Anton's Twos Article (english translation)
by Joe · 16 things on Twos
- Twos - a different approach to tasks
- An overview of the application for doing things
- Twos was created six years ago by a then developer at Google. He left and began to develop his application.
- This is a good alternative to Things. Not as responsive as it seemed to me, lacking simplicity, but an interesting approach that distinguishes it from similar applications.
- The author positions the application, not as a note-taking or task manager, it is an application for writing things down.
- Functions
- Write down what you need to remember. There is no entity incoming. Tasks are tied to dates. By default, a list is created with the current date. Nothing prevents you from creating your own lists. When creating, they offer ready-made templates.
- To quickly access the desired list from the sidebar, add them to bookmarks.
- You can add indents to tasks. There is a simple formatting, text selection.
- To display events in the application calendar, add synchronization with apple calendars.
- How did I miss such a function as a split. I never got my wife to send me a shopping list through shared notes and reminders. She sends WhatsApp in one block, separated by a comma. But now in Twos I can paste this text and break it into separate tasks by choosing a comma as a separator. There is also an inverse function: combining a list of tasks into one block.
- Lists can be shared with friends, with different levels of access: viewing or editing.
- As you use the app and explore its features, you earn coins. For local currency you open Pro functions. If not enough, buy with real money, $2 each. I have opened sublists and adding photos.
- The application has a web version and mobile versions for iOS and Android.
- Output
- The interface of the application is clear and convenient. You quickly understand what is being done. I like the approach to tasks/things. The only thing I would like to improve is the responsiveness and smoothness of the interface.
