What is Sunsama?

Sunsama helps you build a daily planning ritual through guided time-blocking. It centers on a mandatory morning planning or evening shutdown: pull tasks from connected tools, estimate durations, and place work into calendar blocks so your day matches realistic capacity.

Sunsama emphasizes sustained focus with Pomodoro-style timers, a dedicated focus mode, weekly objectives and reviews, and analytics that compare planned vs. actual time. It integrates with calendars, email, and many project tools (Google Calendar, Outlook, Todoist, Asana, Trello, Notion, GitHub, Jira, Linear) so you can plan from one workspace and run focused sessions on desktop and mobile.

How Sunsama works in Shift

Add Sunsama to Shift to turn your ritual into a workflow that’s ready to kick off each morning. Place Sunsama in a dedicated Space with your calendar, inbox, Asana, Trello, or Gmail to access everything you need without flipping through multiple windows.

Drag a Sunsama task into a calendar timeslot to time-block work, or use the auto-schedule helper to drop tasks into the nearest free blocks. Keep multiple accounts signed in with Shift’s multi-account feature, run Pomodoro timers or Focus mode inside the same window, and pair them with Shift DND or status updates for Teams.
