Bending Spoons S.p.A. is an Italian technology company, founded in 2013 and based in Milan. The company is known primarily for mobile applications that it develops or acquires.[2]

Immuni

On 17 April 2020, the Italian government released a statement on its website announcing that Bending Spoons had been selected to design and develop Italy's official COVID-19 contact tracing app, Immuni.[3][4] The app was released on 1 June 2020.[5] It was initially released in four regions, then countrywide.[6]

The app did not receive significant adoption and successfully tracked less than 1% of the total confirmed positive cases reported during the period it was active.[7] The most commonly cited reasons for not using the app were the lack of perceived effectiveness and major technical issues.[8]

Immuni was decommissioned on December 31, 2022.[9]

Acquisitions

In September 2022, Bending Spoons acquired FiLMiC[10] and converted its video-recording app FiLMiC Pro to a subscription revenue model.[11] In December 2023, the original FiLMiC team were laid off, and development of FiLMiC Pro was continued in-house by Bending Spoons.[12]

In November 2022, Bending Spoons agreed to acquire Evernote.[13] The acquisition was concluded in January 2023.[14] In July 2023, Evernote laid off all of its existing staff and announced it would relocate to Europe to be closer to Bending Spoons' headquarters.[15] As of January 2025, no new update of Evernote has been released since March of 2022.

Bending Spoons made a series of acquisitions in 2024. In January, it acquired the assets of New York City-based mobile app developer Mosaic Group from IAC Inc.; subsequently, Mosaic's entire workforce of 330 staff members was laid off, as they were not part of the acquisition.[16][17] Also that month, Bending Spoons acquired Meetup, a social media platform for organizing in-person and virtual activities.[18][19] In April, the company announced that it would acquire Hopin, owner of the popular live streaming studio StreamYard.[20] Later in July, the company announced it had acquired digital publishing platform Issuu.[21] Also in July, the company agreed to acquire the Dutch file transfer service WeTransfer, then announced in September they were laying off 75% of the company's workforce.[22][23] In November, the company agreed to acquire video platform company Brightcove for $233 million.[24]
