Apps shutdown, data where?
Users lose data yearly. Shutdowns strand.
1. The problem
Longtime app users lose data yearly. Shutdowns strand histories. Exports hide settings deep. Formats lock proprietary. The hardest part is regular requesting fast. A service might sunset months. That uncertainty makes it hard to own archives.
“Losing yearly stranded here. I need schedule builders with convert flows.”
2. What exists
GDPR tools, Takeout and guides free data, while stranding persists yearly. Tools cover majors only. Guides age interfaces. There is little help with schedule builders plus convert flows for owners.
3. The solution
The solution could be a own-archives engine. It could request takes simply scheduled. It could convert formats wisely open. Vaults could store encrypted. The goal would be owned histories, calm sunsets.
