Thank you @kevin for hunting us! Hi everyone, I'm Parker, the creator and developer of Twos ✌️. When I was a freshman at Vanderbilt, I struggled with depression. As an introvert, I wrote my thoughts/feelings/experiences in a Google Doc, which helped me offload my mind and feel better. Fast forward to a summer internship at Qualcomm, and my manager suggested I write down tasks and accomplishments for future job interviews. I was writing things down, but my systems were slow and disorganized, which led me to write far less than I wanted. One night at a Padres game with my Dad, I envisioned a quick, easy, all-in-one place to write things down privately, that would also allow me to share some things to connect with my friends/family. I was so excited, I went home and started building "Twos" that night. Twos was designed around three core principles: 1. Speed ⚡️: To quickly capture and find *things* 2. Ease 💆‍♂️: So it's simple, enjoyable, and a long-term solution 3. Shareability 🎁 : So you can create meaningful connections with the people you care about In order to make all three a reality, I built a new technology we call "things." *Things* are the individual, actionable pieces of information you capture in Twos. They can be notes 🗒️, to-dos ✅, reminders ⏰, and events 📆 and are easily reordered ↕️, moved 🚚, and shared 📤. With Twos, you can save time, remember more, and share any*thing* in a simple, yet powerful way. Use Twos in the browser by visiting https://www.TwosApp.com and access your *things* anywhere with our free apps at https://www.TwosApp.com/download. Thank you all for reading and happy Twosday! ✌️

@parkeraklein I think you've accomplished the 3 core principles around the app. It's honestly a joy to use. Happy to be part of the community! And shout out to you for the hard work you're putting into this app! You truly care about what the community's needs are and meet us right where we're at. Thank you, Parker!
Parker Klein
@cameron_pak1 I'm melting 😍. Thank you, Cam! And thank you for being an amazing part of the community. Getting better and closer to the vision every day. TGIT ✌️❤️
Cam Pak
@parkeraklein yeah! And I'm happy to lend a hand with ideas and designs!
Jedda
@parkeraklein So thankful for this app that you've built and the community around it. It literally has been life changing!
Parker Klein
@jeddacp My pleasure. Thank you for being such an important part of this community and always helping us improve the app and the way we communicate about it. Much love, Jedda ✌️❤️
Joe Steilberg
Hi everyone! @parkeraklein's comment perfectly covers why we are so excited to share Twos with you today. My story is quick: For as long as I can remember, I have been diagnosed and battled with ADHD. To graduate from college, I would take prescription medication almost every day which made me feel almost robotic. My father (also ADHD) suggested that I start writing things down, both personally and professionally, as an alternative to meds, and it helped a lot. Writing gave me control over my mind and I would run through notebooks with random thoughts, to-dos, and even stand-up jokes. So when I met Parker at a startup in Austin, Texas and he introduced me to Twos ✌️ it was destiny for us to work on it together to share the benefits of writing things down with more people. That's how our journey started and we are so happy others have seen the value in writing *things* down through Twos. Would love to hear when you all started writing things down and happy to answer any questions about startup, ADHD, or stand-up comedy below... Oh and you can check out my public Twos profile here: https://www.TwosApp.com/@Joe Happy Twosday! ✌️
Cam Pak
@twosjoe bro, right there with ya on the ADHD train. Twos has helped so much for me. You bring so much joy and fun to the Twos community! :) Also… I want to hear more about this stand-up comedy lol
Joe Steilberg
@cameron_pak1 I'm blushing. Thank you so much Cam and next webinar I'll prepare a *thing* or two from the stand-up list ✌️😂
Jedda
@twosjoe Twos would absolutely not be the same without you, and the energy that you bring to the table. Every time we talk, I can tell how absolutely passionate you are about the product and the community you have built around it. Twos Guys is the most perfect combination and am super thankful y'all have given me the chance to witness your rise to the top! 🚀 🌙 ✌️
Fred Markle
@parkeraklein @joe @twosjoe you guys are amazing. Keep up the great work and thanks for all you do.
