You vibe-coded a working app. Now you need to know what's actually under the hood.

Vibe coding is great for getting from idea to demo. It's bad at telling you which parts are real, which are stitched together with placeholder logic, and which will quietly fail the moment a real user shows up. We read the code so you don't have to.

Who this is for

Founders who built fast and want to know what they shipped.

If two of these are true, you are the person we wrote this page for.

Solo / non-technical

You're the founder, designer, and engineer

You used Lovable, Bolt, v0, or Replit to build the app. There is no engineer on the team yet. The app "works" but you don't actually know why.

Pre-launch nerves

Paying users are about to touch this

You're days from a launch, a pilot, or an investor demo. You want a senior to look at it before customers do — and tell you if it's safe.

Inheriting a codebase

An agency or contractor handed it to you

Someone else vibe-coded it. You own it now. You need to know what works, what's borrowed, and what to budget for next.

What we check

Twelve places where vibe-coded apps quietly break.

Patterns we see in every Lovable/Bolt/Replit codebase we audit. We grade each one.

Auth flows that look right but skip checks
Service-role keys exposed to the browser
Database tables open to any user
Stripe handlers that don't verify webhooks
"Working" features that secretly hardcode data
LLM calls with no spend ceiling
No backups, no PITR, no plan
Deploys that happen by clicking a button
Errors swallowed by try/catch with comments
Email/password reset flows that don't actually send
Account ownership locked to one platform
Dependencies pinned to versions with known CVEs

Red flags

If any of these describe your app, book the audit before launch.

These aren't dealbreakers — they're the patterns we find in 90% of vibe-coded codebases. Most are fixable in a week.

F-01Critical

The AI told you it was secure

Lovable, Bolt, and Cursor will confidently tell you auth is "set up" without telling you the rules are wrong. Confidence ≠ correctness.

F-02Critical

You can't explain how a user logs in

If you don't know what protects your private routes, neither does the AI. We map it for you, in plain English.

F-03High

You found "TODO" or "// fix me" in the code

The AI left a placeholder. Maybe it works in the demo. Maybe it 500s for half your users. We find them all.

F-04High

You only test it logged in as yourself

Single-account testing hides the entire class of bugs that hits in production: cross-tenant leakage, race conditions, mis-scoped queries.

F-05High

Your secrets are in a .env file in the repo

We open every codebase to a checked-in .env at least once a month. Rotation plan included in the audit.

F-06Worth checking

You can't deploy without the AI tool

If your platform disappeared tomorrow, can you still run your business? We check exit paths and ownership.

Deliverables

What you get on Friday.

A founder-readable PDF, a fix list a developer can execute, and a 60-minute call.

Founder summary (1 page)

Plain English. Three things to fix this week. Three things to plan for. One thing to not worry about. Shareable with your cofounder, your investor, your board.

Risk register (8–18 findings)

Each finding is severity-graded, with effort, owner, the exact file, and the fix. Sorted so you start at the top.

Remediation plan

Three horizons: this-week, this-month, this-quarter. With effort totals. With "we'd do this ourselves" vs "your contractor can do this."

60-minute walkthrough

Live call. Bring your developer if you have one. We answer "what do I do first," "what can wait," and "is this safe to launch."

FAQ

Questions vibe-code founders ask before booking.

01 What counts as a vibe-coded app?

Anything built primarily by describing what you want to an AI tool — Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor, Claude Code — without a senior engineer reviewing every change. Not an insult; a category. We've audited apps from every one of those tools.

02 Can you audit it if I don't have a developer?

Yes. Most of our vibe-code clients are solo founders without an engineer. We write the report so you can hand it to a contractor or use it as a prompt-set for the AI tool itself. If you'd rather we just fix things, see the Production Hardening Sprint.

03 Do you fix things or only report?

The audit is read-only — we don't touch your code. If you want fixes implemented, we offer a Production Hardening Sprint as a follow-on. About 60% of audit clients book one.

04 How long does it take?

Five working days from intake to walkthrough. We compress to three days for urgent pre-launch reviews. We don't recommend less than three.

05 Will you tell me if I shouldn't launch?

Yes. About one in eight engagements ends with us recommending a delay. We'd rather be the awkward voice now than write the post-mortem later.

06 Is my code confidential?

NDA-first. Read-only access. No model training on your code, ever. Local working copies wiped within 30 days of close. Full details in our privacy policy.

If this isn't quite right

Security-focused

AI App Security Audit

Tighter scope, security-only. For teams worried specifically about data leaks and broken auth.

See security audit →

Implementation

Production Hardening Sprint

Two weeks, fixes implemented by us. The natural next step after the audit.

See hardening →

Ongoing

Fractional CTO

If you want a senior on retainer who'll keep watch as you ship.
