Skiff, the popular secure email and document editing service, shocked its users during the weekend by announcing it'll be shutting down, following an acquisition by Notion. However, Skiff's accounts won't be converted under the new firm, but rather stop working completely after a six-month sunset period.
Founded in 2020 by Andrew Milch and Jason Ginsber, Skiff gained a devoted following thanks to its privacy and security-focused approach. In May 2022, it officially launched its Mail and Drive apps with the mission to empower people worldwide to "communicate without fear of interception or surveillance." Now, almost two years later, that dream seems to have vanished.
