We’ve incorporated many of the best features of Skitch and Clearly in our core applications. (We’ve heard this argument before and it rarely assuages disappointed users.) The move is sure to further anger any Skitch users who are left using the product - things haven’t exactly been smooth under Evernote’s ownership - but the company downplayed these closures, saying that the staple features are already baked into its core service. (Presumably that’s down to its sheer popularity, but it remains to be seen how long it will live on for.)
Slight caveat: Evernote said it will continue to offer Skitch for Mac for download and also provide support, too. Each version will continue to work for existing users but, because there is no longer a team or resources dedicated to each product, “external changes like updates to your operating system or browser may break features or functionality at any point in the future,” Evernote admitted. That means that they will no longer be available for download after that date. Evernote Food, the company’s dedicated recipe app, was shuttered at the end of September.Įvernote said it is ending support for Skitch for Windows, Windows Touch, iOS, and Android on January 22. Skitch is the highest profile casualty, but Evernote’s Clearly reading extension and its Pebble app will keep it company in the app after-life. “As part of our promise to focus on improving the core Evernote experience, we are ending support for several… standalone apps,” Evernote said in a statement.
Evernote bought popular annotation app Skitch back in 2011 and, after incurring the wrath of loyal users for a series of unpopular updates, it is finally saying goodbye to it for good after announcing that it will end support for almost all versions of the service.
