Not content with just offering cloud storage and file syncing across multiple devices, it seems that Dropbox wants to get in on the productivity scene as well. According to reports, the company is apparently working on a productivity app called Project Composer which based on the description, sounds like an Evernote competitor.This was first discovered by Product Hunt where according to Maggie Bignell, one of Product Hunt’s users, described it as, “Really nice so far — some beautiful (beginnings of, it’s a bit of a mashup at the moment) typography and very clean interface (reminiscent of Evernote’s web experience). It allows multiple people to work on a note.”
“You can add tasks, images, dropbox files, tables all in line with your notes. It also prompts you to create a note for a meeting based on what’s on your calendar.” Heck, if that doesn’t sound like Evernote we don’t know what is. Even Bignell made some comparisons to it. However it seems that for now, the service appears to be in a private beta and not everyone with a Dropbox account is able to access it.
It also turns out that the service will integrate with notes taken by Hackpad accounts, which was another startup acquired by Dropbox last year. No word on when the service will officially launch, if at all, but we’ll be keeping an eye out for it.
