Is Tiimo or Structured better for ADHD?

Both are built with ADHD in mind, so pick by your sticking point. Tiimo suits you if starting is hard, with a timer that starts with each task and AI that breaks jobs into steps. Structured suits you if you want a clean, free timeline with no streaks.

Yes. The timeline and the inbox are free, as is almost every other feature. Pro adds the time-savers, such as repeating tasks and calendar import, and comes monthly, yearly or as a lifetime purchase.

Yes, with limits. The free version covers the planner and the focus timer with a few AI chats, in the phone and tablet apps only. The web app needs Tiimo Pro.

Does Tiimo work on Android?

Yes. Tiimo has a rebuilt Android app on Google Play that connects Google Calendar. iCloud calendars don't come in on Android yet.

Can Structured sync with Google Calendar?

One way only. With Pro, Structured brings in events from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook, but tasks you make in Structured don't show up in those calendars.

Which is cheaper, Tiimo or Structured?

Structured. Most of it is free, and Pro can be bought once, for $99.99 on the US App Store. Tiimo Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription, and its free trial comes only with the yearly plan.

Tiimo vs Structured (2026): which visual planner to pick

The short answer

Tiimo vs Structured comes down to where your day breaks. Can you plan just fine, and only want to see the day as coloured blocks? Pick Structured. Nearly all of it is free, on your phone and in a browser on any computer. Pick Tiimo when the plan is easy and starting is the hard bit. Its countdown begins by itself the minute a task starts, and its AI turns a vague job into timed steps. The catch is that Tiimo's free version lives on phones and tablets, so planning at a computer means paying for Pro.

How we compared them

Every fact here comes from Tiimo's and Structured's own websites, their help pages and their store listings, read on 31 October 2026. We built this from their documentation, not from weeks of daily use. That's why you won't find star ratings or scores.

We put six questions to both apps:

What's free, and what does Pro cost?
Where does it run?
How do you build a day in it, by hand or by asking its AI for a first draft?
Does it help you start?
What happens at 3pm, when half the plan is gone?
Will it work with your calendar and the people you live with?

Tiimo: best for getting started when time slips away

Tiimo calls itself "a visual AI planner built for real life" and says it was built by and for neurodivergent people. Apple made it iPhone App of the Year at the 2025 App Store Awards. Your day sits on a colour-coded timeline where every task has a countdown, even the subtasks inside a bigger one. Its App Store listing says it was co-designed with ADHD and autism experts, and it carries no ads.

Most of the extras are about you rather than the plan. You talk or type to a co-planner, and it hands back tasks with times on them. Once a day it asks what's left and how you feel. On iPhone, a streak counts the days you turn up. Weighing more apps than these two? Start with the best to do list app for ADHD.

Pick it if you lose track of time or freeze before a task, and you mostly plan on your phone. Skip it if you want to plan on a computer without paying, since the web app is part of Pro.

Structured: best for a free timeline on every device

Structured puts your tasks and to-dos on "a single visual timeline". Drag a block into place and give it a colour and an icon. Ideas without a time yet wait in the inbox. The App Store listing says it's built for ADHD minds, busy professionals and students. Its help centre says you can use almost every feature without Pro, and that the app shows no ads and doesn't sell your data.

Pro is mostly about typing less. It repeats tasks for you and pulls in your calendars, and it adds Structured AI plus Replan for the tasks you missed. Some things are missing by choice: you won't find streaks or completion stats, and there's no mood log. For more apps built around blocks of time, see the best time blocking app.

Pick it if you like planning the day yourself and want it free on your phone and your computer. Skip it if a routine has to repeat on its own and you won't pay, because repeating tasks are Pro.

What's free, and what Pro costs

Structured gives more away. Its free and Pro list keeps the timeline and the inbox free, along with subtasks, notes and sync between your devices. The App Store listing adds widgets and the focus timer to that. Pro holds the time-savers, and recurring tasks lead the list. That one matters more than it sounds. On the free version, a morning routine you want every weekday is a task you add five times a week. Pro also unlocks calendar import and custom alerts, on top of the AI and Replan.

Tiimo's free version is smaller. Tiimo's site names planning tools, to-do lists and the focus timer. Its App Store listing is blunter: a basic planner, limited AI chats, one profile. Tiimo's FAQ adds that the free version runs in the iOS and Android apps only, so the web app belongs to Pro.

Neither one publishes a price table, and both say the store shows your local price:

Structured Pro is sold monthly, yearly or once. In the US App Store the lifetime purchase is $99.99, while the monthly and yearly lines show several prices, from $2.99 to $6.99 a month and $9.99 to $49.99 a year.
In the US App Store, Tiimo Pro purchases run from $7.00 to $54.00 with no label saying which is monthly and which is yearly, so open the paywall in the app to see yours.
Tiimo's 7-day trial only comes with the yearly plan. If you choose monthly, the FAQ says you're charged right away, and Tiimo doesn't refund part-used periods.
Structured's trial page says every Pro feature is open while the trial runs.

Phones, computers and watches

Both run on iPhone, iPad, Android and Apple Watch, and both need iOS 18 or later on an iPhone. They part ways at a desk.

Structured has a Mac app and a web planner that opens in any major browser. Structured's device page says there's no Windows app, so a PC means the web version, which is still in beta and missing a few features. Android needs version 11 or later, per its compatibility page, and the Apple Watch is the only watch it supports.

Tiimo's FAQ lists the web and the Mac next to phones, tablets and the watch. The App Store adds that the Mac version needs an Apple M1 chip or newer. Its web planner has day, week and month views with drag and drop, and it's the only way onto a Windows PC, so a free Tiimo user plans on the phone. On Android, Tiimo is back as a rebuilt app, and its Google Play listing names Google Calendar as the calendar it connects.

