Our verdict on Open Sunsama

Open Sunsama is an open-source daily planner and task manager for individuals, managers, engineers, and teams that organize work through daily kanban boards, calendar time blocks, focus sessions, and task rollover. Its task tools include subtasks, notes, attachments, priorities, and estimates, while recurring routines support repeatable planning. Hosted web access is available alongside Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android applications, with Docker-based self-hosting for teams that want to run the project themselves.

Its ecosystem fit is a central strength. Open Sunsama synchronizes with Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCloud, giving users a multi-calendar planning layer rather than a task list isolated from existing schedules. The MCP connector connects workflows with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, and VS Code. A REST API with scoped API keys extends that model to programmatic task and schedule management. These capabilities make it a practical choice for users who want calendar planning alongside configurable developer and AI-assistant workflows.

The product’s main trade-off is focus: it supports priority replanning and natural-language planning input, but its planning model centers on organizing work into time blocks and routines rather than automatic scheduling. Licensing also matters. The custom non-commercial license permits personal, educational, nonprofit, open-source, and evaluation use, while commercial use by for-profit companies requires an enterprise license. Choose Open Sunsama if open-source ownership, self-hosting, broad platform coverage, and structured daily planning are priorities. Choose another tool if automatic scheduling is the defining requirement or if commercial licensing without an enterprise agreement is necessary.

I've used Open Sunsama myself and this is my honest opinion — nobody paid or asked me to write it.
