Evernote is in the midst of their “first-ever Evernote Trunk Conference” and had some big news to share.
Skitch
As the above “Skitched” image indicates Evernote bought the image app/service Skitch and is making the app completely free. As they explain
We love Skitch so much that we decided to buy the company. Skitch is an amazing Mac application that’s changed the way people capture, annotate and share images. Chief Skitchers, Cris Pearson and Keith Lang are moving from Australia and joining Evernote to lead a significantly expanded Skitch team focused on supercharging the product.
Evernote goes on to explain:
Why Skitch? We were drawn to Skitch (har har) for one simple reason: we love and use their product with Evernote. For years, one of our most requested feature areas has been related to improved handling of images and annotation capabilities. Our users take and share millions of photos and screenshots already, but the experience isn’t as good as it could be. We debated about whether to add the improved functionality into Evernote or build a separate app to handle it. Finally, we decided to do both. Thanks to Skitch, we will.
Skitch will make Evernote better (and vice versa) As Skitch users will attest, this is one of the most innovative, easy-to-use applications available on Mac. We’re going to keep it that way. We are committed, not only to making the Skitch Mac app more awesome, but also to bringing Skitch to every desktop and mobile platform under the sun. In addition, in the coming months, you’ll see tighter integration between Evernote and Skitch to let you easily draw, ink, grab screenshots, annotate and share your favorite memories.
It will be interesting to see what new integration arrives now that Skitch and Evernote will be working hand in hand.
They even released an Android app!
In addition Evernote brought word of upcoming new apps for Mac, iOS and more.
There sure are big doings happening over at Evernote and we’ll be interest to see what they announce next.