Planning the day, by hand or with AI

By hand, the two feel alike: a list becomes blocks on a line, and you drag a block to move it. Tiimo's tasks guide splits your work in two. Tasks live on the Today tab with a time or as "Anytime", while to-dos wait in their own tab until you schedule them, which is the job Structured's inbox does. If giving every job a slot of its own is new to you, the guide to timeboxing walks through the method.

With AI, they split. In Tiimo you tap the co-planner, say or type what's on your mind, and get back suggested tasks, each with a time and an icon. Tiimo's AI page adds an estimate of how long each step takes. It also says the co-planner reshuffles the day when you tell it you're running late. Free users get a handful of these chats.

Structured AI takes plans you type or say as well, and it goes one step further with paper: scan a planner page or a written list, and it turns the lines into tasks. It's Pro only, and not on the web yet. Its help page says prompts go to OpenAI's servers and can be kept for up to 30 days to improve the feature, and that they aren't used to train the model.

Getting started on a task

This is where Tiimo earns its fans. According to its focus timer guide, the countdown starts by itself when a scheduled task begins. Need a break? Pause it. Running over, you tap +1 for another minute, and if you finish early you drag the timer to the end to tick the task off. Switching tasks leaves the first timer running. You can follow the countdown from a Home Screen widget, the Lock Screen, the web planner or your watch.

Structured has a focus timer too, with a Pomodoro mode built in, but Structured's timer page says both run on Apple devices only for now. The App Store notes add that Intervals, which split a long task into focus and break blocks, are part of Pro.

So if you tend to open the app, read the plan and then wander off, Tiimo's self-starting timer is the firmer nudge. For the other half of that problem, read how to stay focused.

When the day goes off plan

Most plans look great at 8am and terrible by 3pm. What counts is how fast you can clear up.

Structured's answer is Replan. Its rescheduling page says Replan brings back unfinished tasks from earlier days, and you swipe each one: done, deleted, moved to another day or sent to the inbox. It needs Pro and isn't on Android or the web yet. Without Pro, you drag tasks to a new time, or back to the inbox, one at a time.

Tiimo spreads the job over two places. Reschedule tasks, in the Today tab's menu, lets you pick the tasks you want and move them to another day. For bigger messes, tell the co-planner your plans changed and it rebuilds the rest of the day.

Calendars, and getting your data out

With Pro, Structured pulls events from Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and Outlook onto the timeline, says its import page, and tasks from Apple Reminders into the inbox. Other to-do apps, Todoist among them, can't come in. It's also one-way. Its export page says tasks made in Structured never show up in Google or Apple Calendar, and two-way sync is on its roadmap. On Apple devices you can export everything as a JSON file, but there's no PDF or spreadsheet export.

Tiimo's calendar guide connects one Google calendar or several, and they show on every device. iCloud calendars come in on iPhone and the web but not yet on Android. Outlook takes a detour: add it to Google Calendar first, then bring it in from there. The Pro offer on Tiimo's own pages lists syncing your personal calendars as one of the things Pro adds.

When most of your day is meetings other people book, you want a planner built on top of a work calendar, and Akiflow vs Sunsama compares two of them.

Moods, streaks and looking back

Tiimo checks in with you. Its notifications guide describes Review today, a daily check-in on iPhone at a time you choose, which stays up until you finish it. A Review your week reminder arrives on Sundays. Tiimo's mood page logs how you feel through the day and can put it next to sleep and activity data from Apple Health. Then there are streaks, which give out trophies for every session and every task you finish, and like the mood log they work on iPhone only.

Structured leaves all that out on purpose. There are no streaks and no percentages of finished tasks, its stats page says, because it wants planning "without pressure or judgment". What you get instead is the Energy Monitor, a free tool made with the Dutch institute Breinstraat. Each task gets energy points, and you can see the day's load against the energy you have.

Neither choice is wrong. If a streak brings you back each morning, Tiimo wins. If one broken streak makes you avoid the app for a week, Structured's quiet timeline is the safer bet.

A planner runs the day, and a short look back runs the week. In ActivityTracker you write your weekly reflection, and the Reflection Coach reads all your past ones when you ask it to help set a focus for this week.

Sharing with family

Tiimo shares inside one account. Its customisation guide lets you add a profile for a partner, a child or a carer, each with its own schedule, and the App Store listing allows up to five. Apple's Family Sharing works for Tiimo too, but not for a plan bought on Google Play or the web.

Structured shares the purchase instead. Its Family Sharing page says a Pro subscription or the lifetime purchase can be shared with your Family Sharing group at no extra cost, as long as you bought it on the App Store.

Try both in one week

Both are free to install, so let one real week decide. Put the same three days into each app, with the routine you keep skipping among them. Then keep score:

Minutes spent building the plan.
Blocks you started on time.
Minutes spent fixing the day once it broke.

Made-up example: Lena is in her second year at university. She has lectures on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, a cafe shift on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and a 7am swim she keeps skipping.

She starts with Structured's free version on her iPhone. On Sunday night the lectures, both shifts and three study blocks go on the timeline in ten minutes, each in its own colour. Three days in, she has dragged two study blocks to later slots, and the day still reads clearly.

The swim is the snag. She adds it again for each morning, because repeating tasks are Pro, and her lecture timetable stays in Google Calendar, since importing it is Pro too.

On Thursday she installs Tiimo's free version. Its countdown starts the moment her 4pm study block begins, and that gets her off the sofa more often than a plain alert did. But she plans at night on a Windows laptop, and Tiimo's web app is Pro.

By Sunday she has her answer. She buys Structured's lifetime Pro, because she plans at the laptop and wants the swim to repeat on its own. Had the countdown mattered more than the laptop, she'd have started Tiimo's yearly trial instead.
