Origins of SunSama: Building a Daily Planning Tool
SunSama was born out of a realization that existing tools like Google Calendar or Outlook were insufficient for helping individuals effectively plan their daily tasks. The founders, Ashutosh Priyadarshi and Travis, recognized the need for a tool that could enhance daily productivity and intentional planning. Through years of exploring various product ideas in the productivity space, which led to the launch and sunsetting of multiple products, they honed in on the concept of SunSama as a comprehensive daily planning layer above other tools.
