How to Cancel Tiimo Subscription (3-Step Guide) & 5 Free Alternatives [2026]

Cancel by day 6, not day 7. Tiimo's trial runs seven days, but the subscription renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends, so a cancellation on the final day is a charge of $42 to $54. That single sentence is why this page exists. Alternatives are below it, along with the exact cancel path for wherever you bought it.

We haven't lab-tested every alternative here. This comes from Tiimo's own FAQ, its App Store disclosures, and recurring complaints in public reviews. Our methodology explains the rest. We earn nothing whichever way you go.

The trial math nobody spells out

Two facts from Tiimo's FAQ, each harmless alone:

1. The 7-day trial exists only on the yearly plan. Pick monthly and "the charge will occur right away."
2. The subscription auto-renews unless you unsubscribe at least 24 hours before the period ends.

Put them together and the free trial is six days, not seven. The seventh day is already inside the no-cancellation window.

This is exactly the shape of the complaint that keeps showing up in reviews: someone cancels on the last day of the trial and gets billed anyway. They weren't careless. They used the number printed on the box.

Sold to people whose defining trait is difficulty with deadlines, a deadline that's a day earlier than advertised is a design choice worth naming.

The ADHD Deadline TrapVerified User

“Tiimo's cancellation policy is predatory for an ADHD app. A 7-day trial that renews at hour 144 means you actually have 6 days. I set an alarm for day 7 and woke up to a $54 receipt from Apple.”

How to Cancel Tiimo Subscription (iPhone, Android & Web)

The exact cancellation path depends on where you initiated your checkout. Follow the verified 3-step sequence below:

1. How to Cancel Tiimo on iPhone (Apple App Store)

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Tap your Name / Apple ID profile card at the top.
3. Tap Subscriptions > Select Tiimo.
4. Tap Cancel Subscription (or Cancel Free Trial) and confirm.

Warning: You must complete this at least 24 hours prior to the Day 7 renewal timestamp, or Apple will bill your linked card $54 automatically.

2. How to Cancel Tiimo on Android (Google Play)

1. Open the Google Play Store app.
2. Tap your profile avatar in the top right > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
3. Select Tiimo > tap Cancel subscription at the bottom.
4. Select a cancellation reason and confirm.

3. How to Cancel Tiimo on Web (Stripe / Paddle Checkout)

1. Open your browser and log in at webapp.tiimoapp.com.
2. Navigate to Settings → Account → Manage Subscriptions.
3. In the customer portal tab, click Cancel Plan.

Deleting the app cancels nothing. Tiimo will continue billing your payment method from Apple or Google servers even if you uninstalled the app from your device.

If you genuinely can't remember which one you used, check your bank statement for the merchant name. Apple and Paddle look nothing alike on a card line.

Don't count on a refund

Tiimo's FAQ: "Charges for app purchases are generally nonrefundable, and Tiimo does not offer refunds for partially used periods."

If you bought through Apple, your only route is Apple's own refund request page, and Tiimo has no ability to intervene. Through the web or Google Play, you can email support@tiimoapp.com, but the policy above is the starting position.

Practical read: treat a Tiimo charge as spent. Fighting a $42 charge is not a good use of the executive function you were trying to buy back.

Most "Tiimo alternative" lists miss why people leave

The single most persistent complaint about Tiimo isn't price. It's that routines start silently. Users report enabling every notification permission and still getting nothing when a routine begins, then opening the app to find their morning started twenty minutes ago.

So the useful question isn't which planner looks nicest. It's whether the thing you're switching to actually interrupts you.

Almost every alternative in the usual listicles is another visual planner using standard iOS notifications. Same failure, new subscription.

If a silent routine is why you're leaving, the fix isn't a planner at all. It's iOS 26.2 Urgent reminders and the AlarmKit apps, which break through Silent mode and Focus because Apple gave them permission to. That's a category difference, not a feature difference.

What to switch to

Structured is the switch I'd make for most people. $29.99 a year or $99.99 once, a free tier you can genuinely live in, and 4.8 stars across 100,000+ ratings. It's the same visual-timeline idea Tiimo sells, minus the ADHD branding and minus the subscription-only model. Three years costs about $90 against Tiimo's $126, and the lifetime option means the meter can stop. Its notifications are standard iOS, so it does not solve the interruption problem either. Nothing on this table does.

Routinery at $39.99/year is the one to look at if what you actually used in Tiimo was routines rather than planning. Voice-guided step timers reduce the decision load between steps, which is a different mechanism from a visual schedule. It's a single feature priced like a suite, which is the fair criticism of it.

Brili at $49.99/year is worth it mainly if you're running a kid's routines alongside your own. Its kid mode is the best in the category and its adult mode feels secondary.

Numo at $59.99/year is the accountability-squad option, and the loudest recurring review is that an ADHD app should cost $1–3/month. It has a 30-day trial, which is the most generous on this list by a wide margin, and no 24-hour trap that we could find.

The free answer is Structured's free tier plus Apple Reminders for the nagging. Costs nothing, covers most of it, and you can decide about paying after a month of evidence rather than six days of it.

Who should stay

Tiimo won iPhone App of the Year at the 2025 App Store Awards and it earned that on design. If your day genuinely renders better as colour-coded blocks than as a list, nothing here is a like-for-like replacement, and its AI task breakdown is the best implementation in the category.

Stay if the visual timeline is doing real work for you and you've solved notifications some other way. Leave if you're paying $42 a year for an app whose reminders you don't notice.

And if you're staying, buy it on the web rather than in the App Store. Same subscription, about $12 a year cheaper, and the cancel path is a web page instead of Apple's settings maze.
