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.

Side by side, as of November 2026.

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.

Questions people ask when they're choosing

Does Questify have a timeline or calendar view?
No. Questify is a quest list with a daily plan of three, not a time-blocked calendar. If you need to see hours, Tiimo does that and we don't.
Is Questify free where Tiimo isn't?
The core task game is free: quests, bosses, all four worlds, the twenty-stage hero and the Orb. Premium is $4.99/month or $29.99/year in the US and adds personalized avatars and Guilds. Tiimo has a free basic version; the full planner is Tiimo Pro, a subscription with a 7-day trial.
Can I use both?
Yes, and some people do: Tiimo for the shape of the day, Questify for the push to start each piece.
Is either app a treatment for ADHD?
No. Questify is a task game, not healthcare, and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
