Free Alternative to Tiimo: 4 Honest Options (and What Tiimo Does Better)

If you're looking for a free alternative to Tiimo, the most useful options are: Done! (habits and anti-procrastination, 100% free with no ads, with a 2-minute timer and a bad-day mode), the free version of Structured (a visual timeline for your day), the Goblin Tools website (breaks tasks into steps, free in your browser), and paper, with a routine chart on the wall. None of them does everything Tiimo Pro does. Tiimo is a very well-made visual planner designed for neurodivergent people, and it deserves its reputation. The catch is that a lot of its features are paid. Below: what's free in Tiimo and what each alternative offers, with data checked on 10/15/2026.

What is Tiimo?

Tiimo is a Danish visual planning app built with people who have ADHD and autism in mind. According to its official site, it offers a visual timeline with colors and icons, an AI planning assistant that breaks tasks into steps, a focus timer with a visual countdown, mood tracking, to-do lists, and widgets, syncing across phone, tablet, watch, and browser. Its iPhone store listing cites the iPhone App of the Year 2025 award and more than 4 million downloads.

What's free in Tiimo and what's paid?

Checked on 10/15/2026 on the app's official iPhone store listing (U.S. storefront) and on the Tiimo FAQ:

• Free: a basic planner, limited AI chats, and 1 profile.
• Tiimo Pro: the full AI assistant, visual schedule, lists, focus timer, calendar and reminders sync, widgets, shared profiles (up to 5), and courses.
• Browser version: only with an active trial or subscription, according to the FAQ.
• Price: the U.S. listing showed Tiimo Pro in-app purchase options from $7.00 to $54.00, depending on the plan and period. The FAQ says the 7-day free trial applies to the yearly plan.
• Ads: the official description says the app is ad-free.

So you can use Tiimo for free, but what stands out most about it (the AI and the visual timer) is in Pro.

4 free alternatives to Tiimo

1. Done! (for habits and for starting what you're stuck on)

What it is: a habit and anti-procrastination app, built for people with ADHD or who identify with that way of working.

Free: everything. No in-app purchases and no ads.

Pros:

• A mini version of each habit and a bad-day button that stops the pressure for that day.
• Work mode: the ugliest task first, with a 2-minute timer, and a ritual to wrap up the workday.
• Times of day for medicine, vitamins, and meals.
• It celebrates what you did instead of nagging about what you didn't.

Cons (honestly):

• No visual day timeline like Tiimo's.
• No AI assistant for breaking down tasks.
• It runs on your phone; there's no browser version.

Best for: people who want to build habits without guilt and need help starting more than drawing up the whole day.

2. Structured, free version (for seeing your day on a timeline)

What it is: a daily planner with a visual timeline. It supports many languages.

Free (iPhone store, U.S., 10/15/2026): a visual timeline with tasks, events, and habits, an inbox for ideas, subtasks with notes, cross-device sync, a Pomodoro timer, and widgets.

Cons: recurring tasks and routines, calendar integration, and AI planning are in Pro (listed at $2.99 to $7.99 per month, $9.99 to $34.99 per year, or $99.99 lifetime).

Best for: people who want the closest thing to Tiimo's look without paying.

3. Goblin Tools (for breaking tasks into steps)

What it is: a set of simple tools made with neurodivergent people in mind. The best known, Magic ToDo, uses AI to break a big task into smaller steps.

Free: the website is free, with no ads or paywalls, according to its official page. The phone apps cost a small amount, and there's an optional Pro subscription.

Cons: it isn't a planner or a habit app; it's a single-purpose tool. The site itself warns that the AI's output can be wrong.

Best for: people who freeze in front of big tasks and want the "break it into steps" feature Tiimo does with AI.

4. Paper on the wall (for making time visible)

What it is: a printed routine chart with morning, afternoon, and evening blocks, in sight on the fridge or next to your desk.

Pros: it costs only the printing, has no notifications pulling you elsewhere, and is always in view. We have a template for adults at Printable Routine Chart for Adults with ADHD (Free).

Cons: it won't remind you at the right time and it doesn't adjust itself.

Best for: people who forget what isn't in front of their eyes.
