Sunsama
Daily planning ritual for sustainable productivity
What is Sunsama?
Sunsama is a daily planner designed around a sustainable work philosophy. Each morning, you perform a guided planning ritual: pull in tasks from your integrations (Asana, Linear, Gmail), drag them onto your calendar, and set realistic time estimates. The interface is intentionally calm and focused on the current day. When you add more than 5-6 hours of work, Sunsama gently suggests that might be too much. At day's end, a shutdown ritual helps you close out and disconnect. For developers prone to overwork or scattered focus, Sunsama provides structure without stress. The emphasis on daily planning (not long-term project management) keeps you grounded in what's achievable today.
