Improvements

There are a few requests for 'trigger XYZ when focus mode is turned on' in the community already. I personally would love to: Block distracting apps (I'm currently using https://focusapp.com/ for this) Turn off do not disturb on my Mac whenever focus mode is enabled (and vice-versa, disable these things when I go out of focus mode). The lowest effort way of doing this would be providing two webhooks (or two Zapier triggers) based on: focus mode turned on focus mode turned off Then I could build these workflows myself

Would love something similar to https://freedom.to/ in sunsama My worst habit right now is checking slack while in deep work, having a blocker in sunsama during focus mode to block out all distractions (a list of apps, sites, & potentially notifications) would help so much.

Daily/Weekly planning task is created when entering daily/weekly planning modes so that we can start a timer on those tasks and see it in analytics.

I like the Focus or Today view, however I feel like it's not taking advantage of the screen real estate. The tasks column and Calendar could both be wider. Just a suggestion :)

It would be great to have an option near the "time remaining" to see what time you are on track to fish your work. Also, have an option to separate work and personal tasks, so I can see when I'm scheduled to finish my work tasks specifically.

While in focus mode, we should have the option to see the calendar! I often find myself in deep work and realize that I'm behind on other tasks I should be doing that day. I know there's a prompt to says, "Time to shift focus?" but I also want to look at my calendar while I'm in focus mode! Right now, annoyingly, I have to hover my mouse on the right side of my screen to see the calendar! I want to emphasise the word "Option" here to say that not everyone might want this feature (I include myself in this group as I may want to fully focus sometimes) so the ability to turn it off and on is ideal!

I love the focus bar for keeping me on task! I would find it even more useful if it reminded me what time I'm supposed to finish working on the task. For example, if I'm scheduled to work on something until 2pm, it would be so helpful to see 2pm listed. (The time bar helps some, but I find myself having to dip back into my calendar to confirm.)

I created a "task" for myself that was mostly a reminder to take breaks and relax today on a day that had a bunch of stuff and I'm also about to leave on a trip. Keeping it at the top of the list meant I had a nice reminder pop up every time another task was done - it was great! But then I have to go back home and move to the next task. Got me thinking that being able to add something like this and have it pop up whenever the next task comes along but not interfere with the next task would be a lovely feature.

While I love the philosophy of intentionality behind Sunsama's timer features, I cannot remember to start or stop a timer with any regularity for the life of me. Unfortunately that makes the time data pretty useless for me, which is sad because it would be really valuable. After doing a deep dive on the time trackers out there, I landed on Daily Time Tracking: https://dailytimetracking.com/ Basically, it automatically starts when I open my computer, and I have set it to prompt me every 15 minutes to choose what I'm doing. This helps me in 2 ways: I don't have to remember to start or stop a timer to get data about how I'm spending my time in reality (which often veers away from my plan). While it is a slight interruption, it is a good interruption because it helps me be mindful about what I'm doing and whether it's what I should be doing. While I like the minimalism and approach Daily uses, I would like it even more if it tied into my plan for the day and made it easier to compare my plan vs reality. If there are other users who are incapable of remembering to use timers it might be a feature or integration worth considering.

I like to go through my tasks during my commute using the mobile app. I'll start the timer and eventually finish the task, but will be unable to stop the timer because I lose connectivity. I'm not sure if the offline mode will really help my use case, but it'd be a hassle to have to scroll down past my list of channels, open the settings, and then enable the settings to just stop the timer.
