Why I wrote this
I really like Tiimo. But it isn't for everyone, and people usually go looking for something else because they want it cheaper, want more help when the day falls apart, or just want a different style.
Here's what I'd point you to for each. Yoodoo is on the list, so take that one with a pinch of salt.

How to choose
Start with the thing that actually goes wrong in your day.
- Your plan breaks by lunchtime. You need a planner that re-plans with you. That’s why we built Fix my day: one question about what happened, and the rest of the day re-fits around it. Meetings and locked things stay put.
- You can’t start. Something that shrinks the first step helps most. Goblin Tools’ Magic ToDo is great at that, and Yoodoo’s Ask Yoodoo breaks big tasks into tiny steps on your timeline.
- You lose time once you start. A countdown per task (Llama Life) or a focus timer with a reason to stay (Focus Friend, or Yoodoo’s focus timer with the blocker) keeps time visible.
- You want a gentler kind of habit. Finch makes self-care small and kind. Yoodoo’s habits forgive an off day too.
- You’re on Android. Everything on this list works on Android, and so does Tiimo. Check the feature you care about: some, like Structured’s Replan, are Apple-only.
Why people leave Tiimo
People usually love how Tiimo looks. They look elsewhere for three reasons: the price, wanting more help when the day falls apart, or wanting a different style. If the look is what keeps you opening a planner, stay with Tiimo. It’s a good app. If your days need fixing more than drawing, try one of the above. Here’s Yoodoo vs Tiimo side by side.
Switching to Yoodoo
Bring your calendar in, brain dump your lists, and the first time something runs over, try Fix my day. Lite is free for good after the 7-day trial.
Questions
What's the best free alternative to Tiimo?
It depends on what you use Tiimo for. Structured has a good free version with a visual timeline. Yoodoo Lite is free for good, with the Day view, Fix my day and the focus timer. Goblin Tools is free on the web if you mostly need tasks broken into steps. Lunatask has a free plan with time blocking and habits.
Is there a Tiimo alternative for Android?
Yes, several. Yoodoo, Structured, Llama Life, Goblin Tools, Finch, Lunatask, Focus Friend and Amazing Marvin all have Android apps. Tiimo itself relaunched its Android app in May 2026 and says it's still catching up with iPhone. Some features differ between platforms, so check the one you need.
Which Tiimo alternative is best for ADHD?
Several are built with ADHD in mind, including Yoodoo, Llama Life and Goblin Tools. The best one is the one that fixes the part of your day that goes wrong: re-planning, starting, staying focused or remembering. How to choose, above, matches each problem to an app.
Is Yoodoo cheaper than Tiimo?
Not on the yearly plan. On the US App Store, Tiimo Pro is listed at $54 and Yoodoo Pro is $59.99 a year. Both have a free version. Yoodoo's free Lite includes Fix my day and the focus timer.
Can I move my tasks from Tiimo to another app?
There's no direct import between planners that we know of. The quickest way is to connect your calendar so your meetings come across, then type or say your tasks in one go. In Yoodoo that's a
brain dump, and with Pro you can just say it.
