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.
