- Valuable information
- Twos is an app and a website
- We designed Twos with the intention of making it accessible from anywhere—whether you're on the go or at your computer.
- With a Twos profile, all your lists and *things* sync across the app and www.TwosApp.com.
- There is also a Chrome extension, Mac app, Windows app, and Linux app.
- Regardless of the device at hand, remembering things is always within reach.
- It is a simple system of lists and *things*.
- *Things* are the building blocks that make using Twos so consistently effective.
- *Things* are the individual pieces of information you capture in Twos.
- Whatever your goal is—simple or complex—you can always start with a *thing*.
- *Things* can then be organized into titled "lists." Whether you're jotting down groceries to buy or making a checklist to follow, they're both simply a collection of *things* saved as a list.

- Cool features
- To-dos are automatically carried over each day
- We don't always get everything done—and that's okay! Twos will migrate yesterday's leftover to-dos for you.
- This process can be automated in the side menu -> settings -> preferences -> "automatically carry over unfinished to-dos."
- Twos integrates with your calendar
- You can integrate your calendar to see events, take notes, and create to-dos all in one place.
- It has two-way sync so you can pull and push events to your calendar.
- It integrates with Apple, Google, Outlook, and more.
- Download the Twos app -> side menu -> settings -> calendars.
- It uses artificial intelligence to set reminders
- You can use your natural language like "Call Tom tomorrow at 5 pm" and Twos will automatically detect the date and set a reminder.
- This is useful in many scenarios:
- Tom's birthday is December 10th -> sets a yearly reminder for "Tom's birthday" on December 10th
- Meditate daily at 7 am -> sets a reminder to meditate every day at 7 am
- My parent's anniversary is September 10th -> sets a yearly reminder for "My parent's anniversary" on September 10th
- You can publish lists in Twos World ✌️🌎
- Lists can be shared publicly within Twos.
- Press the list actions button in the top right -> press Publish to share your list with Twos World.
- I wrote about Twos World here.
- You can use Twos for outlines
- Note-taking processes vary from person to person. When it comes to structuring your *things*, pressing the 'space' key will indent, and you can hit the 'delete' key to outdent.
- Twos works offline
- You never know when you'll need to write something down, so having access to your notes at all times is essential.
- Whether you're on a flight or hiking through the woods, you can save those fleeting ideas and memories, and it will sync when you come back online.
- Twos resurfaces your days, lists, and *things* based on time
- Things tend to be easily forgotten, but not with Twos.
- "On this day", a feature in Twos, helps resurface lists and *things* you wrote down in the past.
- You can also search "surprise me" to remember a random list you've created and "time travel" to jump to a random day.
- You can share lists/things with ease
- Your *things* and lists are private by default, but your information is easily shareable whenever you're ready.
- You can share lists as...
- a link
- an image
- or text
- With Twos, sharing information with others has never been easier.
- Twos history
- The first feature of Twos was pull down for Today
- The quickest and easiest place to write things down is the daily list called Today.
- Back before to-dos, reminders, completing, selecting, moving, etc., we had the ability to pull down at the top of any screen to load Today.
- Speed to capture was always a top priority.
- The name, Twos, stands for the two sides of the platform
- The two sides of Twos are private and public.
- Every*thing* is private by default, but you can choose when to share lists and *things* with other people.
- We use the peace sign as our Facebook "like" button to help spread peace.
- We intend for Twos to be free forever
- Our main goal is helping people remember *things*.
- We think making this free and accessible to all helps everyone.
- As long as we provide value, we find ways to monetize, like our in-app purchases for pro features.
- We are excited to add a two-sided marketplace of information so you can sell and make money off of the valuable information you write down.
- The idea was invented at a Padres game
- In 2015, I was at a San Diego Padres game with my dad.
- I was looking out into the outfield and thought of a notepad where next to each thing you wrote down privately there'd be a toggle to share it publicly.
- That was the start of a private first network to remember & share *things*.
