Best Sunsama alternative for Mac

What is the best Sunsama alternative for Mac?

For people who plan their own day and lose it to distraction, Focuh is the best Sunsama alternative on Mac. It keeps Today beside Google Calendar and blocks distracting sites and apps across the whole Mac during a focus session. If your work arrives from Jira, Asana, and Slack and you want a guided ritual to sort it, stay on Sunsama. Free. Early beta. No subscription.

Signs you have outgrown Sunsama

You finish the morning planning ritual with a realistic day, then lose the afternoon to a feed. You rarely touch the Jira, Asana, or Gmail imports because you write most tasks yourself. You pay $17 a month on the yearly plan, or $22 month to month (as of October 2026), mostly for the planning screen. If two of those sound familiar, the planner is not your bottleneck.

What changes when you switch

Your list moves into four rooms. Today is the short list for this day, shown beside your Google Calendar so you can see the gaps. Week holds the next few days. Loops hold recurring intentions without dates: you pull one onto Today when it fits, and it is still waiting tomorrow. Goals keep one target per horizon in view. On Mac, starting a focus session blocks the sites and apps you chose everywhere, not only in one browser, which Sunsama does not do. The web app opens the same list in any browser.

Who should stay on Sunsama

Stay if your day starts in team tools and you want them pulled into one guided morning plan, or if you rely on Sunsama to time-block that imported work on a calendar. Focuh does not import from Jira, Asana, or Gmail, and it does not try to. Some people keep Sunsama for the team side and use Focuh for the hours they spend at the Mac.
