Tiimo Alternatives 2026: 5 Apps Like Tiimo Reddit Recommends

By one-by.one · Updated November 9, 2026

Five Tiimo alternatives come up in Reddit comments: Structured for a visual timeline, Routinery for step-by-step routines, Todoist for plain lists, Amazing Marvin for ADHD-friendly setups and Focusmate for body doubling. If you would rather not plan the day at all, one-by.one lets your own AI plan it and shows one card at a time.

Best Tiimo alternatives

Structured: the same idea as Tiimo, a day drawn as a timeline. “Less buggy than tiimo,” one user wrote (April 2025). 4.8 stars from 169K ratings on the App Store.
Routinery: runs a routine step by step with timers and spoken cues. “Super recommend it” (November 2022).
Todoist: fast to-do capture and repeating tasks, “more of a todo list than actual planing software” (April 2024).
Amazing Marvin: a planner you shape yourself, down to hiding everything but one task. “Very ADHD-friendly” (July 2026).
Focusmate: live video sessions with a stranger working beside you. Not a planner, but “unbeatable” for one user who left Tiimo (July 2026).

Users who left reported routines with per-step timers removed (May 2025), Android widgets missing after a rebuild (August 2026), and features behind the paywall (March 2023).

A Tiimo app alternative that plans for you

In one-by.one, our app, your own AI plans the day: ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant, connected once on the Connect page. It lays out routines, travel and prep around your calendar, and your iPhone shows only the next card, with Start, Done and Skip.

The current card also runs from a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget. Get one-by.one on the App Store.

Where it is not better: it costs $12.99 a month or $59.99 a year, it is iPhone only, it needs your own AI, it has no visual timeline, and it is a new app.
