Tiimo review: the visual day, done properly
Tiimo is the visual planner most ADHD app lists reach for first. Here is what the rubric says about it.
Every score on this page comes from the same published rubric. how we score
What it is
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.

Questions people actually ask
Is Tiimo good for ADHD?
Yes, and unusually so by design: it was built with neurodivergent users from the start. Visual timelines, routine support, and forgiving defaults are the draw; the subscription is the honest objection.
