Company profile
researched Aug 2026Superlist is a productivity application that merges to-do lists, notes and project plans into a single workspace for both individuals and teams. Lists can hold rich text, images and attachments, and support infinitely nested lists and subtasks, so notes taken inside a task can later be converted into further tasks without switching tools. Other core capabilities include recurring tasks, reminders, real-time collaboration with task assignment and progress tracking, public or team sharing, sublists for project documentation and wikis, offline support, home- and lock-screen widgets, integrations and multiplatform clients (web, macOS desktop, iOS and Android).
AI features are central to the current positioning: an assistant called Make can generate lists from scratch, produce project briefs, run on-the-fly research and expand project plans; a voice feature called Talk turns spoken input and voice recordings into action items with automatic language detection; and Meeting Notes records and summarizes meetings, including on mobile. In 2026 the company shipped a Superlist MCP connector that exposes tasks and lists to AI assistants supporting the Model Context Protocol, such as Claude.
The company presents itself as building "the productivity tool of the future" for teams and individuals, with stated design principles of being private by design, flexible to individual organizational styles, highly collaborative (chat, voice, video and data, synchronous or asynchronous) and integrated with users' existing tools.
Founding story
Superlist was announced by Wunderlist founder Christian Reber on May 5, 2020, the day before Microsoft ended Wunderlist syncing, as a fresh take on supercharged team productivity. It was set up with a founding team drawn largely from the Wunderlist and Pitch orbit: Reber alongside Brandon Arnold (previously Design Director at Metalab), Marcel Käding (an early Wunderlist employee who joined Microsoft with the 2015 acquisition and worked as a program manager there), Steffen Kiedel (Wunderlist CFO from shortly after incorporation and later a managing director at Eyeo, maker of Adblock Plus), and Ben Kubota (a serial entrepreneur behind themoviedb.org and Moviepilot who has worked in CTO/CPO roles).

Market position
Superlist competes in the productivity and to-do app market, positioning itself between lightweight to-do lists and heavier project management software; user reviews cited by the company compare it with Todoist, Notion and Google Tasks. A Berlin startup ecosystem profile lists no known external funding for the company.
Technology
The app runs across web, macOS desktop, iOS and Android with real-time collaboration, offline support and local data handling, and integrations with other tools. AI components include the Make assistant for generating and expanding lists and briefs, the Talk voice feature that converts speech and recordings into tasks with automatic language detection, AI-generated meeting notes and summaries, and a Model Context Protocol server (Superlist MCP) that lets external AI assistants create, update and manage tasks and lists.
Go-to-market
Superlist is marketed directly to consumers and professionals through its website, blog content on productivity and goal-setting, and app store distribution on iOS and Android alongside web and macOS clients; it leans on the founding team's Wunderlist heritage and on user reviews from the iOS App Store and Google Play in its positioning.
Individuals managing personal and household routines (daily plans, habits, grocery lists, chores, family reminders) as well as professionals and teams tracking projects, deadlines and meeting preparation; the company describes building for teams of any size.
Geography
Headquartered in Berlin, Germany, and organized as a remote-first company with a distributed team.
History
Christian Reber founded Wunderlist in 2010 with a group of friends and led it as CEO until Microsoft acquired the company in 2015; Microsoft later shut Wunderlist down, with to-dos no longer syncing after May 6, 2020. On May 5, 2020, as Wunderlist wound down, Reber announced Superlist as a new company and productivity app, describing it as more than a to-do app but less bloated than project management software, and said he would continue focusing on Pitch while supporting the then-hiring Superlist team. The product has since shipped publicly and ships regular releases, with versions 1.54 through 1.57 released between May 2026 and August 2026.
