What Is Lunatask and What Can You Do With It?

Updated

Lunatask is an all-in-one, encrypted productivity app that combines a to-do list, habit tracker, journaling, life-tracking, and notes in one place. It suits people who want task management and mental well-being tools together rather than spread across several apps, and you can get started for free. The site also notes that a major "Lunatask 3.0" evolution is in the works, with details to be announced.

Core things you can do with Lunatask

Manage tasks without constant rescheduling

Lunatask's task lists are designed to manage themselves, so you don't have to keep reshuffling them. The site describes a "forgiving" Kanban-like philosophy and a Must/Should/Want method, plus an Eisenhower Matrix, timers, and a work-in-progress limit. The stated aim is to reduce overwhelm and the sense of failure that comes from an ever-growing backlog.

Plan your day with calendar and time blocking

You can connect calendars (the site lists Google, Outlook, and iCloud among supported services) to see meetings and calls next to your tasks. From there, you drag planned tasks and habits onto the calendar to fill the gaps between events. It also supports joining Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams calls, creating notes for events from templates, and seeing Facebook events on the calendar.

Build and track habits

A visual habit tracker shows your progress and holds you accountable. You can set daily and weekly habits with customizable recurrence, view current and record streaks, and turn on reminder notifications. The emphasis is on both dropping bad habits and building healthy ones.

Track how you feel

Mood and emotion tracking, energy-level tracking, and stress tracking give you visibility into how you're doing over time and how new habits affect you. The site frames this as useful whether you struggle with mood swings, stress, anxiety, or depression.

Keep secure notes and journal

Encrypted notes and notebooks support Markdown, note sharing with deep linking, note templates, and PIN-protected notebooks. Journaling offers a customizable template for entries, PIN protection for extra privacy, and integrated mood and emotion tracking.

Keep up with relationships

Lunatask also includes a lightweight relationship-tracking feature (described as "CRM but for friends") so you can keep track of friends and family and avoid missed anniversaries.

How to get started

  1. Go to lunatask.app and choose "Get Started for Free."
  2. Create your account and set up your first task list.
  3. Connect a calendar if you want time blocking alongside meetings.
  4. Add a habit or two and enable reminders.
  5. Start a journal entry or a PIN-protected notebook for private notes.

Expected result: a single workspace where tasks, calendar, habits, mood tracking, and notes live together.

Common sticking points: calendar sync depends on your provider being supported; PIN-protected notebooks and journaling require you to set and remember a PIN; and if you're evaluating it for a team, note that the site's framing is personal productivity and well-being rather than team collaboration.

For current plan details and any limits on the free option, check the Pricing page rather than assuming what's included.
