Sunsama Release Notes

Improved

Recurring tasks with a fixed start time: A recurring task with a specific "roughly at" start time now only holds that slot on its originally scheduled day. If it rolls over to a later day, it's sorted normally with your other tasks instead of jumping ahead.

Sunny now has access to our help center: Sunny can look up help articles directly when answering your questions, and is more careful with new users who are still learning what Sunsama can do.

Last used sign-in method: The login page now shows a small badge on whichever sign-in method (Google, Outlook, SSO, or email/password) you used last, so it's easy to find your way back in.

Fixed

Calendar and desktop app reliability after sleep/wake: Fixed a cluster of issues where calendar integrations could stop refreshing, briefly disappear, or have their settings silently revert after your computer woke from sleep or the app sat idle. Plus more reliable desktop auto-updates, with a single "Relaunch to update" prompt instead of repeated nag notifications and a macOS install fix.

Onboarding help links: Fixed broken links in the "Set up Sunsama" onboarding task.

Jira "Done" styling: Tickets marked Done in Jira now correctly show with strikethrough styling in link previews.

Todoist due dates: Fixed an edge case that could cause a Todoist task's due date to briefly display incorrectly after being changed.

Sunny chat and voice: Fixed Sunny chat and voice being completely unavailable due to an underlying AI model change.

Added

Notes & comments indicator — Task cards now show a small icon when they have notes or comments attached, so you can see which tasks have additional context without opening each one. Visible on the kanban board, backlog, and mobile.

Improved

AI channel recommendations for calendar events: Imported calendar events now get automatic channel assignments from AI channel recommendations, matching the behavior you'd expect from other integrations.

Sunsama MCP: edit and append task notes: The Sunsama MCP server now supports editing and appending to task notes via edit_task_notes and append_task_notes tools, and task creation tools now accept Markdown for notes.

Fixed

Sunny stripping legitimate URLs: Fixed an issue where Sunny was incorrectly removing valid links from AI responses. URLs in Sunny's replies now also render as clickable links.

Duplicate tasks in Todoist filter views: Subtasks no longer appear twice in the Todoist Today and Next 7 Days filter views.

Teams meeting-chat backlinks: The "Go to original Teams message" link on tasks created from Teams meeting chats now navigates correctly instead of briefly flashing and redirecting.

Weekly review date picker for non-Monday week start: The date picker in Weekly Review and Weekly Planning now shows the correct week for users whose week starts on Sunday or Saturday.

Outlook subtask sync errors: Fixed a data issue where corrupted Outlook subtask identifiers could cause the task list to fail to load.

Fixed:

ClickUp automation toggles: Toggles in ClickUp integration settings (Due date sync, Mark as complete, Assign to me, etc.) were unresponsive for some accounts.

ClickUp task import: Pasting a ClickUp task link in the new URL format (with workspace ID in the path) was failing to import.

Notion task import: Pasting Notion's new app.notion.com/p/... links created a plain website task instead of a linked Notion task.

Notion panel crash: Opening the Notion integration panel before your workspace data finished loading could crash the panel.

Sunny's tone: Sunny no longer slips into terms of endearment.

Recurring tasks via Sunny: Asking Sunny to create or edit a recurring task with an end date or limited number of occurrences now gives a clear message instead of failing unexpectedly.

Added

• Sunny reasoning: Sunny now shows its thinking process as a collapsible summary while it works.
• Toggl task mapping: You can now map Sunsama tasks to specific Toggl tasks within a project from your channel settings, for more precise time tracking
• MCP backlog sorting: The GET_BACKLOG_TASKS MCP tool now returns tasks in your backlog order instead of random order

Improved

• MCP timeboxing: The timebox_a_task_to_calendar tool now respects your per-channel calendar settings, matching how timeboxing works in the UI
• Sunny chat: The chat window now stays pinned to the bottom while Sunny is streaming a response

