Sunsama

What is Sunsama?

Sunsama is a daily planning app that sits between your calendar and your task tools. Instead of storing to-dos, it pulls tasks and commitments from the apps you already use — Todoist, Asana, Jira, Trello, ClickUp, Linear, GitHub, Notion, Gmail, Outlook, and Slack — and walks you through a guided morning ritual where you choose what to work on today, order it, and timebox it directly onto your calendar. As you plan, Sunsama sums your estimated times against a workload threshold and warns you when you have committed to more than a realistic day. An end-of-day shutdown ritual then closes the loop, letting you review what you finished and roll over what you did not.

The AI layer is deliberately light. Sunsama assigns predicted time estimates to new tasks and automatically tags them into the right channels based on your past work in the tool, and those suggestions sharpen the more you use it. Pro-tier accounts also expose MCP and Zapier connections so AI assistants and 9,000-plus other apps can plug in. But Sunsama does not auto-schedule or reshuffle your day the way an autopilot scheduler would — the planning decisions stay with you. There is no free-forever plan; after a 14-day trial the single Pro plan costs $17 per person per month billed yearly or $22 billed monthly, with custom Enterprise pricing for teams needing SSO and security controls.

Who is it for?

Sunsama fits people who feel scattered across multiple task apps and want a calm, repeatable way to decide what actually gets done each day, rather than software that plans for them. Its value comes from the discipline of the ritual, so it rewards users who will genuinely sit down to plan and shut down every workday; if you want hands-off automation or a free tool, the fit is weaker.

• Knowledge workers and managers juggling tasks across Jira, Asana, Slack, and email who need one place to plan and timebox the day.
• Freelancers and consultants who want to protect against overcommitment by seeing planned hours against a realistic daily capacity.
• Productivity-ritual enthusiasts who value a structured morning-planning and end-of-day shutdown practice over raw feature count.
• Anti-burnout professionals willing to pay $17–$22/month for work-life boundaries and are comfortable that AI here assists rather than automates.
