Where Tiimo is the better choice
Tiimo has been around since 2019 and it shows. It runs almost everywhere: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android and a web planner you can open on a laptop. If your planning happens across several devices, or you use Android, Tiimo is the safer pick today. It also has a long record of awards, including Apple's iPhone App of the Year for 2025.
Where Taskling is different
You plan by talking, not by building a schedule
Many visual planners ask you to create each block on a timeline. In Taskling you can write one messy sentence, like "call mum tomorrow 3pm, laundry, gym 6pm, reply to Sam". Sprig reads it back as four tasks with a time and a length, and you untick or edit anything before you approve.
Your day has four simple homes
Instead of a minute by minute timeline, every task sits in Morning, Afternoon, Evening or Anytime. That is how most people already think about their day, and it means a late start does not wreck the whole plan. When you want more detail, the timeline and month calendar are still there.
Big tasks come with a first step
Open a task and Sprig can suggest smaller steps. "Deep work: pitch deck" becomes "open the deck and write the title", "draft three key slides" and "add one chart".
No guilt by design
Taskling has no red badges. Unfinished tasks roll forward on their own, and small wins get confetti, streaks and badges instead.
Comfort features
Focus sessions can run inside cosy scenes such as a snowy cabin or a rainy café. You can switch to the OpenDyslexic font, pick colour themes and app icons, and set up family profiles.
Price
Both apps are free to download with a paid upgrade. Prices differ by country and change over time, so compare the current price on each App Store page. Taskling keeps daily planning on Today free, and the yearly Plus plan starts with a 7 day free trial.
Which should you pick?
- Pick Tiimo if you need Android, an Apple Watch app, an iPad app or a web planner.
- Pick Taskling if you plan on iPhone, find building a timeline tiring, and want to dump your thoughts and get a calm, sorted day back.
- Not sure? Both have free plans. Try each for three days with the same tasks and keep the one you still open on day three.
