Summary

Lovable highlights “app sprawl,” in which inactive but still published projects may retain live pages, backend connections, credentials, and personal data, creating security, maintenance, and ownership risks. Its Enterprise-plan abandoned project clean-up feature allows workspace admins and owners to mark projects as abandoned after a configurable inactivity period, defaulting to 60 days, and optionally auto-delete them after a 7-, 14-, or 30-day grace period. Activity includes editing, chatting in the editor, visits to published apps excluding bots, or backend-function calls, while opening, previewing, or publishing alone does not reset the timer. Users with edit access receive email and in-project warnings before deletion and can prevent it by interacting with or explicitly keeping the project; deleted projects remain recoverable for 60 days, though their published app goes offline, backend pauses, and reclaimed lovable.app addresses may not be recoverable. The announcement also promotes a separate Halloween-themed fictional game that does not access real projects.
