About Sunsama
Sunsama ships Task Priority + Auto-Sort and starts wiring Sunny into MCP — daily planning gets opinionated.
Sunsama is in steady weekly-release cadence, with the bulk of recent work concentrated in two places: the Task Priority + Auto-Sort system, which has just graduated from beta into a documented core feature, and the Sunny AI assistant, which is gaining persistent memory and MCP-callable primitives like get_task_by_id. The integration surface continues to deepen — Linear, Todoist, Jira, Asana imports now carry priority signal through into Sunsama's own model.
