vs. Sunsama
Sunsama pioneered the calm daily planning ritual. todovo.io takes the same philosophy — morning plan, focused work, evening reflection — and makes it accessible at $4/month instead of $16/month.
That's 75% less — enough to save over $140 a year for the same daily planning workflow.
Sunsama has one of the most thoughtful daily planning experiences available. Its guided shutdown ritual, time estimates, integrations with Asana, Jira, Todoist, and Linear, and its weekly review are all well-executed. If your workflow is built around those integrations, Sunsama earns its price.
But for many people — especially solo workers, freelancers, and small teams — Sunsama's depth is more than needed, and its price is hard to justify. todovo.io builds on the same calm planning philosophy and adds notes, projects, and people management in a single tool — for a quarter of the cost.
Morning plan, focused work through the board, end-of-day celebration, Friday weekly review. todovo.io shares Sunsama's core belief: a great workday has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Each morning you decide what matters. Each evening you acknowledge what you finished. The rhythm is intentional, not accidental.
todovo.io includes a full rich-text notes system. Daily notes let you capture quick thoughts during the day; they get processed into tasks and meetings at day completion. Long-form notes live alongside tasks, linked to projects and people. Sunsama has no native notes layer — you'd need a separate app.
@mention colleagues in tasks and notes. Tag people you need to talk to with "Talk to @Name". View every task, note, and meeting related to a person on their detail page. Names sync across your entire content automatically when updated. Sunsama handles tasks and time but doesn't model relationships between people and work.
Color-coded projects give your tasks context. Each project shows completion percentage, groups related tasks, notes, and meetings in one place, and surfaces overdue items. You can filter your day planner by project to stay focused on what matters for a particular initiative. Sunsama's project support is more limited.
