App Sunset Readiness Kit

The idea in one paragraph

Every app you depend on will end someday - sometimes with a year's warning, sometimes with an in-app notice nobody expected. This skill is a general readiness kit for any shutdown announcement: inventory what you keep in the app, export it before the cutoff, and line up a replacement, practiced on real cases like Samsung News and Samsung Free.

What it is built on

• Samsung News will shut down on 2026-12-21 at 00:00 UTC; the app, its widget, and the leftmost home-screen media panel all stop, and Samsung will delete the app's data, profiles, and personalization settings afterward.
• Samsung News is the fourth name in a preloaded Galaxy feed lineage - Bixby Home (2017), Samsung Daily (2019), Samsung Free (2020), Samsung News (2023) - and Samsung Free itself was discontinued on 2025-12-16.
• Samsung gave no reason for the Samsung News shutdown and announced no successor, showing that even built-in, default apps can disappear without explanation.

Workflow

1. Read the notice like an auditor (input: the shutdown announcement -> output: a facts table). Extract the cutoff date and time, what exactly stops working, what happens to your data, and which regions are confirmed. Note what is not said - reasons, successors, and unconfirmed regions.
2. Inventory your stake (input: your usage of the app -> output: a stake list). List everything you would lose: saved content, settings, history, subscriptions, and workflows that start in the app.
3. Export before the cutoff (input: the stake list -> output: verified exports). Export each item in a durable, app-independent format. Verify you can open the exports outside the app. Assume anything left inside after the cutoff is gone.
4. Line up the replacement (input: your core use cases -> output: a replacement shortlist). For each use case, name one primary replacement and test it before the cutoff. Prefer options that let you export your data, so the next shutdown hurts less.
5. Schedule the exit (input: the cutoff date -> output: a countdown plan). Work backward from the cutoff: exports done two weeks before, replacement tested one week before, app removed on your own terms before the deadline.

What good looks like

A one-page exit plan per app: the cutoff, your exports (verified and stored outside the app), a tested replacement, and a calendar reminder that fired before the deadline. The shutdown is an inconvenience, not a loss.
