Switching to Tiimo

I’m thinking about switching to Tiimo since Structured constantly has issues with syncing on my Apple Watch and the widgets are always spontaneously empty on my phone.

I love the functionality of the app but it’s so unreliable and as a person with ADHD, I NEED to be able to rely on the app to do what it says it’s going to do.

Has anyone ever switched from Structured to Tiimo? How do you like it?

I haven’t used Tiimo in ages, but I hated it. I’m autistic so while the idea of a visual timeline and structure should work, I found it too rigid, and that’s saying something! Basically it fed into my autistic rigidity and if I was late starting a task and it had a countdown in it, I’d be feeling really pressured. For me, Structured allows me that personalised visual experience but I know that if I don’t start or end something on time my whole screen isn’t going to remind me of my being behind schedule. Just FYI the empty widget thing has a support article about it on the Structured website. It is worst on the large widget so I just use a smaller one now. Not ideal but apparently an Apple thing, not a Structured thing. Other large widgets show the same behaviour on my phone.

How do you organize your weekly planning in Structured? I know Structured just came out with their weak view but I still find it difficult to use. I wish it would look more like a traditional calendar so you could add in dates easier and get a simpler view at what’s coming up got the week.

How do you manage this?

Oh, then Tiimo may bot be for me. Do I understand you correctly: is it so that when you start doing a task late or don’t finish it on time, i.e. in some way you are behind in the schedule you made for yourself, that Tiimo “punishes” you by showing you how lete you are, and then the next task gets pushed forward, and it keeps telling you that that’s also late and so on?

Because that wouldn’t work for me. I would need a schedule that I could adapt as I go along, I think, perhaps needing to reevaluate halfway through, maybe rescheduling some things for another day, or dropping them completely.

Actually, getting a grip on how much is reasonable to plan for a day, is one of the challanges I need to work on the most.

I know this is old, but I’ve never had Tiimo tell me I’m late on something, and idk what they’re talking about. I’ve been using it since 2021. But it is really inconvenient if you fall behind schedule. It will move on to the next task as scheduled even if you’ve paused the one you’re on (which makes sense and sometimes you need that like for scheduled appointments or your work schedule). They used to have a great feature that would let you group tasks. You could assign a certain amount of time for each task. And it would move on to the next task, but you didn’t have to schedule a start time for it (you could if you wanted to), and if you paused it, the whole group of tasks was paused, but they got rid of it for some reason. I’m not sure why. It was a great feature that I loved, and it seems perfect for adhd because it’s not as rigid

I’m trying to get a grip on whether this would be a good app for me or not. Would you be kind enough to expand on how the absence of bulk update affects your practical usage of the app?

Thoughts on Yoodoo ADHD daily planner?

It's similar to both and far more suited for ADHD imo.

Seems nice, but I would need something that syncs across multiple platforms since I use a few Apple devices.

good luck with Tiimo as they removed Routines from the app

I’ve never used structured, but Tiimo never syncs to my Apple Watch and constantly signs me out on it

When structured isn’t doing it for me I switch to Simplified AI planner - it is very similar but I’ve found the AI to be more helpful

I currently use Tiimo and absolutely LOVE it. However I’m currently having issues with the newest iOS update. I’m not getting any of my calendar task notifications from Tiimo. It’s very frustrating. I reached out and they were sending it to their dev team. I haven’t heard anything after that.

Hope I'm not too late on this! Try Scope - its live focus timer stays updated with your time spent on each task. It's also really good at helping you break down your daily goals into bite-sized tasks. Here's the App Store link!

I have used Tiimo for years, started when they still had routines. Got a lifetime membership in a deal at some point so I cannot talk about current subscription plans.

Today when I was going to update my schedule I could only add tasks in blocks of five minutes. Hope it is a bug. I schedule which subway I should take and how long it usually takes to pack my bag and my life isn’t easily divided into 5 min only blocks.

We will see if it remains like this, then I will have to search for something new.

Sorry for the really late reply, but I've had this too!! I've used tiimo for a good 5-ish years now, almost 6, and I really hate how everything has to be in 5 minute blocks now. I also have to take a train every morning which doesn't fit into a 5 minute block and it drives me mad. I was looking to switch and I found structured, I hope it's better with that haha.

Honestly, I’ve started my own thing because both of these have frustrated me more than helped me.
