What does Tiimo do better?
- Visual routines. Tiimo turns your day into a color-coded visual schedule with drag-and-drop tasks, designed to make time easier to see. Planifai has no visual timeline.
- Widgets. Your key tasks and timers stay on the Home Screen or Lock Screen. Planifai has no widgets.
- Built for neurodivergent people. Tiimo's listing says it was co-designed with ADHD and autism experts, and it adds neuroinclusive courses and a community hub. Planifai is a general planner.
- Family profiles. Tiimo lets you share up to 5 profiles with family. Planifai is single-user.
- A web version. Tiimo Pro includes access to Tiimo on the web, per its listing. Planifai has no web app.
- Recognition. Tiimo's listing cites iPhone App of the Year 2025 and shows about 20,800 ratings on the US App Store (4.6 average, checked 13 Oct 2026). Planifai is new, with only a handful of ratings.
Where does Planifai differ?
- Planning happens in a chat. Type "dentist on Thursday at 10" or "move my 3pm meeting to tomorrow" and the AI fills in the event or task for you to confirm. You can also tap to create things by hand.
- Free, with no in-app purchases. The App Store lists no in-app purchases for Planifai (checked 13 Oct 2026), so the AI chat isn't capped behind a Pro plan.
- Calendar views. Day, week and month views with recurring, color-coded events, next to a task list with notes and due dates.
- A focus timer and weekly analytics: start a focus session, then see 30-day trends and a weekly overview.
- No account needed: you can start as a guest, and calendar and tasks work offline.
Who shouldn't switch to Planifai?
Planifai is probably not for you if:
- · Visual routines are what keep you on track.
- · You want widgets, a visual timer on your Lock Screen or a web version.
- · You plan for several people in the family.
- · You're on Android: Planifai is iPhone and iPad only.
Verdict
Tiimo is the more complete tool if you want visual routines, widgets and family profiles, and you're happy to pay for Pro. Planifai is the free option if what helps you most is getting the day out of your head with a sentence.

FAQ
People also ask.
Is there a free alternative to Tiimo?
+
Tiimo has a free version itself: a basic planner, limited AI chats and one profile, according to its listing. Full features need Tiimo Pro. Planifai is free with no in-app purchases (App Store, checked 13 Oct 2026), AI chat included. Structured and Apple Calendar with Reminders are other no-cost starting points.
How much is Tiimo Pro?
+
On 13 Oct 2026 the US App Store listing showed Tiimo Pro in-app purchases between $7.00 and $54.00, with "Tiimo Pro" at $54.00 first in the list. The listing also mentions a 7-day trial on the yearly plan. Prices vary by country and offer, so check the listing in your own App Store before subscribing.
Does Tiimo have AI?
+
Yes. Tiimo's listing describes an AI co-planner that helps you create, prioritize and plan tasks, with limited AI chats on the free version. Planifai's AI is a chat that creates and edits events and tasks from plain language, which you confirm before they're saved.
Is Planifai designed for ADHD like Tiimo?
+
Not in the same way. Tiimo says it was co-designed with ADHD and autism experts and builds its whole interface around visual routines. Planifai is a general planner whose ADHD angle is low friction: you plan with a sentence instead of a form. Neither app is a medical tool, and if visual routines keep you on track, Tiimo is the closer fit.
Does Planifai have a visual timer or widgets like Tiimo?
+
Planifai has a focus timer inside the app, but no Home Screen or Lock Screen widgets and no visual timeline. Tiimo has both.
