Sunsama Alternative: Domani for Evening-First Planning
Sunsama helped lots of folks fall in love with daily planning, but it still expects you to rebuild everything the moment you wake up. Domani’s take is simpler: plan at night, execute in the morning, and keep your best energy for actually doing the work.

Why evening-first wins
- You wrap the day while it’s fresh. Move unfinished work with intent, not guilt.
- Sleep with a calmer brain. Offload the spinning thoughts and fall asleep faster.
- Mornings become press play. Open Domani and you’re already in “go” mode.
Migration tips
- Import your Sunsama tasks via CSV straight into Domani’s capture inbox.
- Turn your favorite rituals (Workday Shutdown, Weekly Review) into Domani routines.
- Use the MIT guardrail to turn sprawling lists into three crisp commitments.
- Set the plan-lock reminder for 30 minutes before you usually log off.
When Sunsama still makes sense
If your whole team lives inside a shared daily planner with kanban boards, Sunsama may still be the right vibe. Domani is for operators, founders, and ICs who just want calmer mornings without babysitting another complex tool.
