What happens to my app if Lovable shuts down?

The shutdown scenario is worth thinking through once, and Lovable's answer is unusually good. Your app is not proprietary platform magic; it is a standard React codebase (in your GitHub repository, if you enabled sync) talking to a Supabase database (in your own Supabase account). Neither of those depends on Lovable's continued existence.

In a hypothetical shutdown, the recovery is mechanical: deploy the repo to Vercel or Netlify, confirm the environment variables point at your Supabase project, and move your domain's DNS. Users would experience, at worst, a brief migration window. What you would permanently lose is the AI editor itself, meaning future feature development would happen in Cursor, Claude Code, or with a developer, on a codebase all of those tools understand natively.

For context on likelihood: Lovable is a venture-backed Swedish company that became one of Europe's fastest-growing startups on this product, so imminent disappearance is not the realistic worry. The exercise matters because it reveals the structural difference between builders that give you code and builders that rent you an app. Lovable is firmly in the first camp.

The one-line insurance policy remains the same as every other risk on the platform: turn on GitHub sync today. Every doomsday scenario shrinks to a DNS change when the code already lives in your hands.
