Tiimo vs Structured: which visual daily planner fits you (2026)
Tiimo vs Structured, compared from first-party pages in August 2026: platforms, free tiers, prices, AI, calendars, MCP, streaks, and who should pick which.
First, the bias. I build Reassign, a 24-hour circular day planner, which competes with both of these apps. This page is still mostly about them, because Tiimo versus Structured is the comparison people actually search, and most of the pages that answer it were written by neither user nor builder. Every claim below about Tiimo or Structured comes from that vendor’s own site, help centre or store listing, checked on 19 August 2026, and where I could not confirm something first-party I say so instead of filling it in. Where this page and their pages disagree, theirs win.
Second, the short answer. Tiimo is the neurodivergent-first planner: routines with icons, a visual countdown that lives on your watch and lock screen, an AI co-planner that reshuffles the day, and streaks with trophies if that helps you. Structured is the clean timeline of blocks: an inbox for the things with no time yet, a large free tier, a cheap Pro with a lifetime option, calendar import, and an MCP server so Claude or ChatGPT can add and move tasks. One is a guide. The other is a sheet of paper that stays out of your way.
Both draw the day as a vertical strip that scrolls. That is a fact about shape, not a complaint, and it matters at the end.
Tiimo vs Structured: the comparison table
Everything here was read on 19 August 2026 from the vendor’s own pages. Platform notes are theirs, not mine.
| Tiimo | Structured | |
|---|---|---|
| Platforms | iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, Android, web. The App Store listing adds Mac (Apple silicon) and Apple Vision. | iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple Vision, Android 11+, web at web.structured.app. No Windows download; the help centre points Windows users at the web version. |
| Free tier | “Basic planner, limited AI chats, 1 profile” (App Store listing). Free is “on iOS and Android apps only - web app not included” (Tiimo FAQ). | Timeline, all-day and inbox tasks, subtasks, notes, icons, colour coding, drag and drop, sync, app colour on all platforms; timeline views on iOS and web; widgets and the Energy Monitor on iOS and Android; Cycle Season on iOS. |
| Pro adds | Calendar integration (Google and iCal), sync across phone, desktop, tablet and watch, up to five profiles, unlimited AI, personalisation, and the web app itself. | Structured AI, Calendar Import, Reminders Import, recurring tasks, Replan, custom notifications, custom colour palette, premium icons. Web gets four of the eight; Android lacks Reminders Import and Replan. |
| Price model | Monthly or yearly subscription. No headline number on tiimoapp.com; local price at checkout. 7-day trial on the yearly plan only. | Monthly, yearly, or one-off lifetime. Help centre prints US$6.99 a month, US$29.99 a year, US$99.99 lifetime, and says price depends on region and currency. 3-day trial that converts to paid unless cancelled. |
| AI | Co-planner: breaks tasks into steps, estimates time, “reshuffles the day for you”. On iOS and web only, per Tiimo’s AI page. Limited chats free, unlimited on Pro. | Structured AI creates, edits, deletes and reschedules tasks by text or voice. Replan sweeps yesterday’s unfinished tasks. Both Pro; AI not on web; Replan not on Android or web. |
| Calendar | Import: Google on all platforms, iCloud on iOS and web, Outlook via Google. Pro. Write-back not confirmed first-party. | Import only, Pro. “There is no two-way sync.” Imported events cannot be moved inside Structured. |
| MCP | None first-party. A community server and a public feedback request exist. | Yes: mcp.structured.app/mcp. ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, OpenCode. Tasks only. Free except recurring tasks. |
| Streaks / gamification | Streaks with trophies “every session you show up” and “every task you complete”. iOS only. | None that I could find in the free versus Pro article, the feature pages or the store listings. |
| Languages | 23 on the App Store listing. | 28 on the App Store listing; the homepage says 30+. |
| Watch / widgets | watchOS app. Widgets, Live Activities and Dynamic Island, iOS only. | Apple Watch app. Widgets on iOS and Android, Live Activities on iOS. |
Two things in that table surprised me and are worth flagging before the prose. Tiimo’s free tier is phone only: the web planner is a Pro feature by Tiimo’s own FAQ. And Structured’s focus timer is free on iOS but the Pomodoro intervals inside it are Pro, and the timer is not on Android or Structured Web yet. Both of those change which app is free for you, depending on where you sit.
