Sunsama Release Notes

On Monday August 31, 2026 Atlassian unexpectedly shipped breaking changes to Jira OAuth integrations. This made it impossible for any new users to add the Jira integration. Atlassian did not provide any way for us to edit our current integration configuration to be compliant with the breaking changes effectively stranding our current integration. We can't be certain what they broke since the changes are opaque to us but there were two issues we identified.

1. Atlassian apps now use granular scopes, many of our test apps were automatically migrated but not the main one customers interact with. Unfortunately, the ability to transition to granular scopes existed no where in their developer portal which stranded us.

2. Atlassian created a new flag for all integrations which decides whether permissions are granted for all the sites under your account at once or one site at a time. Our original integration used the old "all sites under the account" setting which was the only option at the time. Atlassian's developer portal made it impossible to swap to the new version when they made that optional - it can only be set exactly once when you create your integration's profile.

We've made many attempts to reach out to their support and senior leadership but heard nothing back about getting our integration transitioned. Instead of continuing to wait, we decided to pull the trigger and publish a brand new version of our Jira OAuth app.

This means all existing users of our Jira integration will need to perform a one time re-authorization. There's a screen that will walk you through it:

Once you perform the re-auth all tasks you had linked to Jira reconnect. Until you do this reconnection, they'll show as "not found".

We're extremely sorry about this extra step but Atlassian left us no choice. The silver lining for existing users, our Jira integration now uses the most modern scopes and a much safer one-site-at-a-time authorization system making it easier to control what access Sunsama gets.

Improved

Sunny and MCP are now fully available; no more "Beta" badges. (Voice mode is still labeled experimental since it's flakier than chat.)

Task automations now fire when using Claude Desktop or other MCP-connected AI assistants; completing or rescheduling a task through MCP now properly syncs with Todoist, Asana, ClickUp, Notion, Trello, and Gmail.

Fixed

Trello panel no longer crashes with an error screen; resolved a bug where a failed request to Trello could corrupt the task list and crash the panel.

Desktop app: fixed a 5–7 second stall returning from Settings; going back to your workspace after Settings on Mac or Windows no longer freezes.

AI assistants now report the correct task category; fixed a bug where tasks in nested channels showed the wrong personal/work classification when read through MCP.

Monday.com integration no longer hangs for accounts with lots of boards; fixed a bug that could make the board list take nearly a minute to load, or fail outright, for accounts that hadn't finished picking their boards yet.

Improved:

Repeat tasks every 7 or 8 weeks: The recurrence interval used to stop at six weeks; now you can go further out.

Pasting links from more tools now creates real linked tasks. Paste a Todoist, Trello, Notion, GitHub, or Linear link (17 services in total) via MCP and you'll get a fully linked task with preview and deep link, same as pasting it directly in the app, not just a plain URL.

Agents can rename and delete channels. Sunsama's MCP server now supports channel management directly.

Emails linked via MCP now load correctly for everyone. Tasks an AI agent links to an Outlook email no longer show "(Private message)" to the mailbox owner, and agents can now resolve a plain email address to the right account automatically.

Fixed:

Fixed a bug where an unrecognized Google Calendar permission could freeze your whole workspace on a loading spinner.

Cleaned up confusing tooltip wording on the built-in Sunsama calendar's "Enable" toggle, it was implying something the user hadn't actually chosen.

Added

Two-factor authentication: Add an extra layer of security to your account. Turn it on from Settings → Account, scan a QR code with your authenticator app of choice, and you're enrolled. Backup codes are provided in case you lose access to your device.

Improved

Clicking the focus bar now just brings the Sunsama window forward, instead of also forcing focus mode on whatever task was in the bar.

Daily highlights email time no longer drifts. Dragging the shutdown line for a single day only changes that day's draft time.

Microsoft Planner's group picker now shows every group in your organization, not just the first 100, and groups you're actually a member of sort to the top.

Changing a task's planned time no longer bumps it up or down the list by priority; it stays put and only shifts to keep the day in chronological order.

Completing a task now syncs everywhere. Checking off a task linked to Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, or Microsoft Planner updates the source item no matter where you complete it: mobile, Sunny, MCP, or the app.

Fixed

Recurring tasks no longer skip an occurrence when you change the repeat frequency after moving the task to a new day.

Monday.com board loading no longer hangs indefinitely on a failed connection.

The global "add task" shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+A → Ctrl+Enter) now correctly switches Focus Mode to the new task.

Tasks created from Gmail via MCP now include a link back to the source email.

"Hide declined events" now works for Outlook and iCloud calendars, not just Google.

Microsoft Planner no longer shows a stale plan selection after switching groups.

Improved

Timer-aware subtask completion: Pressing C while a subtask's timer is running now completes that subtask instead of the whole parent task — press again to complete the parent.

Microsoft Planner: Personal Teams, Loop, and Project-backed plans now show up in the Planner picker. Previously these were invisible in Sunsama even though you could see them in planner.cloud.microsoft.

Search: Task search is now case and punctuation insensitive. Exact matches still rank highest.

Fixed

Outlook email parsing: Outlook and mixed Outlook/Gmail email threads now split into individual messages instead of collapsing into one blob, so daily highlight summaries for Outlook accounts aren't empty or truncated anymore.

Editor: Typing right after a pasted link with a custom protocol (like a Shortcuts link) followed by a space no longer swallows what you type.

Asana panel: Fixed a bug where the Asana panel could show up blank on desktop (My Tasks and projects failing to load) even though the same account worked fine on web.

Gmail tasks: Tasks and subtasks created via Autoplan or MCP with a linked Gmail thread now open the correct email, and their Gmail icons are clickable again.

Ubuntu: Alt-drag task merging works again; it no longer silently drops the task in as a reorder instead of merging.

Jira: Tasks added via MCP with a linked Jira ticket now show the ticket ID on the card instead of "-undefined."

Added

macOS desktop app settings shortcut: You can now open Settings directly from the Sunsama desktop app menu on macOS with CMD , (command comma)

More supported deep links in task notes: Task notes now accept links from more apps, including Shortcuts, Logseq, Notion, Craft, Raycast, Zotero, Linear, Figma, VS Code, JetBrains, Discord, Telegram, and Spotify.

More task details exposed in MCP: Sunsama's MCP server now returns more information with tasks — when a task was created, when it was last modified, the exact moment it was completed, and its due date — so AI assistants can reason about task age, recency, and deadlines.

Fixed

Focus bar progress visibility: The green progress sliver that appears when you start a task's timer was too small to actually notice, especially in dark mode.

Archive panel showing tasks that shouldn't be there: Fixed a bug that could leave certain completed tasks incorrectly stuck showing in the Archive panel.

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.

Read more about task priority from the help center.

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.

Read more about auto-sort from the help center.

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

• lag on "plan your day" animation celebrations
• Number keys work in the priority dropdown
• Backlog channel and folder filter is fully keyboard-accessible
• Evening planners: daily planning prompt checkmark is now correct

Fixed

• Auto-sort no longer shuffles tasks unnecessarily
• Deleted archived tasks disappear immediately
• Long channel/folder names no longer overflow the add task modal
• Backlog folder button label updates correctly
