# Tiimo vs Structured: Which Visual Planner Should You Pick? > Tiimo vs Structured: Structured is free with a real Mac app and $99.99 lifetime Pro; Tiimo adds ADHD-first AI task steps, but its free tier is phone-only. By Aditya Jaiswal, founder of NotchOwl. Published 2026-11-12, updated 2026-11-12. Canonical URL: https://www.notchowl.com/blog/tiimo-vs-structured Tiimo vs Structured comes down to how much help you want from your planner. Structured is the better pick if you want a free visual timeline on every device, a real Mac app and a lifetime Pro option; Tiimo is the better pick if you want a planner built around ADHD and autism, with AI that breaks tasks into small timed steps. Both draw your day as a color-coded, drag-and-drop timeline on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android and the web, and both are App Store Editors’ Choice apps. If you plan on a Mac and want today’s plan in view rather than in a window, NotchOwl is a third option, covered near the end. NotchOwl is my own app, so I’m not neutral about that section; the Tiimo and Structured comparison sticks to what each company and the App Store say. Both were checked on their websites, help centers and US App Store listings on November 12, 2026, with US prices as of that date. There are no test results or survey numbers here, and this compares software; it isn’t medical advice. ## The short verdict Pick **Structured** if you want to start free and stay free for a while, you plan on a Mac or Windows as well as your phone, or you’d rather pay once ($99.99 lifetime on the US App Store) than subscribe. Pick **Tiimo** if starting tasks is your hardest problem, you want AI to turn a brain dump into small steps, and you plan mostly on your phone. If you can’t decide, install Structured free and run Tiimo’s free tier on your phone side by side for a week. > Structured (free, with Pro from $2.99 a month or $99.99 lifetime on the US App Store) is the better free visual timeline with a real Mac app, while Tiimo (free on iPhone and Android, Pro priced by location) is the better ADHD planner, with AI that breaks tasks into timed steps. ## Tiimo vs Structured at a glance Table: Tiimo vs Structured compared on price, platforms, ADHD features, calendar sync and Mac support (US, November 2026) | | Tiimo | Structured | | --- | --- | --- | | Made by | tiimo ApS, Copenhagen | unorderly GmbH | | Free tier | Basic planner, to-do list, focus timer, limited AI chats, 1 profile; iOS and Android apps only | Timeline, inbox, subtasks, notifications, widgets, Energy Monitor and sync; every platform | | Paid plan | Tiimo Pro, monthly or yearly; US App Store lists $7.00 to $54.00 | Structured Pro, monthly, yearly or lifetime; US App Store lists $2.99 to $7.99 a month, $9.99 to $49.99 a year, $99.99 lifetime | | Trial | 7 days, yearly plans only | [Includes every Pro feature](https://help.structured.app/en/articles/10668354); length not stated | | iPhone and iPad | iOS and iPadOS 18 or later | iOS and iPadOS 18 or later | | Apple Watch | watchOS 10 or later | watchOS 10 or later | | Android | Yes | Android 11 or later, still gaining features | | Web | Web planner, Pro only | Structured Web, free | | Mac | iPad app (“Designed for iPad”), Apple silicon, macOS 15+ | Mac app, macOS 15+ | | Windows | Web planner | Structured Web | | Visual timeline | Yes, color-coded | Yes, color-coded | | AI | AI Co-Planner: task steps with time estimates, priority grouping | Structured AI (Pro): type, speak or scan a paper list; not on the web | | Focus timer | Yes, free | Yes, with Pomodoro intervals; Apple devices only | | Missed tasks | Not described | Replan (Pro, Apple devices) | | Wellbeing | Mood check-ins and reflection | Energy Monitor | | Calendars | Imports Google and iCloud; Outlook through Google; Apple Calendar sync | Imports Apple, Google and Outlook with Pro; one-way | | Apple Reminders | Sync | Import into the inbox (Pro) | | Stats | Personal insights | None, by design | | Family | Up to 5 profiles | Apple Family Sharing for App Store purchases | | US App Store rating (iPhone) | 4.6 from about 22,000 ratings | 4.8 from about 169,000 ratings | | Awards | iPhone App of the Year 2025, Editors’ Choice | Editors’ Choice | ## Price: Structured is cheaper, and has a lifetime option Structured’s free app is the more generous of the two. Everything that makes it a visual planner (the timeline, the inbox, subtasks, notifications, widgets and sync) is free on every platform, web included. [Structured Pro](https://help.structured.app/en/articles/324674) adds recurring tasks, calendar and Reminders