Sunsama
SeedPlan like a professional
Daily planner that unifies tasks from Asana, GitHub, Gmail, and more into a timeboxed, intentional workday.
About
Sunsama is a daily planning tool designed for busy professionals who want to work with intention rather than react to chaos. It pulls tasks from 15+ integrations โ including Asana, GitHub, Gmail, Jira, Slack, Notion, Todoist, and Trello โ into a single, elegant daily view where users timebox their work, set realistic goals, and end each day with a guided reflection. Founded in 2013 by Ashutosh Priyadarshy and Travis Meyer, the company went through Y Combinator (W19) and raised a $2.4M seed round before reaching profitability in 2022. Now operating independently of VC pressure, Sunsama has grown to over $1.5M in annual revenue with a lean team, proving that a calm, sustainable approach to building software can win in the crowded productivity space.
DailyDropout Take
Sunsama caught our attention as a refreshingly human approach to productivity software โ instead of gamifying output or adding AI bells and whistles, it helps professionals plan realistic days and actually go home satisfied. The YC-backed team proved the model works by reaching profitability with just 9 people, building a calm company in a space dominated by hustle culture.
Discovery signal: YC W19 batch, strong organic word-of-mouth in productivity communities, unusual bootstrapped-to-profitable trajectory in a VC-heavy space
What Makes Them Unique
Sunsama takes an intentionally calm approach to productivity โ rather than optimizing for output, it helps professionals set realistic daily goals, timebox their work, and reflect at day's end. Its deep integrations with 15+ tools make it the single pane of glass for a professional's workday.
