The Bending Spoons’ app that probably comes closed (incredibly) to the “cloudy” Evernote is Immuni: a free app (iOS and Android only) used in Italy to trace and inform about Covid. It was downloaded by 15mil. people (or more), since it was officially supported and promoted by the government in 2020. The trace part of it never fully worked, but probably this was due to the lack of NHS expertise to share data. Nevertheless - I guess - BS developed some skills in dealing with privacy, dashboard, and cloud stuff.
They were also able to rise from investors in the summer $340 mil, which were probably used - in part or in full - for the acquisition.
