From research project to planning essential

Tiimo started with a simple question: how can technology make planning easier for ADHD’ers? What began as a research project became a mission. Today, Tiimo helps over a million people plan their days with tools designed for flexibility, support, and the way real brains work.

Why traditional planning tools fall short

Most planning tools assume we all think, work, and plan the same way. These rigid, one-size-fits-all solutions often leave neurodivergent people, like Autistic folks, ADHD’ers, and beyond, struggling to keep up.

Traditional planners demand perfect focus, seamless task initiation, and strict schedules, ignoring the reality of how different brains actually function. Tiimo is here to change that with adaptive tools that make planning flexible, supportive, and designed with you in mind.

In 2015, Helene and Melissa started a research project exploring how technology could better support neurodivergent teens. When Melissa was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, their mission became personal.

That project grew into Tiimo - tools designed to make planning more accessible for everyone. Nearly a decade later, Tiimo is an award-winning app with over one million downloads, recognition as an Apple Design Award Finalist, and a reputation as a leading Nordic Impact Startup.

“My ADHD and dyslexia showed me how much the world isn’t built for brains like mine. We created Tiimo to change that, so planning feels easier and actually works for you.”
