Google Tasks is fine for jotting things down. It’s terrible for planning your day. No Today view. No overdue section. No way to see what’s due this week at a glance. Just flat lists. Sunrise is a planner built on top of Google Tasks. See today’s tasks, catch what’s overdue, scroll through what’s coming up, and organize work on a kanban board — all synced with your existing Google Tasks lists. Your data stays in Google.

Sunrise is a focused planner that sits on top of Google Calendar and Google Tasks, combining your schedule and to-do lists into one calm, unified interface. Instead of juggling separate apps or staring at flat task lists, you get a Today view, an upcoming agenda, a week calendar, and a kanban board — all synced in real time with your existing Google account. Your data never leaves Google; Sunrise simply gives you a better way to see and act on it.
See your calendar events and task list for the current day at a single glance. No app switching, no digging through menus — just what's on for today, presented clearly.
Scroll through overdue items, today's tasks, and everything coming up in one continuous agenda. It's built for action, so you can quickly catch up on what slipped and plan ahead without jumping between views.
Navigate your week with a familiar calendar layout that gives you quick access to events. Combined with the task side, you can see how your time and to-dos align across the week.
Organize your Google Tasks lists on a drag-friendly kanban board. Move tasks between columns to reflect progress or priority, and every change syncs back to Google Tasks automatically.
Sunrise doesn't copy your data — it's a client interface that reads and writes directly to your Google account.
That means zero data migration, no separate database, and no privacy concerns. You sign in with Google, and everything you see in Sunrise is already in your Google Calendar and Tasks. The product's edge is purely in the interface: a Today view, overdue section, and kanban board that Google Tasks lacks, all layered on top of the tools you already use. It's free on the web today, with iOS and Android apps on the way.
You rely on Google Tasks but find it frustrating for daily planning — no Today view, no overdue section, no week overview. If you want a clean, focused planner that respects your existing data and syncs seamlessly, Sunrise is worth a look. It's also a strong fit if you prefer a kanban workflow but don't want to abandon Google Tasks or introduce a separate tool.
