For May 2026, this Personal Productivity list reflects tools that cover todo tracking, notes, calendars, forms, journaling, availability sharing, and related workflow work. The data below comes from ToolVitals and uses each product’s health score, shipping score, GitHub stars, and status to show where the category is strongest right now.

The ranking puts ToolVitals score first, then uses GitHub stars as a secondary popularity signal when scores are tied. That means a tool can rank highly because it is both strong on the ToolVitals measure and broadly adopted, but stars only break ties after the ToolVitals score decides the order.

Top 3 Highlights

Super Productivity ranks first with a ToolVitals score of 94, a health score of 95, and 19,020 GitHub stars. It stands out because it combines todo lists, timeboxing, time tracking, and integrations with Jira, GitLab, GitHub, and Open Project.

Vest is tied on ToolVitals score at 94 and has a perfect shipping score of 100. It is a narrower tool than the top entry, but its high health score of 90 and 2,662 GitHub stars make it a strong, well-supported project in the category.

SurveyJS Creator also lands at a ToolVitals score of 94 with a shipping score of 100. It is built as open source survey software and a form builder for JavaScript apps, which makes it more specialized than a general productivity suite but still clearly relevant to personal workflows.
