YWGSD vs Sunsama
Sunsama asks you to sit down each morning and plan the day yourself, and it’s very good at making that pleasant. YWGSD does the planning, and does it again whenever the day changes.
Every Sunsama fact here was read on their own site on 22 September 2026. Prices move — check theirs too.
Pick YWGSD if
- you don’t want a daily ritual to keep up
- you want work placed for you, not dragged into place

- you want a refund you can take yourself
Pick Sunsama if
- the morning ritual is the part you actually want
- you’re on Android, Windows or Linux
- you live in Slack, Notion, Jira or Asana and want them pulled in
- you want a trial with no card

The three differences that matter
The plan happens without you
Sunsama’s day is one you build each morning; their own comparison page says it only auto-adjusts tasks when you take explicit action. YWGSD places every task itself and rebuilds the day whenever a meeting lands, something overruns or you finish early.

Nothing gets archived for being old
In Sunsama, a task that rolls over several days in a row is archived. In YWGSD there’s no such thing: it keeps moving to your next opening, and turns amber once its deadline has passed, until you finish it or cancel it on purpose.

A refund you take yourself
Sunsama’s terms say all purchases are final. YWGSD emails you 3 days before the first charge, and for 7 days after it there’s a button in Settings that refunds it without a conversation.
Where Sunsama is better
Written plainly, because you’re going to find out anyway.
- native apps on every platform, including Android, Windows and Linux
- more than 20 integrations for pulling tasks in
- a 14-day trial with no card
- the daily ritual itself, if that’s what you’re after
- SOC 2 and SSO
Switching takes about ten minutes
- 1
Connect your calendars
Google, Outlook and iCloud. We read them so work lands around your meetings, and we never write to them.
- 2
Say when you work
One set of hours to start with. Add more later if the evenings belong to something else.
- 3
Type your list into the Inbox
One line, Enter, next — the field keeps focus, so a whole list goes in as fast as you can type it. No lengths or deadlines yet.
- 4
Give it the once-over
How long, how important, and it’s scheduled. Keep Sunsama running alongside for a week if you like; nothing here writes to your calendar, so the two can’t fight.
