What is Superlist?

Superlist is a task manager from the team behind Wunderlist, and it leads with a plain promise on the homepage: tasks, notes, and plans, finally in one app. Instead of separating a to-do list from the document where the thinking lives, Superlist puts rich notes inside tasks and lets any list nest infinitely into sublists and subtasks. It runs on macOS, iOS, Android, and the web, with real-time collaboration and offline support.

The product covers two jobs that usually need different tools. As a personal planner it handles scheduling tasks, reminders and habits, quick add from anywhere by typing or talking, recurring tasks, and widgets on the home or lock screen. As a team workspace it handles shared lists, assignments, and progress tracking, with an AI layer running across both.

Lists that nest as deep as the work does

The list model is the part worth understanding first. A list holds tasks, images, attachments and rich text can be added to every list while notes and details attach directly to tasks, and sublists let a plan grow into project documentation or a wiki without leaving the app. Superlist frames this as the best to-do list app for work and life, and the practical payoff is that a quarterly goal, its supporting brief, and the individual checkboxes all live at a single address. You can assign items, track progress, and share a list with your team or publish it publicly.

Meeting notes that turn into assigned tasks

Superlist AI Meeting Notes product page

AI Meeting Notes is the most distinctive thing Superlist does. It captures and transcribes from any app without pushing a recorder bot into the call, notes arrive within seconds of the meeting ending, and action items are extracted with auto assignees and due dates already attached. A live chat with the transcript lets you ask follow-up questions during and after the meeting, and there is multiple language support with auto detection; a customer testimonial on the page claims 10x better recognition of meeting objectives and tasks than the AI meeting note tool that team had been using. For anyone running back-to-back calls, this closes the usual gap between talking about work and scheduling it.

Make, Voice AI, and the MCP task layer

Make is the assistant built into Superlist. It creates lists from scratch, generates project briefs, does on-the-fly research, and expands a project plan in seconds. Voice AI works the other direction, letting you talk your tasks into the app when typing is impractical. Superlist also publishes an MCP endpoint it calls the task layer for your AI agents, connecting the workspace to Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. From a chat window you can create tasks with the correct list and due date attached, convert meeting notes into assigned items, request an AI-generated daily briefing, auto-triage your Superlist inbox, or scaffold a whole project from a spec.

How the Free, Basic and Super plans differ

The Free plan is generous on volume and deliberately tight on breadth: unlimited tasks and notes, but a ceiling on how many private and shared lists you keep and how many people can join each shared list. Basic lifts those caps with unlimited lists, sublists and shared lists across team and guests, unlimited team members, access to all integrations, larger uploads and storage, and Voice AI. Super is the AI tier, bundling unlimited AI Meeting Notes, unlimited AI Chat messages, generation with Make AI, and email plus Slack task summarization. The choice between Basic and Super comes down to whether the meeting layer earns its place in your week.

Who should choose Superlist

Superlist fits individuals and small teams who want one calm surface for personal errands, household lists, and client work at the same time. Founders, consultants and lean teams with meeting-heavy calendars get the most from it, since the meeting notes and MCP features do the tedious part of converting talk into tracked work. The Free plan is billed as free forever and includes unlimited tasks and notes, so it is not a time-limited trial. Nothing on the cited pages describes reporting views, custom fields, or administrative permission tiers beyond sharing with team and guests, so organizations that need structured program management should confirm those capabilities with the vendor before switching.

Frequently asked questions

Is Superlist free?

Yes — the Free plan includes unlimited tasks and notes, up to 5 lists with 5 collaborators each, and 500MB storage. Plus ($6/mo or $59/yr) unlocks unlimited lists, integrations and AI.

What platforms does Superlist run on?

Superlist has native apps for macOS, iOS and Android plus a web app, with full offline mode.

Verdict

Superlist is a refreshing take on task management that blends notes and to-dos with "lists all the way down" nesting, and the free tier is genuinely usable. Native offline apps and solid integrations make it a real contender — the caveats are the free-tier list/storage caps and that AI and integrations sit behind Plus. Worth trying free if you want one app for notes and tasks.