Five real differences
1. Who each one was built for
Tiimo says it plainly. Its App Store listing invites you to join the people who use it as “their neurodivergent-friendly planner”, says it was “Co-designed with ADHD/Autism experts”, and its resource hub is written for ADHD and autism first, with everyone else welcome. The design follows: big icons, colours, a countdown you can feel, prompts through transitions, and a daily review that “catches anything you didn’t finish”.
Structured names ADHD too, on its Play Store listing, but it positions itself as a planner for anyone with a busy day. It reads as a general tool that happens to be kind to ADHD brains, rather than a tool made for them. That is not a criticism. Some people want an app that treats them as a person with a calendar, not a diagnosis, and Structured is that app.
2. Is Tiimo free, and is Structured free?
Structured’s free tier is one of the largest in the category. Its help centre lists timeline tasks, all-day tasks, inbox tasks, subtasks, notes, icons, colour coding, drag and drop and sync as free on iOS, Android and web, with timeline views on iOS and web and widgets and the Energy Monitor on iOS and Android. You can plan a whole life on Structured and never pay.
Tiimo’s free tier is a starting point. Its App Store listing describes it as “Basic planner, limited AI chats, 1 profile”, and its freemium article lists “Visual planner, focus timer, anytime activities, and even limited access to AI features”. Its FAQ adds that the free version is “on iOS and Android apps only - web app not included”. If you plan at a desk, free Tiimo does not reach the desk.
3. What Tiimo Pro and Structured Pro cost
Structured’s help centre prints its US pricing: “Monthly US$ 6.99, Yearly US$ 29.99, Lifetime US$ 99.99”, and adds that the price “depends on your region, your currency, and the purchasing power of your region”. The lifetime option is the unusual part. Buy it once and the help centre says it “grants you access to all existing and all upcoming Structured Pro features forever”. The trial is three days and converts to paid unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
Tiimo prints no number on its own site. Its FAQ says you can “pay monthly or save by subscribing for a full year at a discounted price” and that “App prices may vary slightly by location. Your local price will be shown in the App Store / Google Play / web (Paddle) at checkout.” The US App Store listing shows ten Pro purchase entries between $7.00 and $54.00 with no term attached to any of them, so I am not printing one as the price. Two terms worth knowing: “The 7 day trial is only available when purchasing a yearly subscription”, and on a monthly plan “the charge will occur right away”.
I cannot tell you which is cheaper for you without your store in front of me. I can tell you that Structured is the only one of the two that publishes a US price and the only one with a lifetime purchase.
4. What the AI does, and where an agent can reach
Tiimo’s AI lives inside the app as a co-planner. Its own words: “Tiimo’s AI builds step-by-step plans and estimates time for you”, and “Running late or low on energy? Your co-planner reshuffles the day for you.” That last sentence is the one that matters for ADHD: at 2pm, with the plan already broken, the drags to rebuild it by hand are the work you have least capacity for. It is “currently available on iOS and web app only”, with limited chats free and unlimited on Pro.
Structured’s AI is two features. Structured AI is “capable of editing existing tasks in your timeline and inbox”, plus creating, deleting and rescheduling by text or voice, on Pro and “not available on Structured Web yet”. Replan is a swipe through yesterday’s unfinished tasks: check off, delete, reschedule or send to the inbox, on Pro and not on Android or web yet.
Then there is the thing Structured has and Tiimo does not: an MCP server. Structured’s help centre gives the server address (mcp.structured.app/mcp), a sign-in by 6-digit email code, and seven supported clients: ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Google Antigravity, Gemini CLI and OpenCode. The agent can “view your schedule”, “create tasks”, “update tasks”, “complete tasks” and “delete tasks”, and only recurring tasks need Pro. If you live in a chat window and want your planner reachable from it, that is a real, documented difference. Tiimo has no first-party server; what exists is a community tiimo-mcp and a request titled “Make a way to integrate this with Claude” on Tiimo’s feedback board.