import, Replan, Structured AI and custom notifications. Structured says prices vary by region; the [US App Store listing](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/structured-daily-planner/id1499198946) shows several monthly prices from $2.99 to $7.99, yearly prices from $9.99 to $49.99, and a $99.99 lifetime purchase. Tiimo’s free tier is narrower: a basic planner, the to-do list, the focus timer, limited AI chats and one profile, and only in the iPhone and Android apps. Tiimo Pro unlocks everything on every platform, including the web planner. [Tiimo’s pricing page](https://www.tiimoapp.com/pricing) says prices vary by location and appear at checkout, and the [US App Store listing](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tiimo-to-do-list-planner/id1480220328) shows ten Pro purchases between $7.00 and $54.00 without labeling the billing periods. The 7-day trial only comes with yearly plans, and Tiimo’s FAQ mentions only monthly and yearly plans, with no lifetime purchase. Over several years, Structured’s lifetime option makes it the clear winner on cost. Both support Apple Family Sharing for purchases made through Apple. ## ADHD features: Tiimo goes further Both apps are built around making time visible, which is why they come up so often for ADHD: tasks have lengths, the day has a shape, and an overbooked afternoon looks overbooked. Apple has featured Structured in an App Store collection of apps for managing ADHD, and Tiimo was Apple’s iPhone App of the Year for 2025. Tiimo is built more deliberately around neurodivergent needs. It says it was co-designed with ADHD and autism experts, its AI Co-Planner breaks a big task into steps and estimates how long each takes, its to-do list groups tasks by priority with AI, and mood check-ins help you plan around how you feel. It also has up to 5 profiles, which suits a parent planning with a child. Structured’s strengths are different. The inbox is a good place to drop the thought that arrives mid-task, the Energy Monitor lets you weigh a day’s load against your energy, and Replan (Pro, Apple devices) helps you deal with missed tasks instead of letting them pile up. What Structured doesn’t do is break tasks down for you: you get a clear picture of your day, but you have to decide the steps yourself. If the hardest part of your day is starting, Tiimo is the stronger tool. If it’s seeing how much fits, Structured does that for free. [The best ADHD planner apps](/blog/best-adhd-planner-apps) compares both with nine others. ## Calendar sync and Apple Reminders Neither app is a two-way calendar. Structured imports events from Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and Outlook with Pro, and its help center says it can’t send tasks or events to those calendars yet, though two-way sync is on the roadmap. It can also import Apple Reminders into its inbox. Tiimo’s App Store listing describes sync with Apple Calendar and Reminders, and its [calendar import guide](https://www.tiimoapp.com/faq/calendar-import) covers Google Calendar on iOS, Android and the web and iCloud on iOS and the web, with Outlook and Exchange imported only by connecting them to Google Calendar first. If your work runs on Outlook, that extra step matters. Either way, colleagues won’t see the time you block in your planner. If you need real calendar blocks, look at the calendar-first apps in [the best time blocking apps for Mac](/blog/best-time-blocking-apps-mac). ## Mac, web and Windows support This is the biggest practical difference for anyone who works at a computer. **Structured** has a Mac app in the Mac App Store, listed for Mac alongside iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, that needs macOS 15 Sequoia or later. It has keyboard shortcuts (Command–N for a task, Command–Shift–N for an inbox task, Command–Shift–T for today) and the inbox in a side panel. [Structured Web](https://help.structured.app/en/articles/2050050) is free and runs in any major browser, including on Windows and Linux, though it needs a Structured Cloud account and can’t sync with Apple devices that use iCloud sync. **Tiimo** on a Mac is its iPad app. The Mac App Store marks it Designed for iPad, and it needs an Apple silicon Mac (M1 or later) with macOS 15 or later. Tiimo’s own product pages point desktop users to its web planner, which has daily, weekly and monthly views and the AI Co-Planner, works in any browser, and needs Pro. On an Intel Mac or a Windows PC, the web planner is Tiimo’s only option. So on a computer, Structured is free and native, and Tiimo is paid and web-first. ## AI planning Tiimo’s AI