Bending Spoons

Bending Spoons S.p.A. is a technology company, founded in 2013 and based in Milan, Italy. The company is known primarily for mobile apps that it develops or acquires.

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. The app was released on 1 June 2020. It was initially released in four regions, then countrywide.

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. The most commonly cited reason for not using the app was the lack of perceived effectiveness.

Immuni was decommissioned on December 31, 2022.

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

In November 2022, Bending Spoons agreed to acquire Evernote. The acquisition was concluded in January 2023. 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.

In January 2024, Bending Spoons acquired Mosaic Group, a mobile app developer. The acquisition also involved the layoff of all 330 existing staff.

Also in January 2024, Bending Spoons acquired Meetup, a social media platform for organizing in-person and virtual activities.

In April 2024, Bending Spoons announced that it would acquire Hopin, owner of the popular live streaming studio StreamYard.
