So let's dive in guys
The first of this week's news is ever don't again now
obviously I did this week a feature about Evernote death spiral specifically the TechCrunch article there was
Looming around the internet but a couple more pieces have come out since one piece in particular
Leaked some of the job losses that have happened to Evernote according to this article 15 one five percent of the work force
Has been dropped which equates to
54 jobs at Evernote now the CEO has made a statement sort of outlining why this has happened so I include both links in description
But again, this doesn't really play very well as they sort of get this bad news cycle out of the way
I am almost finished on the ever no subscriptions video probably reposted Monday or Tuesday
So moving on to the next news very sad news again. Another email application has gone
Well, almost gone Gmail inbox March 2019
It will be dying Gmail have decided that this experiment is four year experiment is now over
This is something that I sort of hand in the back of my head. Anyway, slowly in the latest released of Gmail
they obviously included a lot of features like snooze and
And a couple of the visual features the inbox hand and now inbox doesn't really have that much relevance
So of course, although it is sad to see it go
It will be going in March 2019 suggests to let you know in other news Mac poor have also released
Clean my Mac X. This is the 10th anniversary
of Mac paw and they are celebrating with the X edition their notes has also released a brand new edition their
1.6. This is one of their most recent updates and it's quite exciting literally release the other day
it includes some of the series shortcuts which will be speaking about near the end of this video quick navigation for your iPhone and I
pants dark mode for when mojave launches on Mac and
Also a few more Pro films as well as tank cons and a few more exciting things
So Microsoft to do is really trying to work in a few updates
I saw a couple of Android releases, but they've also pushed out the web edition a brand new looking web edition
It don't look long clean I'd say but again not really huge amount of changes here again
I think they need a few more features until they are are in the ballpark of the likes of to do is take take or
Some of the other big ones so you're probably wondering to do is to dark mode. When can I get it?
I believe the due date to launch is Tuesday the 25th
So next week, which is quite exciting. You can get dark mode available on iOS Android and pretty much every other device
It'll roll out and I've got an article waiting
I'll have an article waiting on key productive vlog if you're looking at a work out how to activate. So guys
Notion notion have released a smaller update. I believe it's at 1.7, but they haven't actually put the number out on their blog
Basically, it focuses on the relations in the database allowing you to connect up important databases and make it a bit more interactive
When you're planning out stuff visually, they've also introduced page locks, which is very helpful in case you're sharing new things
So for example if you don't want anyone to edit it
Or you just want it to be a static page then you can do so that actually makes a lot of sense
They've also introduced a host of new code block languages as well as the ability to improve the view on hidden column boards
Inside of notion. So guys, of course, we know that iOS 12 result was released this week. I believe it was Monday or Tuesday
I can't really remember now. They don't blend in and one run of it
So I do have the video coming about the iOS 12
productivity features some of the smaller things they've added it's more of what people saying as a
Sort of speedier update so they focused on their sort of stability at the platform
But I will be doing a feature on on shortcuts include the video that
Christopher lolli me and him are doing in : very soon has done on shortcuts. It's literally being posted
I'm not really watched yet. But now I trust Christopher's fantastic opinion
so I'm gonna put it in the cards above you they'll probably pop up someone I will also be bringing in a
zapier or zapier
I could
Depends on how you say an expert very soon to be doing a feature all about how to set up your own process there
So guys a few final updates any do have launched a few new look changes
This wasn't really publicly put out to some extent. They obviously released it through the app updates and things like that
But again, this is a really nice addition to the na-do platform
I will be doing a refreshed review of any do very very soon on the channel
So do stay tuned if you want to know all of the lovely updates so Newton for those who know know is closing next week
later next week
It's gonna be a very sad day mainly because you know for me I worked with the Newton team for two years amazing product
Amazing team, but naturally it will be closing down
so if you're looking for Newton alternatives
Feel free to check out the blog as well as the video of them and finally although slightly not productive or productivity app focused
Headspace have a new edition called sleep sleep. My headspace will be a way for you to listen to stories
calming
Audio before you go to bed and that's a nice addition
I think there's a lot of these sleeping apps and they can really help you to calm yourself before you go to sleep

So let me know in the comments, but are missed anything
