(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 said it is ending support for Skitch for Windows, Windows Touch, iOS, and Android on January 22.
