We have hard news to share. We've decided to shut down Gadget. The platform will stay up until March 31, 2027, and nothing changes for your apps until then.

‍

First, thank you. Many of you built real businesses on Gadget, and some of you have been with us since the early days. We don't take your vote of confidence lightly and wish this weren’t happening.

‍

The tools developers use to build apps are changing fast. Keeping a full platform current across a complex, growing ecosystem takes more than we can keep doing well given current financial realities.

‍

What changes?

• Your existing apps keep running as normal, until March 31, 2027. You don't need to move anything today, but please start planning immediately.
• New applications cannot be started effective immediately. First-time deploys to production will be allowed until end of November. 
• Gadget support remains available until end of year. After that, the team will be focused on keeping the lights on and tending to critical issues. 

‍

Help with migrating. In the coming weeks we'll publish guides and tools for moving your app to other platforms. We'll email you when they're ready.

‍

The future of Gadget. If members of our community want to take over Gadget in some form, we're open to exploring that. Reach out via future@gadget.dev.

‍

If you're a Gadget partner, your partner manager will reach out. Anyone can contact our support team at support@gadget.dev.

‍

We know this brings real changes and challenges to your business. We are committed to helping you navigate this challenging period.

— Mo, Harry and the Gadget Team