5. Streaks, or none
Tiimo ships Streaks. Its product page says “Every session you show up in Tiimo and every task you complete earns you trophies”, and frames them as “soft prompts and moments of delight”. They are iOS only today.
Structured, as far as I can find, ships nothing of the kind. There is no streak counter in its free versus Pro article, its feature pages or its store listings.
Reasonable people split on this. A trophy is genuinely motivating for a lot of people, and Tiimo’s version is gentle by design. For others, a missed week becomes a number they owe, and the owed number is the reason the app stays closed. That is one of the three reasons ADHD planners get abandoned around week three. Know which person you are before you let the answer to this question decide the app.
What is the same
Worth saying, because comparison pages tend to invent differences. Both apps:
- Draw the day as a vertical timeline that scrolls, with icons and colours per block, and both offer more than the single day (Tiimo’s week and month views on the web planner; Structured’s timeline views on iOS and web).
- Have a focus timer. Tiimo’s is on every platform. Structured’s is free on iOS, with Pomodoro and Deep Focus intervals on Pro, and not on Android or web yet.
- Import calendars one way, behind Pro. Structured says outright that “there is no two-way sync” and that “It is not possible to change the time, day, or notes of an imported event.” Tiimo calls its feature calendar import, and I could not find a first-party sentence about write-back, so I am treating it as one-way until Tiimo says otherwise.
- Break tasks into steps. Tiimo has checklists and an AI subtask generator; Structured has subtasks and notes, free.
- Have an energy layer of some kind. Structured’s Energy Monitor, free on iOS and Android, has you rate how costly a task is and totals it. Tiimo has a mood tracker beside its plan (I did not re-check its platform gate for this page) and its resource hub covers energy budgeting. Neither predicts when your energy will arrive; both ask you.
- Are further along on iOS than anywhere else. Tiimo’s Streaks, widgets, Live Activities and co-planner all carry “iOS only” or “iOS and web only” notes. Structured’s help centre says the Android app “is still in its early stages of development” and that “not all Pro features from iOS are available on Android yet”. If you are on Android, read both apps’ platform notes before you read anything else.
Who should pick Tiimo
- Your day breaks at routines and transitions, not at planning. You know what to do; you lose the thread between things.
- You want the plan on your wrist and your lock screen, with a countdown you can glance at without opening anything.
- You want an AI co-planner that reshuffles a slipped day for you, and you are on iOS or at the web planner where it lives.
- Trophies help you. No shame in it. Tiimo’s Streaks are built for you and nobody else in this comparison ships them.
- You want a tool that was built for a neurodivergent brain first, and says so.
Read the terms twice, though: the free tier is phone only, and the trial rides on the yearly plan.
Who should pick Structured
- You want a clean timeline of blocks and an inbox for the rest, and nothing that talks to you.
- You want most of it free, on iOS, Android and the web, and you might never pay.
- If you do pay, you want it cheap or once: the help centre’s US figures are $6.99 a month, $29.99 a year, $99.99 for life.
- You want a planner your AI assistant can reach. Structured’s MCP server is documented for seven clients and it is free except recurring tasks.
- You are on Windows and want a browser tab, not a phone. Structured Web is free; Tiimo’s web planner is Pro.
Read the platform table, though: Structured AI, Replan and the focus timer are not on the web yet, and Replan is not on Android.
Where Reassign fits
Short, because this is not the page for it. Reassign is mine, and it answers a different failure mode from either app above.
Tiimo and Structured both draw the day as a line, and a line has to scroll: the hours above and below the screen are out of sight while you work inside the one you are in. That is fine if your problem is the next thing. If your problem is the whole day, if the evening keeps turning up before you have looked at it, then a longer or friendlier line does not fix it. Reassign puts all 24 hours on one ring, so the evening stays in view the whole time you are working through the morning, and that ring is free. That is why a day is drawn round, and it is the entire pitch.
It is also a web app rather than a native one, English only, with no watch face and no streaks by design, and I have written the head-to-heads honestly rather than repeat them here: Tiimo versus a round planner and Structured versus a round planner. If neither of the two apps above shows you a day you recognise at 3pm, read one of those. If one of them does, you do not need us.
How to decide in one evening
Do not read more comparisons, including this one twice.
