Their Pitch

Start calm. Stay focused. End confident.

Our Take

A daily planner that pulls tasks from all your tools into one calendar view. Like having a personal assistant who drags your Asana tasks onto actual time slots.

Deep Dive & Reality Check

Used For

  • +**Morning app-hopping takes 30 minutes across Asana, calendar, and Slack** → One view shows everything, drag tasks to time slots, done in 5 minutes
  • +**You keep overcommitting and missing deadlines because you can't see time realistically** → Warns you when you've scheduled over 5 hours of deep work, prevents overbooking
  • +**Tasks from yesterday disappear into the void and you forget them** → Unfinished work automatically rolls over to tomorrow with notes intact
  • +Timeboxing with Pomodoro timers - assigns exact 30-minute blocks instead of vague "do this today"
  • +Daily shutdown ritual shows exactly where your time went with completed tasks and hours tracked

Best For

  • >You're bouncing between 5 different apps every morning trying to figure out what to do next
  • >Project manager drowning in Trello cards with back-to-back meetings
  • >Your to-do list is infinite but your day isn't

Not For

  • -Teams over 10 people - no shared boards, Gantt charts, or workload reporting like real project management tools
  • -Anyone wanting a free option - starts at $20/month with no permanent free tier
  • -Long-term planning - no proper backlog view, everything feels "now or never" (supposedly fixed in 2025)

Pairs With

  • *Asana (where your actual project management happens, Sunsama just pulls tasks for daily planning)
  • *Google Calendar (syncs both ways so your timeboxed tasks show up as actual calendar events)
  • *Trello (cards get pulled into Sunsama's daily view instead of living in project limbo)
  • *Slack (sends status updates about what you're working on without manual posting)
  • *Notion (pulls database tasks into daily schedule while keeping project docs separate)
  • *Zapier (connects the other 4,999 apps Sunsama doesn't natively integrate with)

The Catch

  • !You'll spend your first week adjusting because there's no backlog - long-term tasks feel homeless
  • !Teams pay full per-seat pricing even for light users, so a 10-person team costs $200-340/month
  • !Heavy Zapier users add another $20+/month for premium automation on top of Sunsama's subscription

Bottom Line

Finally, a tool that stops you from scheduling 12 hours of work into an 8-hour day.
