What is Less Annoying CRM?

Less Annoying CRM keeps shipping the small stuff users have asked for, and one big workflow piece.

LACRM is in steady customer-driven iteration mode — task customization, rich text fields, undo on destructive actions, twelve small requested features in a single release. The standout from the past six months is automations, which finally gives the product a workflow primitive comparable to higher-end CRMs without abandoning its simplicity-first positioning.

What is Twenty?

Twenty is spending its release cycles on auth hardening, not CRM features.

The last six releases are dominated by security and platform work: CVE-driven dependency bumps flagged by container image scanning, a migration of web auth off localStorage token pairs onto httpOnly cookie sessions, captcha and throttling on password reset, and per-user enforcement of OAuth application authorizations. Product-visible change is thin by comparison — an admin panel chat list and a handful of default-value corrections.

Less Annoying CRM vs Twenty: editorial side-by-side

L0.0

Less Annoying CRM keeps shipping the small stuff users have asked for, and one big workflow piece.

◆ Current state

LACRM is in steady customer-driven iteration mode — task customization, rich text fields, undo on destructive actions, twelve small requested features in a single release. The standout from the past six months is automations, which finally gives the product a workflow primitive comparable to higher-end CRMs without abandoning its simplicity-first positioning.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is broadening from contact management into light workflow tooling — automations, update forms, deeper Zapier hooks — while continuing to invest in the unglamorous quality-of-life work (relative date filters, undo merge, group search). It is positioning against feature-rich competitors by being the CRM that respects the user's time, not by matching feature surface area.

◆ Prediction

Expect automations to grow more triggers and conditions over the next quarter, especially around forms and pipeline movement, since the foundation just landed and Zapier integration coverage is being filled in. The next user-visible bet is likely a reporting or dashboard improvement, since visibility hasn't moved while the workflow surface has.

T7.5

Twenty is spending its release cycles on auth hardening, not CRM features.

◆ Current state

The last six releases are dominated by security and platform work: CVE-driven dependency bumps flagged by container image scanning, a migration of web auth off localStorage token pairs onto httpOnly cookie sessions, captcha and throttling on password reset, and per-user enforcement of OAuth application authorizations. Product-visible change is thin by comparison — an admin panel chat list and a handful of default-value corrections.

◆ Where it's heading

This is what a project looks like when it starts preparing for scrutiny it did not previously face. Moving session tokens out of JavaScript-reachable storage and recording OAuth grants per user are compliance-shaped changes, not feature work. Worth noting for anyone reading the cadence: the release train publishes each version twice, once under a twenty/ tag and once under sdk/, so the apparent volume is roughly double the actual release count.

◆ Prediction

The hardening streak points toward enterprise readiness — audit logging or SSO is the natural next item, given that per-user OAuth authorization and cookie-based sessions are already in place.
