FlowSavvy vs Open Sunsama

FlowSavvy automatically schedules tasks in a calendar and rearranges them when plans change. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and syncs with Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, and iCloud Calendar. Users can drag auto-scheduled tasks to lock them in place and configure scheduling hours, dependencies, priorities, and due dates. It supports recurring tasks and integrations with Todoist, Claude, MCP, API, and Zapier; the public API is available only on Pro. FlowSavvy says it changes only tasks with Auto-Schedule enabled and leaves calendar events untouched. It can be installed as a standalone desktop app in supported browsers, but requires an internet connection and has no offline mode. Month and year calendar views are not currently available. The Free plan has limits on profiles, repeating tasks, lists, and scheduling range. Pro is listed at $14 a month billed monthly; the pricing note also lists paid plans from $10/user/mo (annual) and a 7-day trial.

Open Sunsama is a task manager and daily planner built around a board of days and calendar time blocking. Move tasks from a backlog to a daily board; unfinished work rolls over to tomorrow. Focus mode times a task and tracks actual time against its estimate. It syncs Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCloud, with support for multiple accounts. Time blocks stay in Open Sunsama rather than being copied to Google or Outlook calendars. Its hosted MCP server connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients through OAuth and provides 24 tools. The REST API covers tasks, subtasks, and time blocks, with selectable API-key scopes. Users can also self-host the web app, API, MCP server, and PostgreSQL database using Docker Compose. The free plan costs nothing for personal use. The non-commercial license limits production use by companies, and there is no one-click export button. Desktop apps are available for Mac, Windows, and Linux; phones use the mobile web app, as no native phone app is available yet.
