Daily: Day Planner vs Tiimo (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Daily: Day Planner if

• Fits if you want workouts and meals planned around your meetings
• Works for people who want the day's progress on a watch face

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if your phone is older, as the Apple versions need iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or macOS 26 on Apple silicon
• Skip it if you want an App Store install, because Apple builds come through TestFlight and Android through a downloaded APK
• Not for you if you use Windows or a browser, as neither is listed
• Watch out: the roadmap says plans change, so free for everyone is the vendor's current position
• Watch out: weather works from a US ZIP code only

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

Daily: Day Planner

Day arc

Routines, workouts and meals all count toward one arc that fills as you tick them off, shown on the Home Screen and watch face.

Calendar-aware planning

Reads the calendars already on the device without changing them, and moves workouts away from meetings and work hours.

To-dos and routines

Type a to-do with a date and time in plain language, or give it a rough length and Daily finds a free gap.

Spaces and notes

Home, Work and other spaces each hold their own lists, to-dos, routines and notes with checklists and tags.

Training and food ideas

Build a workout week and get a food idea on each meal time. The vendor says there is no calorie logging.

Private journal

One page a day, locked with Face ID, Touch ID or a fingerprint.

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.
