Sunrise combines Google Calendar and Google Tasks into one screen, synced bidirectionally.
Grounded in available product and source data
Google Calendar and Tasks, one unified view is Sunrise's entire premise: an event and a to-do for the same day usually live in two separate Google apps, and Sunrise merges both into a single Today view instead of asking a user to keep checking two tabs.
That single view isn't the only way to look at a day, either — an Upcoming agenda scrolls through overdue, today, and upcoming items together, a Week calendar keeps a familiar layout for anyone used to a standard weekly grid, and a Kanban board organizes tasks across lists structured to mirror Google Tasks directly, so nothing about the underlying data model changes just because the interface looks different.
Sync runs both directions: a task checked off in Sunrise shows as done in Google Tasks, and an event added in Google Calendar shows up in Sunrise automatically, with the site stating Sunrise functions purely as a client interface — calendar and task data stays in the user's own Google account rather than getting copied into a separate database. That matters for anyone hesitant to hand scheduling data to a third-party service that might store it independently.
The Free tier covers full sync with no credit card required, though it's currently web-only, with native iOS and Android apps still in development rather than already shipped — worth checking current status if a mobile app specifically is the deciding factor. A Pro tier is described as launching, adding multi-account support, Google Workspace compatibility, custom themes, and priority sync for anyone managing more than one calendar. The site is direct about scope: this is built for personal day planning, not team project boards or shared kanban workflows.
No — since everything lives in the underlying Google account rather than a separate Sunrise-owned database, dropping the app wouldn't take the actual data down with it.
Yes — sync runs bidirectionally, so a change made in Sunrise reflects in Google Tasks or Google Calendar automatically, and the reverse is also true.
Through a mobile browser pointed at the web app — native iOS and Android apps are in development but not yet available, so there's no dedicated app to install just yet.
No — the site is explicit that it's built for personal day planning rather than team project boards or shared kanban workflows, so a team looking for collaborative task management would need a different tool.
Not the core merge itself — the Today view, sync, and Kanban board behave the same on both tiers; Pro is about extending reach (more accounts, more customization) rather than changing the base experience.
