For founders after Lovable, Bolt, Replit or Cursor

It works. You have users. You're not sure it's safe to take their money.

You did the hard part - you found out people want it. Now every fix breaks something else, the paywall can be skipped from the browser, and you don't know what you don't know. Vibe coding validates. Engineers make it last. We're both - and we build with Claude Code too.

You'll recognise this

You're at 80%. The last 20% isn't more prompting - it's engineering: payments that reconcile, a backend that doesn't leak, environments that don't share a database.

You've read about the exposed API keys, the subscription check that lives in the front end, the missing row-level security. You've asked the model if your app is secure. It said yes.

The token bill is climbing, the app is slower every week, and you'd love someone senior to just look at it and tell you honestly: harden or rebuild.

What we check first

A review in days. A plan you can act on - with us or without.

Access controlRow-level security, who can read whose data, admin routes, what an anonymous request can reach.
SecretsKeys in the bundle, in git history, in client-side code. Rotation. Service accounts with more rights than they need.
PaymentsWebhooks verified, entitlements checked server-side, trials and refunds reconciled with the store or Stripe.
EnvironmentsDev, staging, production - separate databases, separate keys, a way to roll back.
Data modelSchema, migrations, indexes, what happens at 10× the rows. Where personal data lives - and whether that's in the EU.
Tests & CIIs there anything that fails before users do? A pipeline that deploys the same way twice.
Rate limits & costAbuse paths, runaway LLM calls, the token bill as a security problem.
The honest callHarden what's working; rebuild only where the risk math forces it. Written down, with what to do first.
Then

We take it to production, and we stay until it's boring.

A fixed scope to ship: the review's "do first" list, done, deployed, with tests and a pipeline. You see a clickable build every week and pay by milestone.

Then, if you want it, we keep the lights on: monitoring, upgrades, the store review that comes back, the feature your biggest customer asked for. Or we hand over to the engineer you hire and help you hire them.

Your repo, your accounts, your data. We never become the thing you need rescuing from.

We ship with AI on our own products
First server to public product in days
An AI-tooling product of ours - MCP, OAuth 2.1, EU hosting, ~1,000 tests - built with Claude Code and an agent pipeline. We know exactly where the tools are brilliant and where they quietly lie.
Payments and stores, at scale
Subscriptions, trials and paywalls on consumer apps with millions of users. We've seen every way a receipt can fail to reconcile.
Regulated data, since 2012
Telemedicine and industrial systems where "it works" was never the bar. "It's secure, and we can prove it" was.
What this is not

Not "rebuild from scratch, six months, six figures."

We're not against vibe coding. You used the fastest way to find out whether anyone cares - that's the method, and we use it ourselves. What you built is a working specification. Don't pay for the same app twice.

We're not a 24-hour fix from a marketplace either. A patch you can't read, from someone you'll never reach again, isn't production.

We're not selling fear. The point is that you sleep, and your users' data stays where it should.

Send the repo link and a sentence about what scares you most. We'll tell you what we'd fix first.

We’re built for fast communication: no forms, no briefs, no call to book. Just write - a senior on the team replies directly.

From a vibe-coded app to a production-ready product

Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0 and Cursor have changed who gets to build software. A product manager, a salesperson, a clinician or a shop owner can now put a working app in front of customers in a weekend. Many do, and many find customers. Then they hit the wall every generation of builders hits: the distance between "it works in the demo" and "it works for a thousand strangers who are paying for it".

That distance is not more prompting. It's engineering: access control that lives on the server, secrets that aren't shipped to the browser, payments that reconcile with the store, a database that survives growth, tests that fail before users do, and a way to deploy the same thing twice. We've put the founder's version of this list into a vibe-coded app security checklist you can run yourself before calling anyone.

"It works" is not "it's secure"

The most common findings in vibe-coded apps are not exotic. API keys committed to a public repo. A subscription check that runs in the front end and can be bypassed by editing two lines of CSS. A Supabase project without row-level security, so any logged-in user can read every row. Passwords or health data stored in plain text. None of these are visible from the UI, and the model that wrote them will confidently tell you they're fine. A senior engineer finds them in an afternoon.

Harden or rebuild?

The reflex answer from traditional development teams is "rebuild from scratch - six months, six figures". It's usually wrong. What you built is a working specification: it encodes every decision you made while talking to customers, and that is the expensive part. Our default is to harden what's working and rebuild only where the risk math forces it - a payments flow, a data layer, an auth system. We write the call down, with reasons, so you can take it to anyone.

Where your users' data lives

If your users are in Europe, where the data sits is not a detail. Default regions, third-party AI calls and analytics SDKs can put personal data outside the EU without you deciding anything. We host in the EU, we know which services to keep at arm's length, and we document what goes where - the kind of answer a corporate customer or a regulator will eventually ask for.

Who this is for

Founders with a vibe-coded product and real users or revenue, who need it to be safe, maintainable and ready to grow. Companies where a business unit built something in Lovable and IT now owns the risk without owning the code. Not for ideas that haven't been tested yet - for those, start with should you build it? - and not for projects a contractor abandoned mid-way, which is a different problem covered under software project rescue.

Frequently asked

Do I have to leave Lovable / Bolt / Cursor?

Not necessarily. Many apps stay on their stack with a proper backend, auth and payments behind them. We'll tell you if the platform itself is the risk.

How long does the review take?

Days. You get a written list ordered by risk: what to fix before taking another payment, what can wait, what to never touch.

Will you judge the code?

No. You validated a product faster than most funded teams. We've shipped AI-generated code to production ourselves; the job is making it last, not grading it.

Can you get it into the App Store?

Yes - native and cross-platform mobile is in the team, and so is the store review process, which has its own rules about subscriptions and data.

What happens after launch?

Your choice: we stay and run it, or we hand over to an engineer you hire - and help you hire them. The repo and accounts are yours either way.
