A daily planning dashboard is not hard, but Sunsama's value is many integrations, careful UX, calendar sync, and habit-forming workflow.

# Sunsama indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Sunsama workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Pull tasks/calendar events, let the user drag tasks into a day plan, track estimates/completion, and run a daily shutdown prompt.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- integration breadth
- calendar two-way sync
- daily ritual design
- mobile apps
- analytics
- reliability

If those capabilities are essential, use Super Productivity instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

They pay for a planning habit that survives across tools, not a new to-do list.

questions
Vibecode Sunsama

Kinda. The core of Sunsama is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: integration breadth, calendar two-way sync. Read the honest list above before committing.

How much does Sunsama cost?

Sunsama costs about $22/month (Pro, checked 2026-08-14), which is $264 per year.

What do I lose by replacing Sunsama?

Honestly: integration breadth; calendar two-way sync; daily ritual design; mobile apps; analytics; reliability. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Sunsama?

Yes: Super Productivity (A local task planner with timeboxes, focus mode and its own stopwatch; less glossy, less interested in your wallet.) FlowSavvy Free (It auto-plans unlimited tasks for the next two weeks; priorities and dependencies are how the paid plan gets you.) Trevor AI Free (One calendar gets task-to-time-block planning and some AI suggestions; multiple calendars and deeper automation cost extra.)
