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!
