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's sprint through v2.39-v2.40 stabilizes yarn pull and relicenses UI components as MIT.

Twenty is in a rapid patch cadence — multiple releases per day — focused on two parallel workstreams: hardening the yarn twenty pull code-sync command and cleaning up a licensing inconsistency. The twenty-ui package has been republished under MIT to resolve a stale AGPL dependency that blocked commercial use of the UI component library. Most patches are internal infrastructure fixes.

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.

T10.0

Twenty's sprint through v2.39-v2.40 stabilizes yarn pull and relicenses UI components as MIT.

◆ Current state

Twenty is in a rapid patch cadence — multiple releases per day — focused on two parallel workstreams: hardening the yarn twenty pull code-sync command and cleaning up a licensing inconsistency. The twenty-ui package has been republished under MIT to resolve a stale AGPL dependency that blocked commercial use of the UI component library. Most patches are internal infrastructure fixes.

◆ Where it's heading

The yarn twenty pull feature (write an installed application back to source code) is the main forward-looking investment in this window. The v2.40.0 fix completing the 'not exported yet' list shows this feature is being actively hardened for production use. With the MIT relicense of the UI components, the conditions for third-party developers building on top of Twenty's frontend are cleaner.

◆ Prediction

The pull/export workflow will reach stability around v2.41-v2.42, with export coverage for the currently unsupported types (roles, permissions, logic functions) arriving in subsequent patches. The MIT relicense may accelerate third-party component usage once it propagates through dependent registries.
