Twos App Users Really Love It

Every once in a while, an app is so well received that an entire community grows up around it. Evernote used to be like that before it started to suck. Obsidian is like that, just look at the YouTube videos and blogs. I've recently discovered that Twos, a combination calendar, to-do, notes plus collaboration and social media app has a devoted following and quite a large community in its built in "Twos World" feature and on Discord.

I have to say that the app is beautifully designed and it's theme-able. It is free to use . It's cross platform, so not only can you use it on a Mac, it can be accessed on iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, and Chrome extensions (for Chromebooks). Unlike Notion, a competitor, Twos can be used offline and will sync when connectivity is reestablished. It generates a new list for "things" every day. That's what it calls its data points whether they be notes, calendar events, or todos. Its interface lends itself very well to bullet journaling.

It's todo lists offers tasks and subtasks and it supports Siri shortcuts so you can verbally add data. Unfinished items automatically carryover to the next day. You can set auto-reminders for todos or calendar events.  Its calendars import from Google, Apple and Outlook. They can also write to those calendars. You can share you lists via links even with people who don't have the app. Twos supports text only data entry via email, texts and WhatsApp.

Some advanced features can either be purchased or earned through the in-app gamification of earning coins by using certain features, referring friends or participating in Twos World, the built in community feature. The purchase price is low though, $1.99 per feature for:

  • Hyperlinks
  • Alerts
  • Weekly reports
  • Suggested times
  • Sublists
  • AI


They also offer a quasi-subscription/donation option to let you gain access to any new features or just to support future development. It's available on the Mac App Store or at the developer's website. If you want to do me a solid, sign up with my referral code.
