Sunsama
Replaceable in one session with an AI coding agent.
A daily planner that pulls tasks from your other tools, asks you to choose what fits in a day, and puts each one on the calendar with a time estimate.
Build a daily planner with a hard limit. STACK - SQLite, a small Node app, an iCalendar feed out THE PLAN - Each task has an estimate; the day has a capacity in hours - The page refuses to accept a task past capacity and says how much is left - That refusal is the entire product. A planner that lets you add everything is a list PULLING TASKS IN - One adapter per source returning a common shape - Two sources at first: your tracker and a plain Markdown file THE REVIEW - At the end of the day, mark done or move on, and record the actual time - Show planned against actual for the last two weeks; that ratio is what fixes estimates SHOWING IT ELSEWHERE - Publish the plan as an iCalendar feed at a secret URL, so it appears in any calendar Include the capacity rule, one adapter and the feed.
What you lose
- A daily planning ritual designed to stop you overcommitting, which is a product decision more than a feature
- Task import from a dozen trackers and inboxes
- Calendar writes so the plan is visible to colleagues
If you would rather not build
- A paper notebook, which is what this digitises
- Todoist with a daily filter
