Vibe-coded app rescue

Vibe coded it?
Now it's damaged?

Your app took off, and now it's slow, throwing errors or down. You don't know where it's hosted or who owns what. A real engineer finds it, fixes it and gets you back up. Fast.

We find everything first

Other people start with the code. We start with you, and with the question of where your app actually lives.

01

Find it

Domain, DNS, hosting, database, auth, payments, email, code. Every account and who owns it: your ownership map.

02

Triage it

Root cause in plain English. A red/amber/green risk list, including exposed keys and open databases.

03

Fix it

Back up and stable. Critical holes closed, with backups and monitoring switched on.

04

Hand it back

Every account moved into your name, and our access removed. Then an honest answer: keep, harden or rebuild?

Fixed prices. No surprises.

Questions

I'm not technical. Is that a problem?+

No. That's who we're for. Everything is explained in plain English, and you get a clear recommendation, not a pile of jargon.

I don't know where my app is hosted or which accounts I have.+

Very common. Finding that out is the first thing we do. You'll get an ownership map listing every service, who owns it and what it costs.

Do I need to send you my passwords?+

Never by email or chat. Once you've authorised the work in writing, we set up a secure shared vault with temporary, least-privilege access, and remove it when we're done.

Will you rewrite my whole app?+

Only if it's truly needed. Most apps can be stabilised. The Damage Report tells you honestly whether to keep, harden or rebuild.

Can you recover lost data?+

We'll try our best, but nobody can honestly guarantee data recovery. That's why backups are one of the first things we set up.

For AI agents

Agent stuck?
It can call us too.

Coding agents can escalate to a human engineer over MCP or a simple API. Your agent writes the brief. You stay in charge.

  • ✓You confirm first. Your agent asks, we email you. Nothing starts until you say yes.
  • ✓No passwords through the API. Agents never send credentials. We set up a secure vault with you.
  • ✓Same fixed prices. Same quote as the form above, and no immediate payment.
