Delibr
Delibr, the collaborative product-work document tool, is shutting down on 31 August 2026. The app stays fully functional until that date; after it, all data is permanently deleted. Delibr provides an export tool (email + API key) that produces a single JSON file of your teams, collections, and documents with their comments. Billing has already stopped: no subscriptions are charged after July 2026.

Quick answers
- Is it true that Delibr is shutting down — export your documents before 31 August 2026 or lose them?
- Yes — and the date has already passed (31 Aug 2026). Delibr was a paid SaaS product for collaborative product work — teams wrote and organized documents (with nested structure and comments) into collections, the kind of feature-spec and product-documentation writing product managers do.
- When did it take effect?
- 31 Aug 2026 (already passed). Verified against the vendor's own announcement.
- What should I use instead?
- Export your data before 31 August 2026 — this is the one thing that matters, and there is no stated grace period after the date.
What this means for you
Delibr was a paid SaaS product for collaborative product work — teams wrote and organized documents (with nested structure and comments) into collections, the kind of feature-spec and product-documentation writing product managers do. Delibr's own site now leads with a shutdown notice: "Delibr is shutting down August 31, 2026." The consequence to plan around is blunt and stated plainly on that page: "After the shutdown date, all data will be permanently deleted." Until then the service keeps working normally — "The application will remain fully functional until the shutdown date" — so there is no gradual read-only wind-down to warn you; access is full, and then it is gone. If any of your product specs, feature documents, or decision history live in Delibr, they are not migrating anywhere on their own. This is the kind of shutdown that hurts quietly: the tool works right up to the last day, which makes it easy to forget the deletion date until after it has passed.
Where to go
Export your data before 31 August 2026 — this is the one thing that matters, and there is no stated grace period after the date. Delibr provides an export tool that asks for your email and API key ("Enter your API key and email to get started") and returns "a single JSON file containing your teams, collections, and all documents with their full content and comments." Do it early rather than on the last day: a single JSON dump per account is easy to run now and impossible to run on 1 September. Because the export is JSON rather than a document format any editor opens, decide before the cutoff where those documents will live next — a product-documentation or wiki tool (Notion, Confluence, Google Docs, or a Markdown repo) — and, if you need the content readable rather than archived, plan the conversion from the JSON while you still have the live app to cross-check against. Billing has already wound down: Delibr states no subscriptions are charged after July 2026, so an active subscription is not what is keeping your data alive — the 31 August deletion applies regardless.
- Any product-documentation or collaborative-docs tool for the writing Delibr held — e.g. Notion, Confluence, or Google Docs — chosen before the cutoff so you have somewhere to put the exported content
- A plain Markdown/Git repository if you mainly need the documents preserved and version-controlled rather than a live collaborative editor
- The Delibr JSON export itself, kept as a permanent archive of teams, collections, documents, and comments even if you have not chosen a destination yet
Delibr — a paid SaaS tool for collaborative product work, where teams wrote and organized structured documents with comments into collections — is shutting down. Its own site now opens with the notice: “Delibr is shutting down August 31, 2026.”
What happens, and when
The wind-down has no soft landing. Delibr says “The application will remain fully functional until the shutdown date” — so there is no read-only period, no gradual feature removal to remind you the end is coming. The app works normally, and then on 31 August 2026 it stops. After that, the notice is explicit: “After the shutdown date, all data will be permanently deleted.”
Billing has already been switched off — Delibr states no subscriptions are charged after July 2026 — so paying customers should not assume an active subscription is protecting their data. The deletion date applies whether or not you are still being billed.
Who is affected
Anyone with product specs, feature documents, roadmapping notes, or decision history stored in Delibr. If your team used it as the home for product-management writing, that content is not moving anywhere on its own.
What to do — export now
Delibr provides an export tool that returns “a single JSON file containing your teams, collections, and all documents with their full content and comments.” It asks for your email and API key to run. The single most important action is to run that export before 31 August 2026; there is no stated grace period afterward, and the app that produces the file goes away with everything else.
Because the export is JSON, not a document format an editor opens directly, treat the export as step one and the destination as step two: pick where these documents will live next — a product-documentation or wiki tool (Notion, Confluence, Google Docs), or a Markdown/Git repository if you mainly need them preserved — and convert the JSON while the live app is still around to check against. This is a shutdown that punishes waiting: the tool feels fine until the day it is gone, and the data goes with it.
Entry changelog
- — last reviewed.
- — Entry created from Delibr's official shutdown notice at delibr.com, which states the shutdown date (31 August 2026), that all data is permanently deleted after it, that the app stays fully functional until then, that subscriptions stop being charged after July 2026, and describes the JSON export tool (email + API key). Surfaced via Layer-2 discovery search; written from Delibr's own page, not the search snippet that surfaced it. Not machine-detectable (a hosted SaaS with no package/image/runtime fingerprint), so no detect fingerprint added.
- — The 31 August 2026 shutdown date has arrived; status moved to passed. Per Delibr's notice the app stops working and data is permanently deleted after this date — anyone who has not run the JSON export has now lost access.
