Lunatask vs Pomodoist

Lunatask is an encrypted, cloud-based personal organization app for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, with API and browser-extension support. It combines to-do lists, habit tracking, journaling, life tracking, notes, and relationship reminders. Task workflows include a Kanban-like approach, Must/Should/Want, the Eisenhower Matrix, timers, and work-in-progress limits. It also tracks moods, emotions, energy, and stress. Notes and notebooks can be PIN-protected, and calendar connections include Google, Outlook, iCloud, Proton, Fastmail, Hey, Facebook Events, iCal/ics, and CalDAV; these currently sync one way into Lunatask. Free includes 2 Areas of Life, 7 Daily Habits, and 30 Relationships. Premium costs $6 a month when billed annually or 8.00 USD monthly, adding unlimited areas, habits, and relationships plus calendar integrations and additional planning tools. Data is encrypted on the device before cloud storage, although task metadata remains unencrypted. Offline use is temporary, with later synchronization.

Pomodoist combines task planning with a Pomodoro focus timer and is an open-source alternative to Todoist. Planning features include an inbox, upcoming tasks, projects, timeline and kanban views, a priority matrix, filters, search, quick-add parsing, task decomposition, and CSV import. Focus sessions offer configurable breaks, focus tracking, and local sounds. Voice input can create tasks and recognize dates, projects, and tags from speech, while teams can share projects, assign work, and review activity history. Optional integrations include Google Calendar, Telegram Mini-App, Apple Watch and widgets, account sync, and voice input. The free plan includes tasks, projects, labels, a timer, and productivity reports, but keeps completed and deleted task history for only 90 days. Pro costs $29.99 per year and includes task history forever; Lifetime costs $99.99 per once. Listed platforms include macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, Windows, Linux, web, Telegram, and a Chrome extension in beta. Android is planned for October 2026. Self-hosting is available, with listed practical minimums including Docker Compose v2 and 4 GB RAM.
