Mobile App Settings

Settings in the Sunsama iPhone and Android apps, from appearance and timers to notifications and sharing.

The iPhone and Android apps have their own settings, separate from your account settings on the web and desktop. Open them from the menu in the tab bar, then tap Settings.

Workspace

If you belong to more than one workspace, a Workspace row at the top of Settings lets you switch between them.

Appearance

  • Left hand mode: moves the app’s controls within reach of your left thumb.
  • Allow font scaling: follows the text size from your system settings.
  • RTL mode: swaps the app to right-to-left. Not foolproof. Requires an app restart.
  • Hide the status bar (iPhone) or Full screen mode (Android).
  • Haptic feedback: short vibrations when you complete, drag or schedule a task.

Timer

  • Fine-grained time interval: one-minute increments for planned and actual time, instead of five.
  • Live Activities (iPhone): show the running timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
  • Ongoing timer notification (Android): show a persistent notification while a timer or break is running.
  • Long-running timer reminder: tells you when a timer has been running a long time, so you can stop one you forgot about. Choose how long to wait with Remind me after.

Notifications

  • Visible notifications: banners and the app icon badge. Silent background syncs are always on.
  • Badge count: shows the tasks left to do today on the app icon. Only appears when visible notifications are on.
  • Mark the widget done: the home screen widget shows a done state once you finish every task.

To choose which events notify you, see Notifications in your account settings.

Sharing

  • Fast sharing: skip the Add Task dialog and import straight away when you share a link to Sunsama. See Add tasks via URL.
  • Default email app: choose which email app Sunsama uses to open your mail.
  • Add to Siri (iPhone): a shortcut to add tasks with your voice.

Sync

Offline mode keeps working without a connection and synchronizes your changes when you turn it back off. It only appears if your organization has enabled it.

Help and diagnostics

At the bottom of Settings, Log out signs you out of the app on that device.