Jonas Haefele
Twos feels like Bullet Journaling, Obsidian and Reminders had a baby. One that only takes the best bits of it's parents, make things very simple and adds just that little bit of accountability and structure.
Parker Klein
@jonashaefele Wow! Thank you, Jonas! Extremely kind of you and love that take 😊. Thank you for sharing and let us know howe we can help! Happy Twosday ✌️❤️
Cam Pak
@jonashaefele haha I agree! I love Bullet Journaling, but don't always have my journal with me. I do have my phone with me, so Twos became my bujo replacement. :)
Renee'
@jonashaefele @cameron_pak1 I have always been BUJO curious but couldn't quite commit to it. I would love to see your Twos BUJO setup. What a great idea.
Peter Walsdorf
@jonashaefele That's an awesome analogy! I've been struggling to explain Twos to my friends sometimes and this was great!
Joe Steilberg
@jonashaefele want to help us in our marketing department because this comment is GOLD! Simplicity is very important to us and we are excited to make it even more simple :)
Cam Pak
@parkeraklein @twosjoe Twos is my favorite app to use every day …and it's fun to use Twos is different than the "productivity apps" I've used in the past. I've tried them all. Things, TickTick, Microsoft Todo, Todoist, Bear Notes, Notion, etc… only thing that has stuck is Bullet Journaling, except I didn't always have my journal on me. I did, however, have my phone! I use Twos every day to write, plan, and organize my life. It's the absolute best digital implementation of Bullet Journaling for me. With me having ADHD, I need something to keep track of things, so that I don't forget important stuff. Twos has helped so much. Plus, I love the community in the app and on Discord. Such fun people!
Parker Klein
@twosjoe @cameron_pak1 let's goooo! Thank you, Cam! Love the comparison between Twos and a Bullet Journal. Two phenomenal tools for capture, organization, and memory. So thankful for your support, encouragement, and humor. Talk soon, bro, and wishing you and Han the best with the little one! ✌️❤️
Cam Pak
@twosjoe @parkeraklein my fav is trolling everyone with Rick Rolls haha. And thank you! Baby Bennett Pak comes in 2 weeks …eeek!! :)
Niño Piamonte
@parkeraklein @twosjoe @cameron_pak1 Tbh, i didn't know bullet journaling until I discovered Twos. Long story short, Twos is the best productivity app lol.
Joe Steilberg
@parkeraklein @cameron_pak1 You HAVE to be one of the funniest in the group and your additions to Twos World are nothing short of amazing. Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing with others. Consider your Whalelord plush covered by the Twos Guys ✌️😂
Jedda
@cameron_pak1 I agree with this sentiment so much! I also tried paper bullet journaling and epically failed because I didn't want to carry my journal with me and my colorful pens everywhere. With Twos, I can still make it my own AND stay on top of my tasks. PLUS I typically always have my phone with me and is literally just a click away. So happy to have you a part of this community. The jokes, and laughter are always appreciated! ✌️
Francesco D'Alessio
Twos is becoming very popular as a new light note-taking app.
Parker Klein
@francescod_ales Thank you for being here, Francesco! We really appreciate all of your support and help in bringing Twos into the hands of more people. Here if you ever need anything ✌️❤️
Niño Piamonte
@francescod_ales Francesco is going up in the Twos Leaderboard because of the referrals (currently 4th!). Love it! ❤️
Cam Pak
@francescod_ales Francescooooooooo! Welcome here, man. And congrats on the baby :)
John Taylor
@francescod_ales "Light" 💡as in you can see so much more once you start putting *things* into it. Then it becomes 🏎️ a Formula One productivity tool with enough horsepower 🏇to move you on down the race track. 😄
Joe Steilberg
@francescod_ales would not be able to do it without your help, Francesco. We LOVE your videos and the community you're building is breathtaking. Let us know if there is anything we can do to return the favor!
