Conductor Joins Meta, Giving Cloud Users Until Nov 20 to Export
Conductor is joining Meta, but its cloud service will go read-only on Nov 13 and begin deleting cloud data on Nov 20, forcing users to migrate or export; local app support runs to early 2027.
Conductor, a coding-agent tool launched in July 2025, is joining Meta. The company says Conductor will keep working as normal until early next year, but Conductor Cloud will shut down over the next few weeks.
Conductor Cloud becomes read-only on Nov 13, with active subscribers refunded, and shuts down on Nov 20, when deletion of cloud user data begins. The company says it has big plans for a next interface and expects something new early next year.
Key takeaways
- No new sign-ups begin Nov 4; existing free users cannot upgrade to pro, while pro users keep pro features for free.
- Cloud workspaces can be transferred to local by right-clicking a workspace and choosing Transfer to local; a full data export is available under Settings → Account → Export data.
- Local Conductor will continue to receive new models and critical bug fixes until early 2027, when the app starts winding down.
- The company says it has never sold or trained on Conductor user data and will delete all user data when the app shuts down in early 2027.

Cloud shutdown timeline draws migration complaints
The Nov 13 read-only and Nov 20 deletion dates are called very aggressive. Conductor is described as a main development tool, making the shutdown disruptive.
Replacement tools already circulating
Orca and Herdr are suggested for trials. One organization reports taking a refund and moving to t3.codes after having just committed to Conductor Cloud.
Acquisition prompts sell-out and open-source questions
The acquisition prompted questions about the team's decision. One asks why the team sold out, while another asks why Conductor cannot be open sourced instead of forcing a migration.
Community ties and support offered
Conductor's launch is traced to a Hacker News post in July 2025, and the team says it is available to answer questions.
