Entry by entry

Structured

KEEP79/100

The cleanest visual timeline planner on iOS, now cross-platform. Less neurodivergent-specific than Tiimo, faster to start, gentler on the wallet. If Tiimo feels like too much app, start here.

Best for
First-time visual planners who want value in five minutes.
Watch out
Less ADHD-specific than Tiimo; routines are thinner.

Due

KEEP81/100

Reminders that renag every few minutes until you act or reschedule.

Best for
The five things that truly cannot slip.
Watch out
Use for everything and you will hate it by Friday.
Price
one-time $

Streaks

KEEP79/100

Twelve habits, big buttons, Apple-native polish, one-time price.

Best for
iPhone loyalists who want habits without a subscription.
Watch out
Streak-centric by name and nature; repair options exist.
Price
one-time $

one sec

KEEP81/100

Adds a breathing pause before distracting apps open. The friction is the feature: most opens are impulses, and a short delay kills a surprising share of them. Cheap, and among the rare blockers with published research behind the mechanic.

Best for
Doomscroll interruption without going full lockdown.
Watch out
Determined-you can still get through; that is the design, not a flaw.

Tiimo

KEEP80/100

A day you can see beats a list you can ignore. Tiimo turns tasks into a visual timeline with icons, routines, and widgets, and it was designed with neurodivergent users from the start rather than retrofitted. Setup is quick, capture is decent, and the focus timer keeps one thing in front of you. The subscription is the main objection; the free tier is a real trial, not a demo.

Best for
Visual thinkers whose day needs to be seen, not listed.
Watch out
Subscription adds up; heavy list-makers may find it light.

Questions people actually ask

Which iPhone app has the fastest capture?

Due and Voicenotes are the fastest we have seen, but we publish Taps to Capture only after measuring it per protocol.

Do widgets actually help?

Yes, when they remove taps. A widget that only displays information adds a decision instead of removing one.

Is Screen Time enough on iPhone?

It is free and worth switching on, but it is easy to bypass. Pair it with one sec if impulse opens are the problem.