Niklaus Gerber
I love that Twos ✌️ is doing something no other App is doing. It has a unique approach, and Kevin and his team are shipping updates ever so often. I would recommend giving Twos ✌️ a try for a few weeks. Then you start feeling what makes it so quick and easy. I would love to have a somewhat bigger typography, but besides that, Twos ✌️ is such a great companion. I can highly recommend it.
Parker Klein
@niklausgerber Wow! Thank you, Niklaus! Warms my heart and we're so happy you've found the value in writing *things* down :). And thank you for the recommendation! We have a feature on the roadmap to give people the ability to resize their interface with a little scroll bar to find the perfect size. Should be amazing :). Thank you so much for the feedback and for recommending Twos to more people, we really appreciate it. Happy Twosday ✌️❤️
Cam Pak
@niklausgerber @parkeraklein great idea! That would be really helpful on mobile when I'm journaling
Renee'
@niklausgerber You know what I do is use the desktop app a lot and hit Command + to zoom in. This makes my life so much easier. 👀
Niño Piamonte
@niklausgerber @parkeraklein And something similar to Gmail's default/compact/comfortable display densities 🤔
Joe Steilberg
@niklausgerber If I could give this comment an award I would (but I think @parkeraklein gave them all away at 3 am 😂) Love that you see the unique value in using Twos and amazing suggestion about giving it a try for a couple weeks. It is what most people emphasize makes a lasting impact. Thank you so much!

Super excited to witness the PH launch of one of my most used and favorite apps for the past year and a half. Twos has helped me stay on track, and organized while keeping me accountable. It is my go-to app when I need to write things down super fast on the fly, as well as the first place I go to when I want to remember anything. Finding things I did last week or a year ago has never been easier with its powerful search functionality. Love the private first approach but I've also fallen in love with the community surrounding Twos AND the app's social aspect that came to life a few months ago, from sharing lists to just one off things. Excited to see where this app goes from here. Congrats to Parker and Joe for this milestone moment! 🎉✌️
Parker Klein
@jeddacp Yeeew! You're the greatest, Jedda! So appreciative of all of your help, feedback, designs, and feature requests. They're all extremely smart and help us continue moving in the right direction and improve the product. Thank you for being a part of the journey and it wouldn't be the same with you. Thank you, Jedda ✌️❤️
Cam Pak
@jeddacp I agree! And congrats to you for building and being part of such a great community!
Joe Steilberg
@jeddacp when I say I have tears in my eyes I mean that literally. We are SO lucky to have your support Jedda and the positivity you bring to the team makes everything go round. Thank you for being the SECOND upvoter and for all that you have done/will do. SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER ✌️
Peter Walsdorf
@jeddacp A huge help to the Twos community! Jedda rocks!
André J
I'm calling it. You guys will get second place today 😏
Parker Klein
@sentry_co Lol, thank you, André. What makes you think that? Is it the name? 😂
André J
@parkeraklein I'm clairvoyant like that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Good luck today guys 🚀
Parker Klein
@sentry_co had to look up what clairvoyant means 😂. I like your prediction :). Thank you, André and thank you for showing your support! ✌️🚀🌚
Joe Steilberg
@sentry_co you a time traveler or sumn? 👀
Tyler Leinenbach
@sentry_co your bet is lookin pretty good right now!
Sanjukt Saha
Falling in love ...
Parker Klein
@sanjuktsaha 😍 thank you, Sanjukt! Let us know what else you'd like to see! Product is constantly improving ✌️❤️
Peter Walsdorf
@sanjuktsaha getting attached to Twos like it's my first girlfriend.
Joe Steilberg
@sanjuktsaha You're Twos kind, Sanjukt ✌️
Jedda
@sanjuktsaha it's ok. Twos will catch you when you fall (in love).
