Dear Skiff Community,

We are excited to share that Skiff is joining Notion.

Skiff’s mission is to bring freedom to the internet by helping people collaborate and communicate with freedom and privacy. We see a deep alignment with Notion’s vision to build a connected workspace and enable everyone to build tools that reflect their values.

We’re extremely excited to accelerate our mission by joining forces with Notion’s world-class team. We sincerely hope that the Skiff community will join us for this next stage of our journey. We’re pursuing big plans for making all of our online lives freer and more empowered, and these plans will carry forward directly the ambitions we’ve strived for alongside the Skiff community.

As we begin to shift focus to our shared efforts with Notion, we will be closing down Skiff’s product suite after a 6-month sunset period We are deeply appreciative of the trust users have extended to us, and we are committed to honoring that trust by ensuring that all data on Skiff is easily exportable. For the next 6 months, Skiff services will continue to operate without disruption, and users can freely duplicate, migrate, or export data. You can now also set up a forwarding address to redirect mail to any other provider.

Our commitment to privacy and security is unchanged. All user data remains end-to-end encrypted, and Skiff products will never monetize your data. Accounts and data on Skiff will not be converted into Notion accounts.

We encourage you to export your data and migrate custom domains within the next 6 months. We’ve prepared this guide to make that process as easy as possible. For any other questions, our support team is readily available via the in-app “Send feedback” option or at support@skiff.org.

The Skiff community has lifted, inspired, and energized us at every step. We are humbled by your support and we apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this change may cause you. We remain as committed as ever to bringing about the vision for a better internet that brought us together. Thank you for being part of the Skiff family, and we look forward to continuing to serve you with our future efforts.

Sincerely, Skiff Team

    Welp, that sucks. I guess maybe if Notion veers into privacy that’d be a win, but difficult to see that future. Their new “Notion Calendar” requires Google Calendar.

      Yeah I’m cautiously optimistic that maybe they’ll be bringing some of that end to end encryption tech with them and making Notion’s very powerful system more privacy respecting.

      Maybe they also acquired them to help fill in some of the gaps like the calendar you mentioned.

      At this point… I’m rooting for Proton. I currently have Proton, Privacy, Bitwarden, and Standard Notes. Proton already has an “almost there” replacement for Bitwarden that’s got (IMO) a better UI and better integrates with SimpleLogin. They’ve talked about expanding SimpleLogin to phone numbers and credit cards which would gobble up Privacy for me. They have a fundamental notes system in Pass (their password manager). If they fleshed that out to where it could compete with Standard Notes (… which while getting better has always been a little clunky) I could see myself consolidating around their ecosystem.

      At the same time I might stick with Bitwarden and Standard Notes just because I think Proton being a “monopoly” of sorts isn’t necessarily for the best.
