People look for Tiimo alternatives for a few different reasons. Tiimo Pro is a subscription, and the free version is deliberately limited. A colour-coded plan for the whole day can be a lot to build, and some ADHD brains set it up beautifully once and then never open it again. Others love the visual timeline and just want more of it for free. The best Tiimo alternative depends on which of those is your reason.
Below are six. The first two are apps we make, 3ThingsPal and DuePal, because each covers a case Tiimo isn't built for. Every pick has its own "best for", and the first section is about what you get from Tiimo itself.
Where Tiimo still wins
Credit first. Tiimo (4.6, 21,000+ ratings) from Tiimo, a Danish company, was built for neurodivergent brains from the start, and it shows. It puts a colour-coded visual schedule, a to-do list with AI priority grouping, an AI co-planner, a calming focus timer, and widgets and Live Activities in one place. It imports Apple, Google and Outlook calendars and runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, Android and the web. It also includes short neuroinclusive courses on productivity and habits, and Pro can be shared across up to five profiles for a family. It's ad-free.
If you want one app to hold your whole day and you actually use it daily, you may not need an alternative at all. For a closer look at how Tiimo stacks up head to head, see Tiimo vs Structured, Tiimo vs Todoist and Inflow vs Tiimo.
Tiimo free vs Pro: what you get and what it costs
According to Tiimo's own FAQ and App Store listing, the free version includes the basic planner, a limited number of AI chats and one profile, and it's available in the iOS and Android apps only. The web planner is a Pro feature.
Tiimo Pro unlocks every feature on every platform you log in to. You can pay monthly or save with a yearly plan. Two details matter before you start:
- The 7-day free trial only applies to the yearly plan. If you choose monthly, you're charged right away.
- The price isn't published on the website. Tiimo says prices vary by location and your local price appears in the App Store, Google Play or its web checkout.
Deleting the app doesn't cancel the subscription; you cancel where you subscribed. App Store refunds go through Apple, and Tiimo says it doesn't refund partly used periods. Apple Family Sharing works for subscriptions bought through the App Store. Tiimo's FAQ doesn't list a student discount.
So is Tiimo Pro worth it? If you plan most days in it, use the AI co-planner and focus timer, or share it with your family, the subscription buys a lot. If you open it in bursts, you're paying for a planner you don't use. A smaller tool you'll open every day is often worth more.
1. 3ThingsPal — when planning the whole day is the part you abandon
3ThingsPal goes the other way from Tiimo. There's no schedule to build. Each morning you pick three things that matter today, and you can't add a fourth. That limit is the feature: it forces the decision before you start, so you're not staring at a full timeline you planned in a burst of optimism yesterday.
Version 6.6 added a new Today screen that shows three open slots and fills with a tap. If you didn't finish yesterday, the leftovers wait at the top of today and you decide whether to bring them over or let them go. When all three are done you close the day with one line and can plan tomorrow's three that evening. Your three things sit on the Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets, in a Live Activity and on Apple Watch, and Siri can tick them off.
It needs no account and has no tracking; your things sync through your own iCloud. The free version gives you three things a day. Premium, as a weekly, yearly or lifetime purchase, adds extras such as themes, custom app icons, premium widgets and a Later list for what doesn't fit today.
Skip it if you need to see the hours of your day laid out in blocks. That's what Tiimo and Structured do. Our 3ThingsPal vs Tiimo comparison goes deeper.
2. DuePal — when hours slip by between the fixed times of your day
Time blindness often isn't about a single task overrunning. It's the gap between fixed points: you look up and the meeting started ten minutes ago. DuePal handles that one job. You set the times of your day once (stand-up at 9:30, lunch at 12:00, pickup at 18:30), and the countdown to the next one is already running whenever you look. When a time arrives, it moves on to the next by itself.
The countdown lives where you already look, in Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, with a heads-up a few minutes before each switch and Snooze and Done on the alert. Version 4.5 lets every due have its own sound. DuePal is free to download with two dues and two countdowns of your own, no ads and no account. Premium adds the Lock Screen Live Activity and Dynamic Island, unlimited dues, alarms that ring in Silent mode, the Apple Watch app and more, as a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time purchase.
Skip it if you want a full planner. DuePal doesn't hold tasks; pair it with a list. For more timers built for ADHD, see the best visual timer apps for ADHD.
