Sunsama is less a to-do list than a daily planning ritual. Each morning it walks you through choosing today's work, pulls in tasks from email, Slack or Teams messages and project tools such as Asana, Trello and Jira, and asks you to timebox them on a calendar that syncs both ways with Google, Outlook and Apple calendars. During the day you can mute distracting apps and get break reminders, and at the end of the day it records what you finished. Weekly objectives, a Pomodoro timer and analytics round it out, and the company says it is SOC2 compliant. There is one Pro plan at $17 per month billed annually, or $22 monthly, and a 14-day trial that needs no credit card. Sunsama states openly that it will not offer a free forever plan. The price is the issue for most individuals: it costs several times more than Todoist Pro or TickTick Premium, and its design favors workdays over household lists.