Sam Simmons
How have you managed to build an app that integrates so perfectly into how I manage my life?? Is there a way to share lists and note spaces with others? My wife and I run our lives through shared Apple notes currently.
Nicola
@jimmyswag Twos is brilliant! Yes, you can share lists with others and also collaborate with someone on a list. That might fit what you're looking for. @parkeraklein - could you point Sam to any resources about sharing/collaborating? Thanks!
Joe Steilberg
@jimmyswag What an amazing comment/compliment! The favorite feedback we receive is "works just like my brain does." As the other commenters have said, we do have collaboration AND an in-app feed of published *things.*
Tyler Leinenbach
@jimmyswag the best way to share lists. i have begun sharing all my lists from twos!
Fred Markle
@jimmyswag they are doing great things. New updates all the time.
Jedda
@jimmyswag Twos is super great with 1:1 collaboration, team collaboration, AND you can even share lists with total strangers (who eventually turn into friends) via Twos World☺️ ... Twos basically has it all, or is on its way to having it all WITHOUT being bloated.
Sanjukt Saha
LOL :) What do I upgrade though?
Parker Klein
@sanjuktsaha Great question! Thank you, Sanjukt! In the mobile apps (iOS and Android) we have in-app upgrades for tags, custom colors, highlight colors, hyperlinks, etc. Everything is free on web and in the desktop app, but you can redeem your coins to get upgrades for free in the app. Happy Twosday ✌️❤️
Sanjukt Saha
@parkeraklein the easter eggs, for what else to call them are kind, human and full of possibilities. I am signing on and introduced my entire team. I am just floored with the possibilities in your roadmap and the cool, understated way I am stumbling across them.
Parker Klein
@sanjuktsaha Wow! Thank you, Sanjukt! So thankful for you sharing Twos with your team! ✌️😊. Lots of improvements to come, but we'd also love to know what you'd like to see! Here if you need anything or have any questions. Happy Twosday ✌️❤️
Niño Piamonte
@parkeraklein @sanjuktsaha Let's goo! Thank you for your support Sanjukt!
Joe Steilberg
@parkeraklein @sanjuktsaha LET'S GO! All the more people to collaborate with :) Thank you so much for sharing, Sanjukt!
Andreia Faria
I can't even express how thankful I am for Twos, and to you, Parker & Joe. Twos does for me what no one app has done so far. I used to be really disorganized and could never stick to the same app to organize my life, which made me struggle to be productive and efficient - but that time is over. I never thought I'd find such an innovative app I could use as journal, a schedule, a task manager, a brainstorming buddy, and a creativity booster all at once. I feel like I've finally conquered the chaos of life with Twos. Highly recommend it! ✌️❤️
Parker Klein
@andreiaffaria Andi! 😍 We're so thankful for you! So happy to hear you've found a tool to stay organized and productive 😊. Thank you for helping us spread the word, find bugs, and always here for any requests and help. Happy Twosday ✌️❤️
Nicola
@andreiaffaria Your lists are so inspiring, Andi! Love them.
Joe Steilberg
@andreiaffaria You are an AMAZING part of the community, Andi! And (as mentioned below) your presence on Twos World is what makes us so excited about the future! Thank you so much for your kind words and happy Twosday ✌️❤️
Jedda
@andreiaffaria Andi!!! I have so very much enjoyed the lists you've been publishing in Twos World. Thankful to have you as a part of the community.
Lakshmi Shenoy
Twos is how I coordinate my household management with my husband - helps makes sure we don't drop the ball as we plan our lives!
Parker Klein
@lakshmi_shenoy1 Yew! Thank you for sharing, Lakshmi! Love to hear that Twos is helpful both in the household and in the workplace ✌️
Joe Steilberg
@lakshmi_shenoy1 this is so exciting, Lakshmi! Everyone knows an organized home starts with a great list and love to hear you are enjoying collaboration. Thank you for supporting us from the jump and happy Twosday! ✌️
Cam Pak
@lakshmi_shenoy1 Nice! My wife just got Twos, so I'm hoping we can do the same thing and be more in sync. Any tips?
