AI tools build fast. They don’t always build safe.
These are the kinds of issues AI tools leave behind — and your users will find them before you do.
Anyone can access your backend
Your app’s behind-the-scenes features might be open to anyone who knows where to look.
Passwords & keys left visible
Private credentials can accidentally end up baked into your app where anyone can find them.
User data isn’t protected
One user might be able to see or change another user’s info — including emails and payments.
Important logic is easy to bypass
Things like payment checks or credit limits running in the browser can be worked around.
No safety net for changes
Without automated checks, things can break silently and you won’t know until your users tell you.
Users can get locked out
If someone forgets their password and there’s no way to reset it, they’re stuck — and they’ll blame your app.
Every issue comes with proof and a clear fix.
Anyone can trigger payments without being logged in
The part of your app that processes payments has a security check turned off. This is a default setting from the tools that built it, but it means anyone who finds the right URL can trigger payments without being logged in.
Code evidence
verify_jwt = false // default setting, needs to be changed for production
Suggested approach
Turn on the security check (one setting change) and add a login requirement. This ensures only logged-in users can trigger payments.

Expert methodology.
Automated execution.
A staff-engineer audit playbook, encoded and run by AI, so you get the depth of a human review at the speed of a scan.
Designed by a staff engineer
25+ years shipping production apps across frontend, backend, mobile, and infra. United Airlines, Airbnb, two Y Combinator-backed startups. That experience shapes every check the AI runs.
Every finding passes a verification gate
A separate AI re-reads each finding cold, with no access to the original reasoning, and scores confidence 1-10. Anything below 7 is dropped. No hallucinations, no generic checklists.
Code and design, in one pass
Most reviews cover one or the other. Ours covers both. A design background plus a deep engineering playbook, so UX and security land in the same report.
The risk is real, and documented
45% of AI-generated code ships with OWASP-class vulnerabilities (Veracode, 2025). Recent incidents: EnrichLead, Lovable CVE-2025-48757. Better to find it before your users do.
Three steps to knowing where you stand.
Share your app
Send a GitHub link or zip plus a quick description of what your app does. Takes about 10 minutes.
We review everything
A structured, multi-phase review covers security, code quality, UX, performance, accessibility, and architecture. No meetings, no standups, no calendar coordination.
Get a clear report
A prioritized list of findings with effort estimates. Read it when you have 5 minutes.
Fixed price. No surprises.

- Security check: logins, private data, hidden keys
We check every login flow, password reset, and permission boundary. If someone who shouldn't have access can get in, we'll find it.
- Overall app quality review
We look at how your code is organized, whether it follows good patterns, and flag anything that could cause problems as you grow.
- UX check: missing pages, broken forms, mobile issues
We walk through your app the way a real user would. Missing error pages, forms that don't validate, layouts that break on phones - it all goes in the report.
- Scan for accidentally exposed passwords or keys
We scan your entire codebase for API keys, database credentials, and tokens that might be exposed in your source code or environment.
- Clear report with what to fix and where to start
Every finding includes what's wrong, why it matters, how hard it is to fix, and what to do first. No jargon.
Advanced
The deepest review available.
$1499
- Everything in Essential
Includes every check from the Essential audit.
- Speed & performance check
We measure load times, bundle sizes, and rendering performance. If your app feels slow, we'll tell you exactly why.
- Accessibility review (can everyone use your app?)
We check your app against WCAG 2.1 AA standards - screen readers, keyboard navigation, color contrast, and more.
- Architecture map of your codebase
A visual breakdown of how your app is built - components, services, data flow.
- Is your app built to grow?
We evaluate your database design, API structure, and state management to see if your architecture can handle 10x the users.
- Review of connected tools & services
We review every third-party service, SDK, and API integration for security, reliability, and vendor lock-in risks.
- Full launch-readiness roadmap
A prioritized action plan covering everything: what to fix now, what can wait, and what to tackle before your next growth milestone.
- 30-minute report walkthrough call
After delivery, we hop on a 30-minute call to walk you through every finding, answer questions, and help you decide what to tackle first.

Common questions
Yes — this is literally made for you. Most of our clients build with AI tools. You can share a GitHub link, a zip export, or just give us access to the platform you used.
Absolutely. Every finding is written in plain language — what’s wrong, why it matters, and how hard it is to fix. No confusing jargon, no gatekeeping.
Yes! After the audit, we can quote the fix work for anything you want sorted. Most people start with the audit to see the full picture, then decide what to tackle first.
Essential covers security, code quality, and UX - everything you need to know if your app is safe to launch. Advanced adds performance testing, accessibility review, an architecture map, a full launch-readiness roadmap, and a 30-minute walkthrough call after delivery. Not sure which one fits? See the comparison table or .
You'll get your report within 1 business days of code access confirmation. Same turnaround for both Essential and Advanced tiers.
Most scanners run a generic checklist and hand you a list of vulnerability IDs. We go deeper — security, code quality, and UX in one review, with every finding tied to specific files in your codebase. You get plain-language explanations, effort estimates, and a prioritized fix list. The report covers things scanners miss entirely: confusing user flows, business logic gaps, and architectural patterns that won’t scale.
If it’s a web or mobile app, we can review it. React, React Native, Next.js, Vue, Node.js, TypeScript, Supabase, Firebase, iOS, macOS — you name it. Not sure? Just ask.
No. We read through your code directly. That means we can catch structural issues, security gaps, and quality problems from the code itself, but we won’t catch things that only show up when real users are using it.
Your code stays on a single local machine during the audit. It’s never uploaded to cloud storage or synced anywhere. After the report is delivered, we keep the code for 90 days in case you have follow-up questions, then permanently delete it.
Yes. Your code is processed through Anthropic’s AI for analysis. They’re the only third-party service that touches your code, and they don’t use it for training. Your code is never sent to OpenAI, Google, or any other provider. Every finding is verified against your actual code before it goes in the report.

No. This is a thorough, professional review at a point in time. No audit can catch everything. You’ll get a clear picture of what we found, with evidence and recommendations for each issue.
