What is Sunsama?
Sunsama is a task management app that combines a daily planner, calendar, and to-do list in one place. It pulls tasks from your existing work tools into a single focused view each day. It addresses the problem of scattered work across too many platforms. You can plan your day, timebox tasks directly on your calendar, and track what you actually got done.
