Evernote is, once again, paring down. After ending support for its Food app this summer, the company will ditch three more of its products.
This time around, Evernote is giving the heave ho to its Clearly extension, designed to make Web pages more readable; its Skitch annotation app for Windows, Windows Touch, iOS, and Android (the Mac version will continue to live on); and its Pebble smartwatch app. Evernote is no longer updating these apps, and they will no longer be available for download after Jan. 22.
"We realize fans of Clearly and Skitch may be disappointed and we don't take these decisions lightly," Evernote wrote in its announcement.
The company said it's simplifying its product line to "focus on improving the core Evernote experience," and that many of the most popular features from Clearly and Skitch are already available in "many versions" of Evernote and Web Clipper. Evernote for Windows and iOS, for instance, now includes "nearly identical annotation functionality" that Skitch offers. In addition, the article simplification features from Clearly are now available in Web Clipper.
Pebble users, meanwhile, can find similar features in the Powernoter app, Evernote said.
"If you currently use any of these apps, you'll find that they may continue to work for some time beyond January," Evernote wrote. "We are not turning these apps 'off,' but external changes like updates to your operating system or browser may break features or functionality at any point in the future."
