Great Slack alternative, minor bugs

Makes my worklife better by providing a robust channel and DM based messaging utilities. I like that it encourages “Inbox Zero” and not expecting responses immediately.

Sometimes notification settings seem to change on their own, maybe once a year theres an outage. And could the branding be sexier? sure. But I’m fine continuing to use it as is.

Merci pour votre avis ! Vous avez tout à fait raison : avec le plan gratuit, vous pouvez accéder à un mois de commentaires et de messages.

Good app with a few glitches

Good app, works well on iPad devices. Only criticism is the app doesn’t always refresh after reading messages so it looks like you still have items unread. It also has a glitch of showing the wrong message preview in the main threads page.

FAQ

What is Twist: Organized Messaging?

Twist is a team communication app designed for asynchronous work. It organizes conversations into threads, with each thread dedicated to a specific topic, project, or client. This structure aims to reduce distractions and improve focus compared to traditional chat applications.

How does Twist organize conversations?

Conversations are organized into threads, where one topic equals one thread. This prevents important information from getting lost in a stream of casual chat. Channels can be created to further group these threads by topic, project, or client, providing a clear overview of team activities.

Is Twist free to use?

The application is free to use, but it does offer in-app purchases. This means there are optional features or enhancements available for purchase within the app, while core functionality remains accessible without cost.

What are the benefits of using Twist for team communication?

Twist promotes productivity over constant availability by eliminating features like green dots and typing indicators, reducing pressure to respond immediately. It also offers smarter notifications and a centralized inbox to help teams focus on what matters most and gain more time for deep work.

How does Twist help with onboarding new employees?

Twist provides a historical record of all team conversations and decisions. This allows new employees to easily access context and learn from past work, facilitating a smoother and quicker onboarding process without requiring extensive manual information transfer.