Install both. Both are free to install and both free tiers are real, so this costs nothing. Put tomorrow into each, the whole thing including the boring parts, before you sleep. Then set two alarms: one for the first transition of the morning, one for 3pm.
At the morning alarm, ask: did the app get me from one thing to the next, or did I have to open it and think? That is Tiimo’s job, and if it did it and Structured did not, that is a real answer.
At 3pm, after something has slipped, open both again and ask: can I fix this in under a minute, and does it cost me anything to look at what is left? Structured’s inbox and Tiimo’s co-planner answer that question differently, and one of them will suit how you recover.
Then decide on the free tier before you decide on Pro. Structured’s free tier reaches the desk; Tiimo’s does not. If free is enough, you are done. If it is not, Structured’s help centre will tell you the US price and Tiimo’s store page will tell you yours, and neither of them needs my number in the way.
Both are good apps. Both are good lines. Pick the one whose failure mode is yours, and take one evening to find out which that is.
Frequently asked
- Tiimo or Structured, which should I pick?
- Pick Tiimo if your day falls apart at routines and transitions and you want the app to hold your hand through them: icons, a visual countdown on the watch and lock screen, an AI co-planner that reshuffles the day, and streaks if trophies motivate you. Pick Structured if you want a clean timeline of blocks and an inbox, want most of it free, and want the paid tier to be cheap or a one-off lifetime purchase. Both are vertical timelines, so if your problem is losing the whole day rather than the next hour, neither shape fixes that, and a 24-hour dial is a different answer. Checked against both vendors' own pages on 19 August 2026.
- Which is better for ADHD, Tiimo or Structured?
- Tiimo has been a neurodivergent-first planner from the beginning, says so on its App Store listing, and its resource hub is written for ADHD and autism. Structured names ADHD on its Play Store listing but positions itself as a planner for anyone. In practice the better one is the one whose failure mode matches yours: Tiimo for routines that collapse and transitions that get missed, Structured for a plan you never wrote down because writing it felt like work. If guilt mechanics push you away from an app, note that Tiimo ships streaks and trophies on iOS and Structured does not, as far as its published feature lists show.
- Is Structured free?
- Yes, and the free tier is large. Structured's help centre lists timeline tasks, all-day tasks, inbox tasks, subtasks, notes, icons, colour coding, drag and drop, sync, and the timeline views on iOS and web as free. Structured Pro adds Structured AI, Calendar Import, Reminders Import, recurring tasks, Replan, custom notifications, a custom colour palette and premium icons. The same help centre prints US prices of $6.99 a month, $29.99 a year, or $99.99 once for lifetime, and says the price depends on your region and currency, so check your own store.
- Is Tiimo free?
- There is a free version, but it is smaller than Structured's and it does not include the web app. Tiimo's App Store listing describes the free version as a basic planner, limited AI chats and one profile, and Tiimo's FAQ says the web app is one of the premium features. Tiimo Pro adds calendar integration, sync across devices including the watch, up to five profiles, and unlimited AI. Tiimo prints no headline price on its own site; it says your local price shows at checkout in the App Store, Google Play or its web store, and the 7-day trial applies to the yearly plan only.
- Does either app have a web app?
- Both do, on different terms. Structured Web at web.structured.app is free to use, needs a Structured Cloud account, and carries fewer features than iOS: no notifications, widgets, energy monitor, Structured AI, Reminders import or Replan yet. Tiimo's web planner has day, week and month views and its AI chat, but Tiimo's FAQ says the web app requires an active trial or subscription, so on the free plan Tiimo is phone only. Neither vendor ships a Windows app; Structured's help centre points Windows users at the web version.
- Do Tiimo and Structured sync with Google Calendar?
- Both import Google Calendar, both behind the paid tier, and neither writes back. Structured's help centre says imported events cannot have their time, day or notes changed in Structured, and that there is no two-way sync. Tiimo names its feature calendar import as well, imports Google on every platform and iCloud on iOS and web, and routes Outlook through Google; I could not find a first-party sentence about writing changes back, so treat it as one-way until Tiimo says otherwise. If two-way sync is the thing you need, ask each vendor directly before you pay.
