Sunsama

Daily planner that pulls tasks from your tools.

What it is

Sunsama walks you through planning each day, pulling tasks from your other tools and forcing a realistic time estimate. The daily planning ritual is the product: it forces an estimate and a realistic list before the day starts. That deliberate friction is exactly why some people stay and others leave within a week.
