Entry by entry

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.

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.
Price

Sunsama

TRIAL FIRST76/100

Sunsama pulls tasks, calendar, and email into one guided daily planning loop. Calm, deliberate, expensive, and entirely dependent on you doing the ritual.

Best for
Professionals whose ADHD tax is the daily "what now" spiral.
Watch out
Premium price; the ritual only pays if you show up to it.

Llama Life

KEEP80/100

Built on one idea: you get one task and a timer, and the rest of the list waits its turn. Playful without being patronizing, with time estimates that add up to an honest "your list ends at 6:40pm". Weak as a system of record; superb as a doing tool next to whatever stores your tasks.

Best for
People whose lists are honest but whose time sense is not.
Watch out
Not a system of record; pair it with wherever tasks live.
Price

Motion

TRIAL FIRST69/100

Motion auto-schedules your tasks into your calendar and reshuffles when the day breaks. Powerful for calendar-heavy work, expensive, and rigid in a way some ADHD brains fight daily.

Best for
Calendar-driven workers drowning in reprioritization.
Watch out
Costs real money and takes real control; some brains fight the machine daily.

Questions people actually ask

Tiimo or Structured for a first planner?

Structured. It reaches a usable visual day faster and costs less. Move to Tiimo when routines, not tasks, are where your days collapse.

Paper planner vs app for ADHD?

Paper wins on zero setup and no notifications; apps win on reminders and capture speed. Many people run both, and that is fine.

Why do my planner apps die by week two?

Setup weight, capture friction, and no forgiveness. Those three are the heaviest criteria in our rubric precisely because of this question.
