- Not for you if you use a computer, as it is phones only
- Watch out: tasks are stored on the phone with no sync mentioned
- Watch out: the Pro trial length is not stated, and Google Play shows a $5.99 to $34.99 range with no period
Pick Tiimo if
- Fits if you have ADHD or autism and a plain list doesn't hold your attention
- Works for families, since Pro holds up to five profiles on one subscription
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, as it's phone apps only with limited AI chats and no calendar import
- Skip it if you're on Android and want the AI Co-planner, which is on iOS and the web only
- Not for you if you want the price before you sign up, because it's only shown at checkout
- Watch out: the 7-day trial comes only with the yearly plan, and monthly is charged right away
- Skip it if you use Windows or an Intel Mac, as the Mac app needs macOS 15 and an M1 chip or later
How we grade them
| 2.4GPADayBoostFair | 2.4GPATiimoFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CThe lowest in-app price is $5.99, the middle of daily planners, but the Google Play listing gives no billing period. | CTiimo publishes no price list at all. The US App Store shows Pro purchases from $7.00 to $54.00 without saying which are months and which are years, so there's no figure to set against the $6 a month a typical planner asks. |
| Free plan and trial | BThe timeline, Inbox, tasks and reminders are free, which a person could live on. | CFree is phone apps only: basic planner, to-do list, focus timer, 1 profile and a limited number of AI chats. The web planner and calendar import both need Pro, and the 7-day trial comes only with the yearly subscription. |
| Features | COne timeline, time blocks, reminders and focus blocks do the basics, but repeating tasks and the week view are Pro. | CA drag-and-drop colour timeline, a to-do tab, a visual countdown, mood check-ins, and calendars pulled in from Apple, Google and Outlook. But the listing's own notes show the holes: the AI Co-planner, which is half the pitch, isn't on Android, and calendar import is a Pro feature. |
| Ease of use | BA phone app you install and start using with no account and nothing to set up, and no store rating on record. | B4.59 from about 20,600 App Store ratings, which clears our B line and just misses the A. You can type or even say what's on your mind and the Co-planner turns it into steps with times on them. |
| Platforms and integrations | CiPhone and Android only, with no web, Mac or Windows version. | BiPhone, Android, a Mac app and a web planner, with Apple, Google and Outlook calendars coming in. But there's no Windows app, the Mac one wants macOS 15 and an M1 chip or later, and the web planner needs Pro. |
| Best for | a phone planner on one timeline | visual planning for ADHD and autistic brains |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