Co-Planner is the more ambitious: it turns a brain dump into tasks, groups them by priority and breaks big tasks into steps with time estimates, and the web planner has it in a chat. The free tier gets limited AI chats, and AI task breakdown is a Pro tool. Structured AI is Pro-only and works on Apple devices and Android but not the web. You type, speak or scan a paper planner, and it creates, edits or deletes tasks on your timeline. Structured’s help center says requests go to its servers and OpenAI’s and may be kept for up to 30 days. Structured also has an [MCP server](https://help.structured.app/en/articles/9872962), so ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor can read and change your schedule from a chat. ## Which should you pick? ### Pick Tiimo if… - **Starting is the hard part.** AI task breakdown makes the first step small. - **You want a planner designed for neurodivergent brains**, with mood check-ins, gentle reminders and neuroinclusive courses. - **You plan for a family.** Up to 5 profiles in one subscription. - **You live on your iPhone and Apple Watch**, and a computer is secondary. ### Pick Structured if… - you want the timeline, inbox, widgets and sync free on every platform; - you plan on a Mac or Windows PC, where Structured has a real Mac app and a free web app; - you’d rather pay once ($99.99 lifetime on the US App Store); - you like to capture tasks into an inbox and place them on the timeline later. ### Pick neither if… You need blocks on a shared work calendar, because both import events without writing to your calendar. Teams are also out: Structured can’t share a schedule with other users yet, and [Tiimo’s FAQ](https://www.tiimoapp.com/faq) describes family sharing as one account with separate profiles, or Apple Family Sharing for the subscription. And if you want the plan in view while you work on a Mac, both live in a window that other windows bury. ## Where NotchOwl fits on a Mac If you’ve tried Tiimo or Structured and found that the plan you made in the morning vanishes behind your browser by ten, the problem may be where the plan lives. NotchOwl, the Mac app I make, keeps today’s plan in the MacBook notch. Hover over the notch or press Option–N, and today’s tasks, a focus timer, a daily notepad and the next two weeks of calendar events drop down over whatever app you’re using. ![Plan your day in Order only mode, three tasks in order with no times or reminders, on a MacBook](/images/blog/en/plan-order-only-cinematic.jpg) *Order only puts today’s list in order without giving tasks times or reminders.* It covers some of the same ground in a smaller way. Plan your day fits today’s untimed tasks, most important first, into the free time around your events and gives each a reminder once you click Apply, or, in Order only mode, simply puts the list in order. When a reminder comes due, the notch opens with a chime and Snooze and Done buttons, so it finds you instead of waiting in a list. The Events card shows the day’s meetings as blocks, with a Join button for video calls, and Wrap up sends what’s left to tomorrow or the Inbox. ![A reminder coming due in NotchOwl: the notch opens with the task, Snooze and Done](/videos/highlights/live-activity.mp4 "A due reminder opens the notch, with Snooze and Done.") NotchOwl costs $12 once for up to 3 Macs (an early-bird price, normally $39), with lifetime updates and a 7-day money-back guarantee; there is no free tier or trial. It runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 14 Sonoma or later. [Download NotchOwl](/download) or see [what the $12 license includes](/#pricing). ![NotchOwl Events card: week strip, today's meetings as blocks, Design review in black](/images/blog/en/events-day.jpg) *The Events card: the week across the top, today’s meetings and reminders as blocks.* Next to Tiimo and Structured, NotchOwl gives up a lot. It has no visual timeline of your tasks and no AI that breaks tasks into steps. It is Mac-only, with no iPhone, Android, Windows or web app; optional two-way Apple Reminders sync is how tasks reach iPhone and Apple Watch. It reads your calendars but never creates or edits events, and it has no shared or family lists. Some people will be happiest with Tiimo or Structured on the phone and NotchOwl on the Mac: Tiimo syncs with Apple Reminders, Structured Pro imports Reminders into its inbox on Apple devices, and NotchOwl can sync its tasks with Apple Reminders too.

Structured can export your data as a JSON file on Apple devices, and both can import Google Calendar (Structured with Pro), so your events come across without retyping.
