Conductor Is Joining Meta: Conductor Cloud Shuts Down November 20

If you run coding agents in Conductor Cloud, you have a deadline. Conductor announced on November 4, 2026 that it's joining Meta, and Conductor Cloud shuts down on November 20. That's the day Conductor begins deleting Cloud user data.

What happened

Conductor runs a team of coding agents at once. Its homepage says it runs "the first-party Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode agents under the hood," and you bring your own subscriptions and keys. Conductor Cloud gave each agent its own sandbox on isolated microVMs, and you could also run Conductor locally on a Mac or from your phone.

On November 4, 2026, founder Charlie Holtz posted "Conductor is joining Meta," and changelog 0.93.0 announced it the same day. Meta confirmed the acquisition to TechCrunch but didn't share any deal details. TechCrunch says Conductor was founded in 2024; Conductor says it launched in July 2025. The homepage says it's "trusted by 100k+ builders," which is Conductor's own number.

The timeline

• November 4: No new sign-ups or app downloads. Existing free users can't upgrade, and Pro users keep Pro features for free.
• November 13: Conductor Cloud goes read-only. You can still read old chats and export data, but you can't send new messages. Active subscribers get a refund.
• November 20: Conductor Cloud shuts down, and Conductor begins deleting Cloud user data.
• Early 2027: Local Conductor keeps getting new models and critical bug fixes until then, and then starts winding down. Conductor says it will delete all Conductor user data when the app shuts down.

Conductor says it has never sold or trained on user data. It also says it will have "something new" for you to use early next year, with no details yet.

Get your work out

1. Open Conductor and find each cloud workspace.
2. Right-click it and choose Transfer to local to move the workspace and its chats to your Mac.
3. For a full archive, go to Settings → Account → Export data.
4. Do it before November 13, while you can still use the cloud normally. Questions go to Conductor's support email on the announcement page.

Here's how you get paid

My opinion, no income guaranteed: teams that built their agent workflow around Conductor now need a new setup on a deadline. Offer a one-day move:

• Export every workspace. Transfer each cloud workspace to local and pull a full data export, before the cloud goes read-only.
• Parallel agents on their own machines. Set up the agents they already used, like Claude Code or Codex, running side by side on machines they own, with their own subscriptions and keys.
• Write it down. Leave a short runbook, so the next tool change doesn't stall the team.
