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 Task Priority.
- 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.

Backlog 2.0
The new backlog is out of beta, and the old backlog is no more.
This means everyone now has a dedicated page for organizing the tasks in your backlog.
The new backlog page is our first time deviating from the kanban card style view. We think that a list view is better than a card view when you've got a ton of tasks to scroll through.
You can still view the backlog in the more compact card view in the right panel, but when you want to do some proper backlog grooming, or brain dumping, the dedicated backlog view should feel much roomier.
Available on web an mobile
The new backlog is
the
backlog option in both the web and mobile apps. On the web app, you can access it via the new backlog button in the left panel. On the mobile app, you can access it via the new backlog button in the bottom drawer.
Prioritizing tasks using time buckets
The new backlog is structured into time buckets:
- Someday in the next week or two
- Someday in the next month
- Someday in the next quarter
- Someday in the next year
- Someday
- Never
This structure gives a flexible but systematic way to differentiate which tasks in your backlog are worth prioritizing sooner rather than later.
Organizing tasks using folders
You can create folders in your backlog if you've got too many to keep in a single list. You can have folders for projects, life areas, or whatever categories you like to group your backlogged tasks in.
Folders are just for the backlog. Once a task gets scheduled to a particular day, the folder designation will be hidden.
