Now Software suspends day-to-day operations

“Now Software, the company that for many years created and sold Now Up-To-Date and Contact to Mac users, has ceased day-to-day operations as of [yesterday],” Steven Sande reports for TUAW.

“For those of us who have watched Now Software go from a thriving software company to a floundering mess over the past few years, this is not entirely surprising. NightHawk [Now X] had reached legendary vaporware status and it appeared that it would never really come out in a full working form,” Sande reports. “Many Now Up-To-Date and Contact users simply gave up and moved to other packages such as the popular Daylite from Marketcircle. Without an iPhone companion app, Now Up-To-Date and Contact and NightHawk simply became irrelevant to most Mac users.”
