I am the planning guy. In the entire productivity framework — planning part and note-taking part excites me the most and my eyes are continuously searching for the tools that helps me in this framework.
- Been using Routine as my go to planner and enjoying it thoroughly and exploring the other key players in this space, Here I am with my first impressions of Sunsama.
The Idea
- Loved the app and every interaction with it.
- The core idea of Sunsama is to bring all the elements of your tasks and events and give you a space to design your day and week, your priorities and objectives are always in front of you.
- And this is too without being pushy, a well-thoughtful design, very intuitive UI/UX.

Final thoughts:
Sunsama is the best planner, it allow user to plan priorities and stay focused throughout the day and week. For me, the integration with Todoist & Notion with ability to sync email and work on it inside Sunsama is something special and I am looking forward to make best use of the 2 weeks trial period.
The pricing is on the higher side and I want to make sure that it is worth the experience and usability before committing for long-term.
