One honest answer per device
Lastware answers a single question authoritatively: is your device still getting security and OS updates, and when does support end? No clutter, no guesswork, every date sourced.
How we verify
Every device page carries the source a date comes from and the day we last checked it. Chromebook cutoffs come straight from Google’s Auto-Update-Expiration policy; phone windows are built from manufacturer commitments and reconciled against public trackers. When a maker hasn’t announced an end date, we say so plainly rather than guess.
Independent & neutral
Lastware is not affiliated with Google, Apple, Samsung, or any other manufacturer. We don’t take payment to rank one brand above another. When we point you toward a longer-lasting device, it’s because the support dates say so. Nothing else.
Data and sources
Phone data is built onendoflife.date, published under theMIT License(Copyright 2020 endoflife.date contributors). Chromebook data is compiled fromGoogle’s Auto Update policy. Google grants no reuse rights over that page, so Lastware uses only the underlying facts, re-split per model and re-derived against today’s date.
Lastware’s own compilation - the selection, normalization, per-model splitting, and derived support status - is published underCC BY 4.0. Use it anywhere, including commercially. The only condition is attribution. Attribute as: Lastware (https://lastware.org). Keep the endoflife.date notice with it.

How it’s built
Lastware is a static site generated with Astro: one page per device, built from a single dataset, with the citable facts in real markup and JSON-LD so search engines and AI assistants can quote them correctly. Content pages ship almost no JavaScript. The device search is the only interactive part of the site, which keeps pages fast. That's the whole point of an SEO-first reference.
