A note on who is writing this
This site belongs to Orbit, a routine app. Orbit does not compete directly with either Tiimo or Structured: both are visual day planners, and Orbit deliberately does not plan days at all. So this is a comparison between two apps we do not make, based on their App Store listings on 10 September 2026. Where the listings are silent, we say so.
What they have in common
Both apps turn your day into something you can see instead of something you have to hold in your head — which is why both are popular with people with ADHD and time blindness. Both show tasks and events in time order, both have focus timers, widgets and Apple Calendar integration, and both are free to download with a paid tier.
The differences are in design philosophy, price and platforms.

Where Tiimo is stronger
- ADHD-first design. Tiimo says it is co-designed with ADHD and autism experts, and it shows: softer colours, icons, and a plan that feels less like a work calendar.
- Planning help. The AI co-planner turns a brain dump into a prioritised plan — useful if the blank day is the problem.
- Families. Up to five profiles, useful for parents managing children's routines alongside their own.
- Recognition. Its listing names it Apple's iPhone App of the Year 2025 and an Apple Design Awards finalist in 2024.
Where Structured is stronger
- A genuinely useful free tier. The timeline, inbox, focus timer, Live Activities and widgets are free.
- Mac. If you plan your day at a computer, Structured's Mac app matters.
- Scale and polish. One of the most-rated planners on the App Store, with a fast, minimal timeline.
- Lifetime option. Structured Pro can be bought as a lifetime purchase, according to its listing.
Who should pick which
- You want to try something free first: Structured.
- You plan at a Mac: Structured.
- You want an ADHD-specific look and feel: Tiimo.
- You want help turning chaos into a plan: Tiimo's AI co-planner.
- You plan for a family: Tiimo.
If neither works for you
If you have tried both and the plan still falls apart, the problem may not be the planner. Planners decide when things happen; they do not get you through a routine once it starts. That is a different kind of app — a routine runner — and it pairs with either planner. Planner vs routine app vs to-do list explains the difference, and Tiimo alternatives and Structured alternatives list the other options.
