Koala For Work

Task breakdown

Work described in your own words comes back as smaller steps sized in minutes, at a size you choose (small, medium or large). Any step can be adjusted.

A day planned to your capacity

Steps are planned across your days up to the deep-work hours you set. Whatever slips is rescheduled by the next morning, and a daily brief opens the day.

Deep-work blocks in your calendar

With Google or Outlook Calendar connected, Koala adds deep-work blocks around meetings, and clears a missed block to find it another time.

Deadline and backlog view

Every action shows its deadline and progress, a deadline that will not fit is flagged early, and the backlog shows how many weeks of work are waiting.

Focus toolkit

The workspace can be set up with timers, checklists, notepads and focus music, choosing only the tools you want to see.

AI assistant and meeting-note connections

Koala connects over MCP so Claude or another AI assistant can read the plan, add work and log what is finished. Granola meeting notes can become actions.

Tiimo

Visual timeline

The day appears as a color-coded timeline with drag-and-drop tasks and custom colors and icons. The web planner adds daily, weekly and monthly views.

AI Co-planner

Type or speak what is on your mind and the Co-planner turns it into tasks, breaks them into steps and estimates how long each takes. Free accounts get limited AI chats.

To-do list

A to-do tab collects tasks that are not yet scheduled. They can be prioritized by hand or by AI suggestion, then dragged into the day.

Focus timer

A visual countdown for the current task. Timers and upcoming tasks also show in widgets, Live Activities and on Apple Watch.

Calendar import

Brings Apple, Google and Outlook calendars into the schedule, and the App Store listing also mentions Apple Reminders. Tiimo lists calendar integration as a Pro feature.

Mood tracking and profiles

Mood check-ins and daily reflections sit alongside the plan. Pro accounts can hold up to five profiles, for example one per family member.
