Save Your Data from Dying Platforms โ AI agent that monitors platforms you use and proactively exports your data before they shut down. Integrates with 50+ platforms, monitors for acquisition/closure signals, and backs up everything to your private cloud storage. $5/month.
Dead Platform Rescue is a proactive data backup service that monitors the platforms you use and automatically exports your data before they shut down or get acquired. You connect your accounts once, we continuously monitor for closure signals (dropping users, no updates, acquisition rumors, bankruptcy filings), and automatically back up everything to your private cloud storage. When a platform dies โ and they all eventually die โ you don't lose your data, your followers, your content, or your history.
Users never lose data to platform closures again. Zero-effort continuous backup. Their entire digital footprint is safe regardless of what happens to individual platforms.
Connect your accounts once: social media (Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Snapchat, Reddit), blogs and websites (WordPress, Medium, Tumblr, Blogger), photo platforms (Flickr, 500px, Imgur, Google Photos), note-taking (Evernote, Notion, Google Keep), bookmarks (Pinterest, Pocket, Instapaper), and general cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive). OAuth-based, read-only access. No password storage.
Agent continuously monitors connected platforms for health signals: user growth/decline, last update date, news about acquisition or shutdown, employee layoff patterns, traffic Alexa rank trends, and social sentiment. When a platform shows distress signals, you get an alert 30โ60 days before potential shutdown โ time to export.
Configure backup frequency per platform (daily, weekly, monthly). Agent automatically exports: posts, photos, videos, comments, messages, followers/following lists, likes, reviews, bookmarks, notes. All structured and organized in your private cloud storage. Incremental backups โ only new content since last export.
When a platform is confirmed dying, one button triggers emergency full export. Prioritizes most recent data, most-engaged content, and anything not already backed up. Fast-track mode to beat the shutdown deadline.
All your backed-up data is searchable and browsable from a single dashboard. Cross-platform search across all your archived content. See your complete digital footprint in one place.
Export your follower/following lists, friend lists, connections. When platforms die, you still have the contact info for everyone you connected with. Import into alternative platforms.
If a platform shuts down and a new alternative emerges (e.g., Mastodon after Twitter chaos), agent helps you cross-post your backup content to new platforms. Bulk re-post with platform-appropriate formatting.
Designate beneficiaries who can access your archived data if you die. Set instructions for what should happen to your digital presence. Your data doesn't disappear when you do.

| Metric | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Export Success Rate | If backup fails, user loses data anyway. Must be near 100%. |
| Emergency Export Adoption | When a platform dies, did users actually use the emergency feature? Low adoption = feature not trusted. |
| Time-to-export | Average time from platform announcement to full export. Should be <7 days for most users. |
| Storage Utilization | Are users' archives growing? Means the service is actually backing up new content. |
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Platform API changes break exports | Build abstraction layer per platform. Update when APIs change. Monitor for deprecations. |
| Platform rate limits slow exports | Respect rate limits. Schedule exports off-peak. Use batching to stay within limits. |
| Users abandon the service | Send quarterly "backup health reports" showing what's protected and what's new. |
| Mass platform closures (rare) | Have priority tiers for emergency export queue. Don't let everyone export simultaneously. |
| Security of backed-up data | End-to-end encryption. User controls keys. SOC2 compliance for upper tiers. |
