Sunrise Going to Microsoft

February 4, 2015

I’ve been a fan of the calendar app Sunrise for about a year now. When Fullscreen acquired Supernova, I realized that my (lack of) calendar management was going to blow up in my face. I knew I’d forget something at some point. That’s what happens when you work at a bigger company. There are more meetings and fewer are just impromptu “let’s talk about this right now” meetings. There’s a bigger consideration of managing meetings across many departments and people.

Besides, I’ve found that I’m forgetful. Forget that I have dinner plans or that in three weekends I’ve got something set up.

Sunrise put that all in one place. Between work calendars, personal plans, Facebook events, they’re all right there to see together.

On top of that, they always were on top of responding to me if I ever had issues.

That’s why I’m excited for the team when I heard Sunrise was acquired by Microsoft.
