From an email that was sent to all Timeful accounts:

    A couple things to note:
    
    * Timeful will remain in the App Store, and
    we'll continue to support it. We won't be
    adding new features, but we're more than
    happy to help you with bugs or answer any
    questions you have.
    * If you'd like, you can export your data
    out of Timeful (http://www2.timeful.com/export/)
    at any time.

I have got to say, that looks like the right way to handle such an acquisition.

Looks like they are sunsetting. They will be focusing on other projects at google

Sunsetting?! Did they all live in Finland in the middle of winter? It was a bloody short day.

I was a user of Timeful. It live[s|d] on my dock. The thing has only been around for what feels like 6 months ... so much for that. So much for altering your workflow to get used to a new service. So much for relying on something.

I don't recall if I paid for it, and thus have any right to be even slightly miffed, or if - more likely - it was free, and I should therefore just shut up and get on with my life.

When will this ever stop? It really makes me reticent to "trust" a new app, ever again.

It was free, if it makes you feel any better.

I used it too, but it always felt like a good idea not yet fully executed.
