GitHub Integration
GitHub Issues in Your Task List
Super Productivity syncs your GitHub issues and pull requests into a focused daily task list. Track time per issue, plan your day around your backlog, and stop switching between your IDE and the GitHub web UI.
Why Use Super Productivity With GitHub?
GitHub Issues is a powerful issue tracker, but it's not a personal task manager. You can't easily plan your day around your assigned issues, you can't track time against them, and switching to the GitHub web UI is a context switch that breaks your flow -- one of the biggest hidden taxes on developer productivity.
Super Productivity closes that gap. It syncs your assigned GitHub issues into a clean task list on your desktop. You drag today's work into a "Today" view, start timers, add personal notes, and manage your backlog alongside personal tasks -- all without opening a browser tab.
The integration uses a personal access token stored locally. API calls go directly from your device to GitHub's API. No data passes through any intermediary. Works with GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise instances that expose the standard REST API.
How It Works
- Generate a GitHub personal access token -- Create a token with
reposcope in your GitHub settings. - Connect in Super Productivity -- Add the token and select which repositories to sync.
- Your issues appear -- Assigned issues and PRs show up in your task list, labeled by repository.
- Work and track time -- Start timers on issues. Time is logged against the correct issue for your records.
