What Superlist does

Superlist Software GmbH is a Berlin-headquartered, privately held SaaS company founded in 2020 by Christian Reber and Niklas Jansen that builds a cross-platform task management and to-do application for individuals and remote teams. The product combines tasks, rich-text notes, and planning in a single workspace, and is delivered as native clients for macOS, iOS, Android, and a web app. Core technology is built on Flutter, with three open-source supporting libraries — SuperEditor, SuperExtensions, and SuperSliverList — published on GitHub under the superlistapp organization. Backend infrastructure spans Google Cloud, Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, and Hetzner.

The company has progressively layered AI capabilities onto the product. The "Make" AI assistant generates task titles, project briefs, and full plans; the Voice Assistant ("Talk") and AI Meeting Notes use Deepgram for speech-to-text and large language models to convert voice and meeting audio into structured tasks, notes, and action items without requiring a meeting bot; a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposes Superlist as a task layer for external AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. AI is delivered via third-party foundation models (Google Gemini and OpenAI's GPT API) rather than in-house trained models.

The business model is a freemium-to-paid SaaS subscription with a free tier, a $5/month Basic plan, and a $21/month Super plan aimed at consumers, plus a separate per-Seat B2B contract for teams. Mobile subscriptions are processed via Apple App Store and Google Play and managed through RevenueCat, while web payments run on Stripe. Distribution is product-led: self-serve sign-up via superlist.com, native app-store presence, an affiliate program hosted by Dub.co, and earned-media coverage (The Verge, Product Hunt). Superlist is venture-backed, with a $10.9M seed round led by EQT Ventures in April 2022 and subsequent funding from Apeiron Ventures (€500,000 in November 2025) to support the Superlist 2.0 launch and a planned expansion into Greece.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Subscription: Software-as-a-Service offering under per-account, pre-paid monthly or annual subscriptions. The Customer pays an agreed monthly or annual fee depending on the number of Seats. Paid plans auto-renew at the end of each Initial Term unless terminated.
2. Freemium tier (free): Free tier with limited lists and storage available alongside paid Basic ($5/month) and Super ($21/month) plans, intended to drive self-serve conversion.
3. Per-seat add-ons: Customers can upgrade by adding Seats at any time without further notice; the higher fee is billed pro-rata for the remaining Agreement term, with the lower fee applying from the next billing cycle on downgrade.
4. In-app purchases via app stores (managed through RevenueCat): Mobile subscription purchases processed through Apple App Store and Google Play, with RevenueCat used for management and analysis of in-app purchases.

Core offering

Superlist is a cross-platform task management and to-do list application that combines tasks, rich-text notes, and plans in a single workspace. The product is delivered as native apps for macOS, iOS, Android, and web, and bundles AI capabilities (AI Meeting Notes, Voice Assistant, an MCP Server for AI agents) with real-time team collaboration. It sells to both individual consumers (freemium and Basic/Super paid plans) and business teams (per-seat subscriptions) for personal productivity, project management, and remote-team coordination.

Product overview

Superlist is offered as a single unified product — the Superlist task management and to-do list application for work and life — rather than a separate suite of disconnected products. Within that single product, the company exposes several distinct capabilities and modules: AI Meeting Notes (auto-recording and meeting-summarization), the Voice Assistant / Talk feature (speech-to-task), the Superlist MCP Server (which turns Superlist into a programmable task layer for external AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor), Project Management for Teams and Remote Teams (use-case modules that apply the same AI engine to team workflows), and Mobile Widgets for iOS/Android. The cross-platform native clients (macOS, Web, iOS, Android) share one workspace of tasks, lists, notes, and plans. Superlist also maintains three open-source Flutter libraries — SuperEditor, SuperExtensions (super_native_extensions), and SuperSliverList — that underpin the app's editing and platform-integration capabilities.

Direct peers

• Todoist: Direct competitor in cross-platform task management with freemium + paid tiers ($4-$6/mo). Targets the same individual/team productivity use cases as Superlist with natural-language date parsing and integrations.
• TickTick: Direct competitor offering tasks, notes, calendars, and habits across iOS, Android, macOS and web with a similar freemium subscription model. Overlaps directly with Superlist's combined tasks + notes positioning.
• Things 3: Premium to-do app for Apple platforms (macOS, iOS, iPadOS) emphasizing design polish and GTD-style workflows. Shares Superlist's cross-platform-native, design-led consumer productivity focus.
• Any.do: Cross-platform task and calendar app with freemium model and AI features. Directly comparable to Superlist on consumer productivity, voice capture, and team/shared-list use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Notion: Broader productivity platform that includes tasks, notes, docs and databases, with native AI. User reviews on Superlist's site explicitly position Superlist as 'the best of Notion in a simpler UI', making it a key adjacent incumbent.
• Microsoft To Do: Microsoft's free cross-platform to-do app and the de-facto spiritual successor to Wunderlist. Bundled with Windows and Microsoft 365, it is the most strategically threatening incumbent to Superlist's core consumer wedge.
• Asana: Team-focused work management platform with tasks, projects and AI Studio features. Competes with Superlist's 'Project Management for Teams' module at a much larger scale and enterprise reach.
• ClickUp: All-in-one productivity platform bundling tasks, docs, whiteboards and AI. Overlaps with Superlist's broader team/project ambitions and competes on per-seat pricing.
• Google Tasks: Free, default to-do list tightly integrated with Gmail and Google Calendar. Sets a free-anchored pricing floor that compresses Superlist's freemium-to-paid conversion.
• Trello: Atlassian's kanban-style task and project management tool used by teams and individuals. Overlaps with Superlist's project-management and shared-list use cases at SMB price points.