Fixed

• iCloud calendar events: Bookings synced via iCloud (e.g. from cal.com) were incorrectly treated as free time, causing tasks to be auto-scheduled on top of them
• Monthly recurrence: Selecting recurring days in a different order no longer picks the wrong first occurrence; "last day of month" combined with specific days now works correctly
• Backlog pagination: Tasks at position 0 in the backlog were silently dropped when scrolling past page boundaries
• Subtask timer: Pausing a subtask timer now immediately reflects in the UI; no page reload needed
• Trello import: Pasting a Trello card URL into the task dialog now correctly carries over the due date
• Asana My Tasks: Custom sections now load correctly when sorted by due date (affects paid Asana plans with custom sections)
• Outlook links: Email backlinks in the desktop app now use the correct URL format and open reliably in your browser
• Calendar visibility toggle: The toggle to mark a calendar event as non-blocking is now reliably responsive
• Task merging (macOS): Option-dragging a task onto another to merge it as a subtask no longer crashes and freezes the UI

Added

Task Priority: Set priorities with a single keystroke and filter your daily view to focus on what matters most. Read more about how it works here.

Linear: Hide done tasks: New "Hide done" toggle in the Linear integration panel filters out completed issues from your list.

MCP improvements: Sunny can now see integration source details on imported tasks (GitHub repo, Linear issue number, Jira key, etc.), and a new get_task_by_id tool lets you fetch any task directly by its Sunsama ID.

Disable spellcheck: New user toggle in Settings > Display to turn off spell-check across all text editors.

Improved

Import priority from integrations: Tasks imported from Linear, Todoist, Jira, Asana, and other sources now carry their priority signal into Sunsama.

Auto-sort on integration import: Tasks added via the integration panel now respect your auto-sort preference and land in their correct sorted position.

Auto-sort on day change: Moving a task to a different day via keyboard shortcuts (D / S), right-click reschedule, the date picker, PlanDay, or the mobile long-press menu now triggers auto-sort on the destination day.

Fixed

Various auto-sort bug fixes: Several gaps where auto-sort didn't run when it should have been addressed across import and day-change workflows.

Fixed a tablet log in issue

Menu bar event order: Upcoming events in the Mac menu bar are now sorted chronologically.

Toggl: full channel name visible on hover.

Workload counter: snoozed tasks with subtasks handled correctly in today's workload counter for time remaining

Fixed an issue with recurring tasks start time changing to midnight.

Desktop: Dock icon raises main window

Desktop: Focus bar respects "focus mode disabled" setting on break start

Desktop: Pomodoro sounds restored: Session-end and break-end sounds were silently dropped during a recent focus bar refactor and are now back.

Desktop: Focus bar z-order on Windows: Focus bar no longer loses its always-on-top position after running for a while.

Task Priority

Mark which tasks are important.

There are now two priority systems: one for your daily task list, and one for your backlog. They serve different purposes, so they have different levels and different behavior.

Daily priority

Daily priorities reset each day by default so they stay intentional.

Backlog priority

Backlog priorities persist.

Adjusting daily priority decay

By default, daily priority resets to "normal" the next day. The intent: a task you flagged as urgent for today shouldn't quietly stay urgent forever. If it rolls over and is still important tomorrow, you can re-flag it.

You can opt into rollover for specific levels in Settings → General → Priority rollover. Selected levels persist across days; unselected ones reset.

Auto-Sort

Auto-sort keeps your daily task list in a sensible order without you having to drag tasks around. When you create or change a task, Sunsama figures out where it should sit in the day's list and puts it there.

When auto-sort runs

Auto-sort repositions a task when:

• The task is created
• Its priority changes
• Its planned time changes
• A timer is started on it

It tries to move only the task that changed. In some situations, it might reposition other tasks as well to keep everything in chronological order.

What auto-sort honors

• Priority — higher-priority tasks land above lower-priority ones. See .
• Scheduled times — tasks with a fixed calendar time, and recurring tasks with rigid start times, stay in their chronological position
• Your manual pins — if you've manually dragged a task against priority order (e.g. a no-priority task above an urgent one), Sunsama assumes that's intentional and won't move it
• Running timer — if a timer is running on a task, that task stays pinned at the top

Turning auto-sort on or off

Go to Settings → General → Auto-sort tasks to enable or disable auto-sort entirely.

Added

Sunny remembers your preferences from chat. When you close a chat with Sunny, it now learns from the conversation and carries those preferences into future sessions.

Improved

• Backlog channel and folder filter is fully keyboard-accessible
• Evening planners: daily planning prompt checkmark is now correct

Fixed

• Backlog folder button label updates correctly
