Ormy vs Structured: which ADHD app do you actually need?

I built Ormy, so I'm not neutral. Everything about Structured here comes from Structured's own App Store page and help pages, checked on 6 October 2026. If something has changed, email me and I'll fix it.

What is Structured?

Structured is a visual day planner. You drag your tasks and calendar onto one timeline, so you can see your whole day at a glance. It's popular with people who have ADHD.

The free version gives you the timeline, an inbox for quick ideas, a focus timer, widgets and Live Activities. Structured Pro adds your calendar and reminders, recurring tasks and routines, AI that drafts your day, and Replan, which moves missed tasks for you.

It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Android and the web (the web version is in beta). It has a 4.8 rating from over 160,000 people on the App Store, and Apple has made it an Editors' Choice.

Structured Pro comes as a monthly, yearly or one-off lifetime purchase. Prices vary by country.

What is Ormy?

Ormy is a reminder app for people with ADHD who forget things even when they've set a reminder. It isn't a planner you sit down and fill in. You tell it once, and it comes to you.

• It reminds you until it's done. Ormy nudges you every few minutes, for up to an hour, until you tick it off.
• Still ignoring it? It rings. For the things that really can't slip, Ormy can ring a real alarm, even on silent or in a Focus. (Needs iOS 26 or later.)
• Big dates get warnings first. A birthday gets warnings from two weeks out, so there's time to buy the card.
• Where, not just when. A reminder can wait until you're actually at the shop.
• It's on your lock screen. You can tick reminders off right there, without opening anything.

The real difference: planning vs remembering

Structured and Ormy both show your day as a timeline. The difference is what happens next.

I downloaded Tiimo and Structured and had a look. They're planners: you open them and build your day. But planning was never my problem. I'd set a reminder, swipe it away, and forget anyway. I wanted something that would keep on top of me, not notify me once and move on.

Structured is where you plan your day. Ormy comes to you, and keeps coming back until it's done.

Side by side

Which one should you pick?

Pick Structured if:

• You like planning, and you'll look at your plan
• You want your calendar and tasks on one timeline
• You want it on your Mac, iPad, Android or the web
• You'd rather pay once than subscribe

Pick Ormy if:

• You set reminders and still forget
• You swipe notifications away without thinking
• You've missed birthdays, appointments or bin day, even with a reminder set
• You don't want to plan. You just don't want to forget

Use both if you plan your day in Structured, and want the few things that really can't slip to chase you in Ormy.
