Visual day planner
Flint vs Tiimo
Tiimo and Flint are both built specifically for ADHD and neurodivergent brains, but they solve different bottlenecks. Tiimo is a visual timeline: you lay out your day as colour-coded blocks with pictograms and a live countdown widget. Flint starts one step earlier — with the brain dump. It helps you get everything out of your head, extract the real action items, then plan the day against the energy you actually have today rather than the day you wish you had.
The short answer
Choose Tiimo if a visual, timer-driven timeline is what keeps you moving. Choose Flint if your bottleneck is capture, overwhelm and overcommitting — and if you would rather pay nothing on a subscription and keep your data on your device.
