What is NewTwos?

NewTwos is one place to write down anything that matters, and get it back when you need it.

Why you'd care

Most people run three or four systems at once. A notes app for thoughts. A to-do app for tasks. A reminders app for times. A photo of a whiteboard somewhere in the camera roll. Nothing is wrong with any of them individually, but together they guarantee one thing: you will not remember which one you used.

NewTwos collapses that into a single stream. You write, and it lands somewhere sensible without you choosing. Later you search, and it comes back.

What it is good at

  • Writing something down fast. The capture bar is always one gesture away. See the capture bar.
  • Not losing to-dos. Unfinished ones follow you day to day until you deal with them. See carry-over.
  • Finding things months later. Search covers everything, including text inside your photos. See search.
  • Bringing the past back. What you wrote a year ago today returns on its own.

What it is not

  • Not a project management tool. There are no assignees, statuses, or Gantt charts. It is a notebook that can remind you about things.
  • Not a wiki. There are no folders and no page hierarchy to maintain. Lists and days do the organizing.
  • Not a place you have to tend. If you never make a single list and only ever write onto your days, it still works. That is the intended path, not the degraded one.

Where it runs

iPhone, iPad, Android, the web, Mac, Windows, Linux, and Apple Watch, with home-screen widgets on mobile and a menu-bar app on desktop. Everything syncs, so what you write on a phone is on your laptop by the time you get there.

What it costs

Writing things down is free forever, with no limit on how much you write. NewTwos Plus unlocks tags, sublists, customization and the heavier organizing features. See free, Plus, and what you keep.
