What is Sunsama?
Sunsama ships Task Priority + Auto-Sort and starts wiring Sunny into MCP — daily planning gets opinionated.
Sunsama is in steady weekly-release cadence, with the bulk of recent work concentrated in two places: the Task Priority + Auto-Sort system, which has just graduated from beta into a documented core feature, and the Sunny AI assistant, which is gaining persistent memory and MCP-callable primitives like get_task_by_id. The integration surface continues to deepen — Linear, Todoist, Jira, Asana imports now carry priority signal through into Sunsama's own model.
What is Notesnook?
Notesnook ships steady point releases across desktop and Android, with hotfixes close behind
Notesnook is on a tight release cadence across desktop and Android, moving through the v3.3.x line. The recent window is dominated by maintenance: a desktop and an Android hotfix both addressing a 'file size is 0' attachment-upload bug, plus routine point releases whose details live on the changelog blog.
Sunsama vs Notesnook: editorial side-by-side
Sunsama
6.3PM
Sunsama ships Task Priority + Auto-Sort and starts wiring Sunny into MCP — daily planning gets opinionated.
◆ Current state
Sunsama is in steady weekly-release cadence, with the bulk of recent work concentrated in two places: the Task Priority + Auto-Sort system, which has just graduated from beta into a documented core feature, and the Sunny AI assistant, which is gaining persistent memory and MCP-callable primitives like get_task_by_id. The integration surface continues to deepen — Linear, Todoist, Jira, Asana imports now carry priority signal through into Sunsama's own model.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from 'manual daily planner' toward 'opinionated planner that can be driven by Sunny or external agents.' Auto-Sort is the most telling move: Sunsama is now willing to reorder the user's day on its own based on priority and scheduled time, which is a philosophical step away from the manual drag-and-drop heritage. The MCP work signals they want Sunsama to be addressable by other AI tools — not just consumed via the Sunny UI.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next few weekly drops to expand Sunny's MCP toolset (write actions, not just reads) and to roll priority rollover into more of the integration importers. A 'Sunny plans your day' end-to-end flow that leans on the new priority + auto-sort plumbing is the natural next milestone.
Notesnook ships steady point releases across desktop and Android, with hotfixes close behind
◆ Current state
Notesnook is on a tight release cadence across desktop and Android, moving through the v3.3.x line. The recent window is dominated by maintenance: a desktop and an Android hotfix both addressing a 'file size is 0' attachment-upload bug, plus routine point releases whose details live on the changelog blog.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is incremental hardening of the encrypted-notes clients rather than headline features — frequent small releases with fast hotfix turnaround when regressions surface. The attachment-upload bug appearing on two platforms suggests a shared sync/upload path the team patched quickly.
◆ Prediction
Expect the v3.3.x point-release stream to continue at this pace, with cross-platform parity and prompt hotfixes as the operating norm; larger feature work isn't visible from these version-only entries.
