Our take
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to almost every company having to find temporary remote solutions for their workforces, with many choosing to continue this due to the benefits of real-time digital collaboration. However, working from home comes with a variety of disbenefits too, including being continuously distracted by notifications and overwhelmed by relentless real-time collaboration.
Doist builds digital tools for remote workers, aiming to develop software that is less distracting, more integrated, and better for mental wellbeing than existing solutions. The company currently provides two key products - Todoist, an all-in-one task organizer, and Twist, a communication app that aims to help workforces balance focused work through asynchronous collaboration and notification-free communication.
The remote work sector has been saturated with productivity tools ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began, but Doist has taken a unique approach by tackling the frustrations many people face with standardized features such as constant notifications and real-time communication. Furthermore, the company provides its software directly to individuals for free, a unique angle over the usual enterprise SaaS subscription model.
