Comparison · November 2026
Questify vs Tiimo
Tiimo shows you your day as a calm visual timeline. Questify gives you a reason to start the next thing on it. One is a planner, the other is a game, and the honest answer is that they do different jobs.
| Questify | Tiimo | |
|---|---|---|
| What it's for | Starting and finishing tasks by making them a game | Seeing your day laid out visually so time feels real |
| Core view | A hero, a quest list and a weekly boss | A visual timeline with blocks, icons and timers |
| Capture | The Orb: speak a brain dump, get three quests | Add activities and routines to the timeline; AI planning assists |
| Motivation | XP, 20 hero forms, boss fights, shareable evolution | Calm, low-stimulation design; focus timer |
| Time blindness | Not the focus; quests have difficulty, not durations | The core strength: duration shown as space, visual countdowns |
| Recognition | Indie, built by one person | Apple's iPhone App of the Year 2025 |
| Platforms | iPhone and iPad | iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android, web |
| Price | Free task game. Premium $4.99/mo or $29.99/yr | Free basic version; full planner is Tiimo Pro, a subscription with a 7-day trial |
Where Tiimo wins
If you lose hours without noticing, Tiimo is the better tool and it isn't close. Duration shown as physical space on a timeline is the single best trick for time blindness anyone has shipped, it was co-designed with neurodivergent people, and Apple named it iPhone App of the Year in 2025 for a reason. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android and the web.
Tiimo is also calm on purpose. No bosses, no XP, nothing flashing. If gamification makes you roll your eyes, Tiimo is the serious one.
Where Questify wins
Tiimo tells you what the day looks like. It doesn't make you want to do any of it. Questify is built for the gap between seeing the task and starting it: you rant the day at the Orb, get three quests, and finishing one damages a boss and levels a hero that looks like you. For the brain that plans beautifully and then does nothing, the reward loop is the missing piece.
It's also free to actually use. Tiimo keeps a basic free version and puts the full planner behind Tiimo Pro; Questify's quests, bosses, worlds, hero and Orb are all free, with Premium only for the selfie hero and Guilds.
So which should you pick?
Take Tiimo if time disappears on you and you want to see your day. Take Questify if you can see your day fine and still can't start. Honestly, plan in Tiimo and play in Questify is a combination we hear about, and we're fine being the fun half.