Lakshmi Shenoy
@cameron_pak1 Grocery Lists, Costco Lists, Weekend Schedules, Weekly Meal Planning - EVERYTHING that is taking up space in my precious head!
Peter Walsdorf
@lakshmi_shenoy1 That's an awesome use for Twos that I never thought about! Will have to try this with my family.
Craig Paterson
Twos looks really good. Can’t wait to get stuck in and using it daily. How does the "2 Free Upgrades" code work? Don’t see anywhere obvious to redeem it.
Parker Klein
@craigcpaterson Thank you, Craig! Awesome! Let us know if you have any questions or requests, we'd love to help! The 2 free upgrades can be redeemed in the mobile app (iOS or Android). In the side menu -> settings -> referral center is where you can add it. You'll receive 400 coins or 2 free upgrades for features like hyperlinks, highlights, custom colors, and more. They can be redeemed in the side menu -> coins -> redeem coins. All features are free on the web and desktop app so this will apply only to the mobile app. Let me know if you run into any issues ✌️ ❤️
Craig Paterson
@parkeraklein thanks for the info! All good now 😉 Congrats on the launch and hope all goes really well for you.
Pepe
@craigcpaterson @parkeraklein I can't see where to redeem the code (on Referreal center, there's only an option to "customize your code")
Joe Steilberg
@craigcpaterson Thanks so much, Craig! Looking forward to hearing about your initial experience and let us know if you think there is anything we can do to improve!
Joe Steilberg
@craigcpaterson @parkeraklein @cf72 Hey Pepe - you likely already signed up with a referral code if you don't see it there anymore. The 2 free upgrades come in the form of 400 coins which you can redeem for upgrades, just tap the coins button below your profile picture ✌️
Fred Markle
Everyone, not just productivity nuts, should give this app a try. It's such a helpful, fun, and easy to use app. My whole family is using it to keep track of their days (5 of us). Plus the Team behind this app is amazing and kind.
Cam Pak
@bigphredo wow! How did you get your entire family on board? haha. Just got my wife using Twos :)
Fred Markle
@cameron_pak1 they all liked that it was simple and jumped right in. One the only apps they didn't roll their eyes at me about checking out.
Joe Steilberg
@bigphredo FRED! We are so lucky to have you part of our community and really appreciate your kind words :) Hope you're having a GREAT Twosday.
Jedda
@bigphredo the best part of the app is that literally anyone can use and benefit from it. It's not just for heavy PKM user, but also for my mom trying to organize her recipes.
Shivam Ramphal
Oooooh yeah supporting this Tampa startup. I recommend this app to everyone lol. Keep up the good work guys 🥳
Parker Klein
@shivam_ramphal Thank you, Shivam! Thank you so much for the support and for recommending Twos to more people 😍. Really appreciate your help. Happy Twosday ✌️❤️
Joe Steilberg
@shivam_ramphal Amazing!! Thank you, Shivam ✌️ Tampa has been so great to us.
Jim Griffiths
This is a great tool. I have so many things to do, I have multiple places where I'm recording stuff, Notes on iPhone, paper lists, reminders on iPhone and Google calendar. I love it when someone creates something that's already in my mind but they make it a reality. I'm up and running now, thanks for building Twos
Parker Klein
@jim_griffiths Let's gooo! So happy to hear that, Jim! Please let us know if you have any questions or if there is anything we can do for you. We're here to make dreams into reality 😂. Excited to talk more in the future and happy Twosday ✌️ ❤️
Joe Steilberg
@jim_griffiths Thank YOU, JIM! Sometimes the best ideas are ones that seem so obvious. We still have a long way to go and a lot of improvements to make but so happy for our early adopters.
