist]() goes beyond simple lists of tasks and subtasks. In Superlist, your lists can have sections, paragraphs, images, and more. Each task item can have a detailed sub-list associated with it. As Superlist puts it: "It gives you the flexibility to organize tasks, notes, images, and attachments however you want. It’s not just a list. It’s a Superlist. " ⌚ It'll take you a minute or so to start using this app. Superlist is free for individuals, and you can quickly sign up and use the app on Android, iPhone, Mac, or the web. (I would like to see a Windows PC app, too, but it works nicely in a browser on PCs for now.) Once you sign in, you'll see a variety of pre-created example lists that give you an idea of what you can do with Superlist. There's [a welcome video](=), too. [The Superlist app on the web.] There's a lot you can do with Superlist, but everything is fairly simple once you launch the app and start using it. It's a very intuitive interface, and everything is pretty easy to access. This tool is clearly built for collaboration, too: Either personal collaboration with your family or as a business tool. The free plan seems reasonably generous, letting you share up to 5 lists with up to 5 people — and you can have unlimited private lists for free, too. Ultimately, Superlist feels like sort of a hybrid between a to-do app like Microsoft To Do or Google Tasks and a more involved collaborative note-management app like Notion or Microsoft Loop. That might be just the sweet spot a lot of people are looking for. Superlist may be your new favorite tasks-and-notes app. 📌You can sign up and use the web app on [Superlist's website](), get the Android app from [Google Play](, or download the iPhone app from [Apple's App Store](=). 💰 Superlist is free for personal use, with [paid subscriptions]( aimed at businesses that unlock features like unlimited shared lists, Slack integration, and AI list creation. 🕶 The service's [privacy policy](=) doesn't appear to include anything shady, and the details disclosed on Google Play and Apple's App Store don't look particularly unusual.