3. Structured — a visual timeline with a generous free version
Structured (4.8, 168,000+ ratings) from Structured is the closest thing to Tiimo's visual day, and the most direct Tiimo alternative if the timeline is what you liked. Tasks sit on a drag-and-drop timeline with colours and icons. The free version includes the timeline, an inbox, sub-tasks, a Pomodoro timer, Live Activities, widgets and sync across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac, and Structured is on Android too.
Calendar and Reminders connection, recurring tasks, AI planning and automatic rescheduling of missed tasks are in Structured Pro, sold monthly, yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase, which Tiimo doesn't offer.
Skip it if you need ADHD-specific guidance. Structured is a fast general time-blocker that happens to suit ADHD well.
4. Inflow — when you want to understand your ADHD, not just plan around it
Inflow (4.4, 5,600+ ratings) from Inflow isn't really a planner. It's a CBT-based program: short science-based modules that teach why your brain stalls and what to do about it, an AI companion called Quinn, and live and on-demand body-doubling sessions. It suits people who are newly diagnosed, or think they might have ADHD, and want the "how" behind the diagnosis.
It's free to download with a 7-day trial, and the program sits behind a monthly or annual subscription. We cover its pricing in detail in our Inflow alternatives guide.
Skip it if you already understand your ADHD and just need help getting through today. That's a planner's job, not a course's.
5. TickTick — tasks, calendar, habits and focus timer in one cheaper app
TickTick (4.9, 46,000+ ratings) from TickTick is a full task manager with calendar views, a Pomo focus timer and habit tracking in one app. It isn't built for ADHD the way Tiimo is, and it shows more on screen, but it covers a lot of what people use Tiimo for. The free plan includes 9 lists with up to 99 tasks each, 5 habits, 5 countdowns and basic calendar and widgets. Premium lifts those limits and adds full calendar views and calendar subscriptions; TickTick's own pricing page lists it at US$49.99 a year.
Skip it if long lists make you freeze. TickTick rewards people who enjoy organising.
6. Apple Reminders and Calendar — free and already on your iPhone
Before you subscribe to anything, it's worth trying what you already have. Apple Calendar can hold time blocks for your day, and Reminders handles lists, due times and location reminders, with widgets for both. It's not visual in Tiimo's sense and has no ADHD guidance, but it's free, private and syncs through iCloud.
Skip it if a plain list of text is exactly what you've been ignoring. That's usually why people go looking for Tiimo in the first place.

A dash means it doesn't apply or the app doesn't list it, so we haven't guessed. Details come from each app's App Store listing and website as of October 2026. Free versions change, so check the store page if price is what decides it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Tiimo alternative for ADHD?
It depends on why Tiimo isn't working. If planning a whole visual day is the part you keep abandoning, 3ThingsPal cuts the day down to three things. If hours slip by between fixed times, DuePal counts down to each time of your day on the Lock Screen. If you like Tiimo's visual timeline but want more of it free, Structured is the closest match. If you wanted to understand your ADHD as well as plan around it, Inflow teaches CBT-based skills.
Is there a free Tiimo alternative?
Yes. Structured's free version includes its drag-and-drop visual timeline, an inbox, sub-tasks, a Pomodoro timer, widgets and sync across Apple devices. 3ThingsPal is free to use for three things a day with no account. DuePal is free with two dues and two countdowns. TickTick has a free plan with 9 lists, and Apple Reminders and Calendar are free and already on your iPhone.
What does Tiimo Pro add over the free version?
Tiimo's free version includes the basic planner, a limited number of AI chats and one profile, on the iOS and Android apps only. Tiimo Pro opens every feature on every platform, including the web planner, and is sold monthly or yearly. The 7-day free trial only applies to the yearly plan; a monthly plan is charged right away. Tiimo shows the local price at checkout rather than on its website.
Is Tiimo Pro worth it?
It is worth it if you actually plan your day in Tiimo: you use the visual schedule, the AI co-planner and the focus timer most days, or you share it with family through up to five profiles. It is harder to justify if you open it only on good days. In that case a smaller tool you will use daily, or a free planner, is usually the better spend.
No planner to keep up. Just three things.
Pick three things that matter today. 3ThingsPal keeps them on your Lock Screen and won't let you add a fourth.
