Twig - The shared journal for couples. Social media is too public and scrapbooking is too hard - share your memories with your partner in one place, just for the two of you. Each memory has a place for you to upload photos and each add a note about your special moment. Twig makes it easy to document even the smallest of sweet moments. Plus, it's completely free. The story behind Twig: Both my fiancé Kassidy and I have gifted each other various forms of scrapbooks. While that definitely has its place, we wanted something that could be used any time something special happened. So I set out to make this app. Now we've got a rolling memory of all sorts of special moments we've shared! I hope it's just as useful for you as it has been for us. Enjoy!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Twig at 4.6 against Duet's 4.0. Twig also leads on ratings volume (539 vs 1). Duet's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Twig holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twig has 539 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Twig's written reviews are positive against 100% of Duet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Twig ships an update every 5 weeks, Duet every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
