Todoist Inc

Twist is made by Todoist Inc., the remote company behind the Todoist task manager, which its founder started in 2007. Twist's own site still signs itself Doist Inc.; the terms of service that cover it name Todoist Inc. The company sells subscriptions to both products, and Twist's changelog says its development is on hiatus.
