Apini ends on 30 September 2026 Apini is being discontinued. 30 September 2026 is the last day the app and its cloud services can be used. After that the servers are switched off. The app stops working, and anything still in Apini can no longer be retrieved. If you use Apini, please export what you want to keep before then. Open your Honeycomb, open the three-dots menu and choose “Export Excel”, or open apini.cloud in a browser and copy your items over to other systems. If you have a lot of Honeycombs, write to info@apinilabs.com and we’ll prepare a bulk export for you while the system is still running. The free and open building blocks Apini was built on stay free and open. We’re working on giving them a lasting home, independent of any single company - more on that soon. Today you can find them at labfreed.org.
