Brittle Under Real Load
It worked in the demo. Then real users showed up, and crashes and timeouts started appearing where nothing was tested.
You moved fast - AI tools, an offshore team, or a cheap dev shop got you a working demo. Now it's crashing, insecure, or nobody can explain why every new feature breaks three others. Free audit first. Fixed-price repair second.
Definition
Fix Your App is a rescue and remediation service for products that were built fast and are now failing - vibe-coded with AI tools, built by a freelancer or offshore team who's gone dark, or duct-taped together over years of rushed updates. We start with a free codebase audit that tells you, in plain English, exactly what's broken and what it'll take to fix. If you proceed, we scope a fixed-price repair - not an open-ended hourly engagement - rebuild what needs rebuilding, and hand you back a documented, production-ready app.
The Hard Truth
It worked in the demo. Then real users showed up, and crashes and timeouts started appearing where nothing was tested.
Missing auth checks, no input validation, no encryption on sensitive data - the issues an AI tool doesn't flag on its own.
Adding one new feature breaks three others, because the architecture was never designed to be extended - only demoed.
What We Actually Do
We review your entire codebase, architecture, and deployment setup, and hand you a plain-English report of what's broken and why. Free, no obligation.
Not everything needs fixing on day one. We separate what's critically broken from what's just messy, ranked against your actual timeline and budget.
Senior engineers rebuild the broken parts to production standards - clean architecture, security best practices, real test coverage.
Full documentation and a code walkthrough for your team - we create capability, not dependency on us.
Stay with us on retainer as you grow, or take the fixed, documented app and go fully independent - either way it's yours.
We sign an NDA before any code, business logic, or sensitive information changes hands - standard practice, not an upsell.
Who This Is For
You used an AI tool to build an MVP at lightning speed. It worked - until real users arrived. We stabilize what you built and make it scalable without starting over.
An offshore team or freelancer promised the world and delivered a half-finished, buggy app before going dark. We pick up the pieces and finish the job.
Years of rushed updates have left the app duct-taped together and every new feature is a gamble. We audit, clean, and modernize without breaking what works.

In almost every case, yes. We've worked on apps built on scaffolded AI code, apps stitched together by several different freelancers, and apps running in production with zero test coverage. We start with a free audit, not assumptions - if it's fixable, we'll tell you exactly how and what it costs.
That's exactly who this service is for. AI-generated codebases fail in predictable, recurring patterns - missing auth checks, no input validation, brittle architecture that breaks under real user load. We know what to look for because we've seen it dozens of times.
Not necessarily, and we won't recommend it unless it's genuinely the faster path. Our goal is to save as much of your existing work as possible - we rebuild what needs rebuilding, fix what can be fixed, and leave the rest alone.
Every app is different, which is why we start with a free audit. Once we know what's actually broken, we scope the work and give you a fixed price and timeline before anything is billed. Critical fixes can land in days; a real architectural rebuild can take weeks.
Yes - this is one of the most common situations we're brought in for. We don't need the original developer, their notes, or an explanation of what they built. We read unfamiliar codebases for a living; give us repository access and we'll take it from there.
Every day your app stays broken costs you users and trust. The audit is free. The fix is permanent.
