Skiff Sold to Notion

Yesterday, when I went to the website of my email provider, Skiff (a privacy-focused productivity platform), I came across the announcement that the company had been sold to Notion.

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 encourage you to export your data and migrate custom domains within the next 6 months.

I had migrated to Skiff a few months ago when I began the transition from the Apple ecosystem, where my iCloud+ plan allowed me to host my own domain.

Before I hosted my email with Apple, I used Zoho Mail as my provider. The company doesn't call itself privacy-focused, but it offers an incredible service with reasonable prices, and its privacy policy is very straightforward.

Because it's a well-known and well-established service, I decided to move back to Zoho as my email provider.

In other words, this is frustrating news, but let's move on.