Peter Walsdorf
@jim_griffiths This is exactly how I felt about Twos! I was looking for exactly what Twos provides and I'm happy I found it!
Jim Griffiths
@parkeraklein I'm enjoying using it for my 1st day! When I create a reminder. There is a text field which is reserved for the title (which is super-important as it shows in my reminder list) it would be great to also include a notes field so that I can add a few more details about the reminder ... cheers Twos
Jim Griffiths
@twosjoe nice touch with the 'gamification' element, the little interactive rewards. I wasn't expecting that :-)
Dan Holahan
I'm a die-hard pen and paper guy, but Twos is the first app that's actually rivaled my current way of working. Can't wait to see what's to come from them 🚀
Parker Klein
@dan_holahan Let's gooo. Love some paper and pen, but Twos! ✌️😂 Thank you for being here to show your support and we'll keep working until we get Dan Twosin' 😂. Happy Twosday ✌️❤️
Jedda
@dan_holahan same! I have put aside my pen and paper journal for Twos! There's just something about being able to search for things you've written down super fast that you can't do with a pen and paper.
Peter Walsdorf
@dan_holahan I agree! Used to always go to notebooks first but never looked back at any of it. Twos has allowed me to easily keep track of everything I write down.
Nicola
@dan_holahan I love pen and paper. I do still use paper occasionally: https://medium.com/talkingtech/h... But only in conjunction with Twos! Love Twos!
Joe Steilberg
@dan_holahan Thank you so much, Dan! I too was once a paper and pen die-hard and agree that it is a close second to Twos ✌️😂 . Appreciate your comment!
Peter Walsdorf
What has been a game changer for me is how intuitive Twos is. I use it literally everyday to increase my productivity, and as a student who has struggled with procrastination, it has been super useful to help me stay on task and get more done than I ever have in the past. I have tried other apps but Twos has easily been my favorite because of its all-in-one nature. I don’t have to try and keep track of reminders, calendar, and notes in different spots. I also love how I can keep my school notes on Twos and search for things I want to review or study super easily and quickly. I’m excited super excited to see where Twos goes next and I’ll definitely be following along! ✌️
Parker Klein
@peter_walsdorf Let's goooo! Thank you, Peter! So happy to hear Twos is helping you get things done so you can be more productive ✌️😊 . It's been a pleasure working with you and getting to know you more. Excited to watch you grow and here for you if you ever have any questions or need anything. Thank you for being here and helping share Twos with more people. Happy Twosday ✌️❤️
Cam Pak
@peter_walsdorf oh wow, it makes me remember my time with college/school and how stressful it was to keep track of everything. Wish I had Twos in the past. Happy that you have Twos now!
Joe Steilberg
@peter_walsdorf Let's go Peter! Super pumped to hear Students love Twos and thank you for all the kind words and support ✌️
Nicola
@peter_walsdorf Love your use case for Twos. I think we need a Discord channel for all the different use cases - so much to learn from other users! @parkeraklein @twosjoe

Thank you Parker & Joe for a great app. I have tried many different organisation & todo apps and systems and love how you have actually managed to innovate the space by thinking about how capturing all ‘things’ is the priority. I love how I can input and organise tasks, lists, calendar items. I appreciate the way it automatically brings unfinished items into todays view. I use it seamlessly between my iPhone and Mac desktop. Perhaps the best endorsement is that I am always telling other people to try it. Well done & thank you.
Parker Klein
@danstretch Aw, thank you, Dan! Thank you so much for sharing Twos with other people! That means the world to us and we're so happy it's helping you stay organized and productive 😊. Here if you ever need anything. Happy Twosday ✌️❤️
Joe Steilberg
@danstretch DAN! This was such a kind/amazing comment to read and I can't thank you enough for the kind words. "If you're good, people will tell you. If you're great, they will tell others." Your help sharing Twos with others is AMAZING and I really appreciate everything you do.
