But I’m guessing those who have paid for the $19.95 premium version of Skitch (especially those who have paid recently) might be irked that the upgrade they paid for is now free to anyone. Evernote upgrades: As an obsessive user of both versions, I already pay for the premium versions of both Evernote and Skitch.(Evernote’s text recognition automatically scans any image and makes its text content searchable.)

Make screenshots fulltext searchable: Any image you screenshot in Skitch and add to Evernote will automatically be full text searchable - just like any other image you add to Evernote.Then I could move images into other notebooks as needed. Personally, I’d like to set up an Evernote notebook called “Skitched images”, and put every single Skitch image in there by default (kind of a separate Inbox, just for Skitch). “Add to Evernote”: I want “add to Evernote” as both a per-image option and a default setting in Skitch.I’m delighted to see that an iOS version is “coming soon”, but it can’t come soon enough for me! When it does, I hope it includes the ability to send any Skitched (or Skitch-annotated) image not only to your Skitch web account, but directly to others via Twitter, Facebook and MMS. Skitch for iOS: Whenever I need to share a screenshot or other image I’ve captured on my iPhone or iPad, I bemoan the lack of iSkitch.But actual integration could make them, to use the technical term, way awesomer.

Technical documentation: While troubleshooting a point of confusion for me, the lovely guys at Skitch put me onto the use of Skitch as a documentation or customer support tool: take a screenshot of the app or site you are trying to explain, add some arrows and/or text to indicate what your user should be looking for, and tweet the image to them - all from within Skitch! That’s become part of my workflow for helping others, but it’s also become part of my system for keeping track of my own tech setup: when I install a plugin on my blog that doesn’t quite work, I Skitch the resulting screenshot and then drop it into my Evernote “AlexBlogTech” notebook, making a note of which plugin it was and what I didn’t like about how it worked.īecause you can add a Skitched image to Evernote by simply dragging the Skitch window onto the Evernote icon in your dock, it’s already easy to use the tools together.

Record keeping: When I have a confirmation screen (like a serial number) or other information on my computer that I need to store for safekeeping (like a list of all the apps currently installed on my iPad) I will often snap a screenshot in Skitch and then drag it into Evernote so it’s actually filed where I would think to look for it.

As long as I remembered to sync Evernote on my iPhone before leaving the house each morning, I had a constantly up-to-date guidebook tailored to our plans for that day. If I used my computer to find a new activity or a fresh set of restaurant options, I added that to my notebook too if I looked up a bus route, I took a screen shot of the results using Skitch, then dragged it into Evernote, too.

I used Evernote’s web clipper to save the results of my research into an Evernote notebook called Paris, and I used Evernote’s settings on my iPhone to select the “Paris” notebook for offline use.

Research: When I wrote about compiling a guidebook for our trip to Paris, here’s how I described using Evernote and Skitch together:īefore leaving home, I did lots of research on topics like the best kids’ attractions in Paris, the best places to eat with kids, and the best restaurants in the neighborhood where we were staying.

And I also use Skitch in just about every blog post that includes an illustration: uploading images to Skitch is the single fastest way for me to get an image onto a server, so even if I’m using a stock photo from my hard drive, I copy it into Skitch so I can quickly resize it and get it online, with an URL I can drop into my post.

Blogging: I draft all my blog posts in Evernote, and while I usually cut and paste my text from Evernote into a blog post, I’ve been experimenting with the EverPress plugin, which lets me designate a blog drafts folder in Evernote, and automatically uploads any note in the that folder directly to my WordPress blog, where it’s held for further revisions and publication.

I already use Skitch and Evernote together in a whole bunch of ways, including: They have been shacked up together in my “favourites” launcher for ages, but I’m so glad that they’ve decided to make their relationship official. (If you’re unfamiliar with these two awesome tools, check out my intro to Evernote or my case for Skitch. You know how happy you feel when you find out that two of your good friends have hooked up and are now a couple? That’s how I felt yesterday when I heard that note-taking and information management powerhouse Evernote had acquired screen capture and image uploader Skitch.
