Twist

Twist is the asynchronous team messaging product of Doist Inc., delivered as a cloud-based collaboration application for distributed teams and knowledge workers. The product organises communication into channels and threads, uses an inbox model for prioritisation, and offers integrations plus a developer API for workflow automation. It is positioned as an alternative to real-time workplace chat, with a focus on reducing notification overload and supporting remote collaboration across time zones. Doist generates revenue through subscription software sold across its productivity portfolio, principally via paid plans for Twist and Todoist. Customers are teams, remote-first companies, developers building integrations, and organisations buying collaboration software for structured communication and task management. The business is private, bootstrapped, and profitable, with revenue driven by recurring SaaS fees rather than advertising.
