What is the main difference between Owaves and Tiimo?
The shape of the day. Owaves draws your 24 hours as one circle planned around your body clock; Tiimo draws a timeline of tasks broken into doable steps.
The Owaves App Store listing describes a 360° circular view of your 24 hours, aimed at time blindness. Every activity belongs to one of 8 categories (Move, Eat, Relax, Love, Play, Work, Flow and Sleep), each with its own color, per the Owaves FAQ; our guide to what the colors in Owaves mean walks through them. Tiimo’s visual planning page describes one view that brings together your calendar, to-dos, routines and reminders, by day, week or month, with your own colors and icons.

What does Owaves do that Tiimo does not?
Owaves starts from your biology. The free app covers My BodyClock, My Goals and My Moai, and connects to Apple Health to compare planned and actual activity, per its App Store listing.
The Body Clock Quiz takes about a minute and predicts your chronotype, which Owaves calls your Body Clock Type, with a sample Day Plan to follow (Owaves FAQ). BodyClock Plus, the subscription, adds BodyClock AI recommendations for Deep Sleep, Deep Work, Peak Fitness and Eating Windows. Owaves calls these Windows: personalized time windows drawn from your chronotype, tracked activities and Apple Health data (BodyClock AI announcement, October 2025). Our step-by-step guide covers how to use Windows in Owaves.
What does Tiimo do that Owaves does not?
Tiimo is built around tasks and getting started, and it reaches more platforms. Its free version includes a basic planner, limited AI chats and one profile, per its App Store listing.
The listing describes an AI Co-Planner that turns a brain dump into a plan, a to-do list, a focus timer, widgets, and Apple Calendar and Reminders sync. Its FAQ adds Google and Outlook calendar import and a web planner with Tiimo Pro. Tiimo says it was co-designed with ADHD and autism experts, and its mood tracking puts how you feel next to sleep and activity data from Apple Health.
Who is each app best suited to?
Choose by what you plan most: your whole day’s rhythm or your task list.
Owaves: My BodyClock suits you if you:
– want sleep, meals and movement on the same page as work or class, as in our college schedule guide;
– want to plan around your Body Clock Type, or time workouts and meals with Windows;
– use an iPhone with an Apple Watch and Apple Health.
Tiimo suits you if you:
– get stuck starting tasks and want AI to break them into timed steps;
– want a visible countdown for each task;
– need Android or a browser alongside iPhone, or want to share profiles with family.
Both companies speak to people with ADHD: the Owaves listing names time blindness, and Tiimo describes itself as a planner built for neurodivergent people. For one ADHD reviewer’s take on Owaves, see How to ADHD’s Owaves review; for another planner side by side, see Owaves vs Structured.
Your day on My BodyClock
The day above on My BodyClock shows a student day for someone who likes to see time: 8 hours of sleep anchor the night, a morning walk and breakfast start the day, classes and one focus block take the alert hours, an afternoon swim follows, and sketching, dinner, a call home, light review and a wind-down fill the evening. Flow time covers the commute, errands and packing a bag.
Start with the Body Clock Quiz, then download Owaves on iOS or join the Android waitlist. Then connect Apple Health. Owaves is the World’s First Wellness Planner, Powered by Your Body Clock.
