Sunsama

I cannot say enough good things about this app! As someone who struggles with other planners and apps, I’ve found this one to be a perfect fit. There is so much flexibility for every type of processor. I personally prefer using my Google Calendar and tasks, but I’m sure other interfaces work well, too. The time blocking is extraordinarily helpful, as are the 'subtasks'. The different channels allow me to organize my tasks not just in my head, but in something tangible. There are very few presets, and the app is very customizable. The support team is also great. I reached out with a question, and it was answered promptly and thoroughly. For anyone who struggles with executive functioning or brain disorganization, you NEED this app. The subscription is expensive, but very much worth it. I have used dozens of planners in my academic career, and this one has been a lifesaver! I am in my 4th year of college, and I feel so regulated when I use the app. I also love the desktop-to-iPhone app interface. Having ADHD and other mental health challenges can make school planning really difficult, and this app has actually helped. Yay Sunsama!!

I love this app. It’s the ONLY digital planner I have ever used CONSISTENTLY. I always go back to paper planners because Google Calendar and Anything Microsoft are kryptonite for my ADHD. It’s WAY too easy to delete appointments, lose emails, and the task management tools are useless. I love that Sunsuma is visual and hand holds you through planning. you can move tasks around. undone tasks are bounced to the next day or a backlog so they never disappear. I also love having weekly goals, subtasks and the ability to attach weekly goals to specific tasks. There are lots of integrations including email and calendars so all your work stays synched. You can turn emails into actionable tasks. The only serious problem I’ve had so far is the fact that I still need to open up chat GPT to create a to-do list from my overwhelmed brain dump. It would be great if there was a built in AI that would build and organize your weekly work plan, complete with subtasks, for you. The thing about ADHD is that you CAN’T MAKE THE LIST IN THE FIRST PLACE without help. Sunsuma was underutilized whenever I had list-writers-block and would sit unused for a few days. Once I started using chat to make my to-do lists I really started to appreciate Sunsuma and get the most out of the features. AI task list generation and scheduling would make it the perfect digital planner for me, and I will I Use it forever. I’d also love Airtable integration if that is possible.

I am a time management coach and Sunsama one of the best digital tools out their. I have been a user for almost two years now. Some of the reviews here talk about the app not being great and please remember - their language is a “companion to the desktop” … not an app on its own! It’s important to remember that going into using this tool or considering it. That being said, the past couple of weeks the companion (app) has been funky. My calendar doesn’t sync properly or takes a while to sync. I use Sunsama as my master overview because it connects all my calendars but it hasn’t been doing that successfully lately. I hope the bugs can be fixed soon. The CEO sends weekly emails with tutorials and fun insights into time management and I love it. The access to him / to ask him questions is such a breath of fresh air compared to other apps where you don’t even know who made it. Sunsama people are GOOD people and they constantly are seeking to improve the tool (I do think they could put more emphasis on improving the app/companion though)
