Conductor joins Meta: export cloud work before November 20

byAlex R. •November 05, 2026

4 November 2026 · The Useful Byte / SysSeder

Conductor announced its move to Meta. Existing Cloud users should prepare their exports.

The dates that matter

13 November 2026: Cloud becomes read-only. Existing chats and exports remain accessible, but messaging stops.
20 November 2026: Cloud shuts down and data deletion begins. Export beforehand.

The local app gets model updates and critical fixes until early 2027. Local wind-down starts then, with no precise closure date.

Move the workspace, then check the result

The 0.93.0 changelog explains how: right-click a cloud workspace and choose Transfer to local to bring it and its chats onto your Mac. For a complete data download, use Settings → Account → Export data.

Our suggested checks:

Inventory active work. Note which projects depend on cloud workspaces and who needs the context.
Verify the copy. Open the transferred workspace and downloaded archive. Check important chats, files and unfinished changes rather than assuming the export contains everything you need.
Protect the backup. Keep project archives in an access-controlled location. Coding conversations can contain internal details even when the repository itself is backed up elsewhere.
Test the local workflow. Run a small task before relying on that setup for important work.

These are preparation recommendations, not a transfer test we performed. A local copy can preserve continuity now, but teams should also choose a longer-term home for their workflow.
