Tiimo

  • Setup friction3/5

    Usable within 20 minutes. Building routines is the fun kind of setup.

  • Daily friction3/5

    Cloned routines and widgets mean most days need almost no input.

  • Recovery friction4/5

    Best re-entry experience of any planner tested. No guilt pile.

Overall: ✦ Very Easy

Motion

  • Setup friction1/5

    Real setup investment: importing tasks, estimating durations, credit card before you've decided anything.

  • Daily friction3/5

    Once running, daily load is light. Add tasks, let AI place them.

  • Recovery friction2/5

    Auto-reshuffles missed work, but returning to a dense backlog can overwhelm.

Overall: Manageable

Reality Check: Marcus

Hero Image — Mode B, product logo cards

Same card as Mode A with a product logo row in place of the pattern (the persona pattern still shows through behind it). Two-tool and three-tool comparisons, plus a single-tool review. Real official wordmarks are used where sourced (see docs/logo-audit.md); the rest fall back to a typographic placeholder in the product's brand colour.

Hero Image — Mode A with a line-art icon

Pattern cards can opt into a hand-authored line-art motif via the `heroIcon` prop (brain | automation | models | landing-page | water). The icon sits centred where Mode B puts its logos, over the persona pattern.
