PlanSync vs Tiimo - which fits your brain?
Tiimo is genuinely good at what it sets out to do: a calm, visual day planner that lays your schedule on a timeline and guides one focus session at a time. PlanSync solves the same problem differently - several countdowns running at once, a capture box that puts a task on the list in one keystroke, and - with Pro - the same account on your phone and in your browser.

Choose Tiimo if…
- You want a calm, visual timeline that plans your whole day in blocks.
- One gentle focus session at a time suits you better than several timers running side by side.
- AI-assisted planning and a soothing, colourful interface are what pull you back in.
Choose PlanSync if…
- You need several countdowns visible at once - tea, sprint, standup, all in view.
- A quiet timer won’t pull you out of hyperfocus - you need a loud, full-screen alarm when time runs out.
- You live in the browser as much as on your phone and want one synced account across both - that’s Pro.
- Capturing a task in a single keystroke matters more than arranging a timeline first.
