Conductor, a Mac app for running several coding agents in parallel, announced on November 4, 2026 that it is joining Meta. The product launched in July 2025. The announcement gives no deal terms.
The timeline for users is fixed.
November 4: no new sign-ups or downloads. Existing free users cannot upgrade, and Pro users keep Pro features for free.
November 13: Conductor Cloud workspaces become read-only. Old chats can be read and exported, but no new messages can be sent. Active subscribers get a refund.
November 20: Conductor Cloud shuts down and deletion of cloud user data begins.
The local Mac app keeps working and will receive new models and critical bug fixes until early 2027, then wind down. Conductor says it will delete all user data when the app shuts down, and that it has never sold or trained on user data.
Users can move a cloud workspace and its chats to their Mac with Transfer to local, or download everything from Settings, Account, Export data. The team says it plans to ship something new early next year.
Why this matters
Teams that built daily work on a third-party agent tool now have 11 days from the announcement to the cloud shutdown. The lesson applies to every agent tool: know where sessions and history live, and keep an export path tested before you need it.
