How to use

You begin in the daily shutdown flow. The first step displays the tasks you worked on that day with a time breakdown. Click “Next” to generate your daily highlights.

Daily highlights interface

Highlights

This section lists and summarizes your noteworthy work from the day. Some highlights are auto-included via a ranking algorithm, and you can manually include more from “Other activities.”

Your highlights should remain focused, not exhaustive. AI-generated summaries are available and can be edited or hidden.

The action bar on each highlight lets you:

  • Remove the highlight
  • Highlight (star) it for emphasis
  • Hide/show the AI summary
  • Resummarize the highlight
  • Edit the title

You can drag and drop to reorder and nest highlights. The “Add a highlight” option creates a new Sunsama task.

Other activities

This section is visible only to you. It shows an exhaustive list of tasks, to-dos, items, and emails tracked via Sunsama. You can include items in your highlights by hovering over them and clicking “Include” or by dragging them into the highlights section.

Personal reflection

This is a manual section for reflecting on your workday, including what went well, concerns, and obstacles. You can select an emoji and optionally use custom prompt templates.

Publish

Clicking “Publish” saves your highlights in Sunsama and optionally shares them via your configured destinations.

Settings and navigation

  • Date picker (top left) lets you view previous days’ highlights.
  • The right panel shows a task overview with planned and actual times.

Daily highlights journal

The daily highlights journal is accessible from the left panel and shows all your past highlights in a journal format. From here, you can edit, unpublish, or reshare highlights via email, markdown copy, or a direct link.
