Berlin-based Moped had raised $1 million from Germany’s Earlybird Ventures, Lerer Ventures, SV Angel and Betaworks last year.

When contacted by The Next Web, a spokesperson for 6Wunderkinder described the deal as a technical acquisition:

The acquisition allows us to further cement Wunderlist as the one place to host all communication around your to-dos, whether it be real time conversations, files, notes or assigned tasks.

UPDATE: This story has been updated to clarify that 6Wunderkinder has acquired the source code behind Moped and is not responsible for the decision to shut it down.
