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.
Today we rolled out a fix to an issue that could cause recurring tasks not appear on the days they were supposed to.
As a side effect of this fix,
it's possible you might see some of your recurring tasks duplicated on an adjacent day.
For most users, duplicate entries should only appear on days in the next 1-2 weeks.
If you notice a duplicate entry, you can simply delete it. It should not re-appear once deleted. If you need any help, just send us a message.
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.
daily-priority-options
Backlog priority
Backlog priorities persist.
backlog-priority-options
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 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.
