Title: Jules retirement: clients and CLI removed Author: Arran Posted: 2026-11-10 Revision: 2 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Installed: app-misc/kjules Display-If-Installed: app-misc/flutter-jules Display-If-Installed: app-misc/flutter-jules-bin Display-If-Installed: dev-util/jules-bin Google announced on 29 October 2026 that its Jules asynchronous coding service will wind down on 31 December 2026. Users can finish Jules sessions until 11 November 2026. After 11 November, Jules will be read-only until the final shutdown. Consequently, this overlay is retiring the following clients and their automatic update workflows: app-misc/kjules app-misc/flutter-jules app-misc/flutter-jules-bin dev-util/jules-bin Before shutdown, export any Jules settings, scheduled tasks, environment variables, setup scripts, memories, and session history you wish to keep. Code, branches and pull requests already stored on GitHub remain there. Keep exports containing environment variables or other secrets secure. If you installed these packages, remove them from the world set and uninstall them when no longer needed: emerge --deselect app-misc/kjules app-misc/flutter-jules app-misc/flutter-jules-bin dev-util/jules-bin emerge --ask --depclean Google mentions Antigravity as part of its ongoing agentic development work, but has not announced automatic migration of Jules data to it.
