Twist, by Doist, is a communication app for teams who want a calmer, more organized, more productive workplace. Twist was built for a more intentional way of working together. On any given team, there can be hundreds of conversations happening at once – spread across inboxes or jumbled together in group chats. Keeping up with it all is overwhelming. Important information gets lost. Communication suffers. Twist helps make communication calmer, more structured, and more productive to focus on the work that really matters: deep work.
Unlike real-time group chat apps, it keeps all your conversations organized by topic in asynchronous threads – so your team can choose when to connect to discuss meaningful topics and when to disconnect to work, or to enjoy time off. And unlike messy and disjointed email, everything stays accessible and searchable for everyone, forever, so no team wisdom is ever lost or buried. With clearly titled threads and powerful search, your team will be able to find any topic or decision – even years later. It’s browseable, searchable team knowledge that builds itself.
Twist was built for remote teams, by a remote team. With 70+ people in nearly 60 cities across 25+ countries, Doist has been fully distributed since 2011. Their 72 team members come from 29 different countries ranging from Jamaica to Poland, Taiwan to Australia.
Doist creates tools that promote a calmer, more balanced, more fulfilling way to work and live. At Doist they are running a marathon, not a sprint. This means that they often choose the hard solution that will get them where we want to go in 10 or 50 years, rather than the easy, short-term option that will maximize profits this quarter. They embrace this challenge and push themselves to take risks when thinking in the long-term.
