What is Sunrise?

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.

Who it's for

• Google Tasks power users who need more than flat lists — a Today view, overdue section, and week-at-a-glance planning that Google Tasks alone doesn't offer.
• Busy professionals who want to see their calendar and tasks side by side without switching between Google Calendar and Tasks throughout the day.
• Kanban fans who prefer organizing work visually by dragging tasks between columns, all while keeping their Google Tasks lists perfectly in sync.

Key features

Today view

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.

Upcoming agenda

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.

Calendar week view

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.

Kanban tasks

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.

What stands out

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.

Worth checking out if…

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.
