Introducing Twist by Doist. You may know us as the remote team behind Todoist – a tool that helps millions of people and teams simplify and organize life. But you may not know that we’ve spent the past two years developing a new team communication app, Twist.
We built Twist because there were no good, simple solutions out there for teams like ours – teams who love to collaborate and love to create. The first requires transparent, thoughtful communication. The second requires uninterrupted time for focused work.
Your team shouldn’t have to choose between communicating and creating. Between staying in the loop and putting real, meaningful, awesome work out into the world.
That’s why we built Twist.
If you’re interested in learning more specifics and getting early access to the Twist beta – no commitment required – sign up at twistapp.com. We’d love for you to join us on our journey to make teamwork calmer, more organized, and more productive.
