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.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Sunrise for myself. I rely on Google Tasks every day, but I kept hitting the same wall: it’s fine for jotting things down, terrible for actually planning your day.
Google’s Tasks app is basically a notepad. You add items, check them off, and that’s about it. It can’t answer a simple question like “What do I need to do today?” There’s no overdue view, no day-by-day agenda. Just lists inside lists.
You can get some of this in Google Calendar. Tasks show up there, and you can piece together a view of your day. But Calendar is built for events. Tasks are an afterthought, buried in side panels, awkward to manage, and never the main focus.
So I built the planner I wanted. After using it for a while, I figured others might find it useful too. That’s why I’m sharing it.
Sunrise is a planner for Google Tasks. Sign in with Google and your existing task lists sync both ways. You get:
Today: everything due today, plus overdue items you’ve been ignoring
Upcoming: a rolling view of what’s due day by day
Tasks: your lists, but actually usable for planning
Calendar events show up for context when you need them. But this isn’t a calendar app. The focus is making Google Tasks work the way a task planner should.
What matters to me:
Your data stays in Google. Sunrise is a client, not a second database.
Works with the Google Tasks you already have. No migration, no new task system.
What’s the one thing Google Tasks fails at for your workflow? That feedback directly shapes what I build next.
Thanks for checking out Sunrise 🙏
