Twine Desktop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SixD has 29 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of SixD's written reviews are positive against 60% of Twine Desktop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SixD ships an update every 3 months, Twine Desktop every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
