Evernote Acquires Skitch, Will Offer It Free [Updated]
Evernote, the notetaking and archiving service, announced today it had acquired image editing and sharing app Skitch for an undisclosed sum.
Skitch is currently available on the Mac App Store for $19.99, but Evernote CEO Phil Libin said it will soon be offered for free as a "fundamental part of Evernote going forward." He also announced versions of Skitch for iPhone and iPad to be released soon as well.
Evernote recently raised $50 million in a venture round led by Sequoia Capital meant for expansion and new acquisitions.
Update: Skitch is now free on the Mac App Store.
