Superlist: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Superlist is a task and list app that combines to-dos, notes and projects in one workspace. It supports nested lists and subtasks, recurring tasks, reminders, offline use and real-time collaboration, and includes AI features that turn voice recordings into action items. It is available for macOS, the web, iOS and Android, and is aimed at individuals and teams.

Superlist Software GmbH, with its seat in Berlin, Germany, is named as provider in the terms of service, which are governed by German law. The company is therefore established in the EU and subject to the GDPR. The vendor's website does not state hosting locations or sub-processors, so the data location should be confirmed directly with the vendor. The product is proprietary, not open source, and the vendor describes no self-hosting option. The vendor describes the product as coming from the creators of Wunderlist, and European organisations evaluating it should check the current ownership and data processing terms.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Superlist

Superlist is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Superlist scores best on data residency.

Superlist is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Superlist together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
