Your AI-Built App Got You This Far. Let's Get It the Rest of the Way.
Prototyped something real with Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, or v0 and now it's stuck? Synclovis engineers step in, review what the AI actually built, close the gaps, and take it to a launch you can trust.
Six Signs Your AI-Generated App Needs a Second Pair of Eyes
AI coding tools are genuinely good at getting you to a working demo. They're less good at the parts that matter once real users and real money show up.
API keys sitting in the frontend
Secrets got pasted somewhere convenient during a fast iteration and never moved server-side.
Anyone can read anyone's data
Auth exists, but row-level permissions were never enforced it just wasn't tested that way.
One more prompt breaks two other things
Context got lost between sessions, so fixes in one file quietly undo work in another.
No idea what happens under load
It works great with one user in a tab. Nobody has checked what happens with fifty.
Zero tests, zero safety net
Every change is a leap of faith, because there's nothing that would catch a regression.
You can't explain your own architecture
The AI made a lot of decisions fast. Nobody's mapped what's actually there or why.
We Don't Rewrite It. We Rescue It.
Most of what the AI built is worth keeping. Our job is to find the 20% that's fragile or unsafe, fix that properly, and finish what's left not throw away the head start you already have.
Audit First, Always
We read the whole codebase before touching anything, and hand you a plain-language report on what's solid, what's risky, and what's unfinished with a fixed price attached.
Security Gets Fixed First
Exposed secrets, open data access, and missing auth checks are closed before any new feature work starts. That's the part that puts your launch at risk.
You Keep Everything
We work inside your existing repo, your accounts, your infrastructure. No migration to our platform, no dependency on us to keep it running afterward.
We Pick Up Projects From Every Major AI Builder
Different tools leave different fingerprints. Our engineers know the common failure patterns of each one, so the audit isn't a generic code review it's targeted.
What We Actually Find When We Open the Hood
Three patterns show up in almost every vibe-coded app we've rescued, regardless of which tool built it.
Security That Was Never Adversarial
The AI built auth and a database that work in the happy path. Permission checks living only in the frontend, secrets in committed files, and open API routes are the norm, not the exception we lock this down table by table.
Architecture With No One Steering
Rapid, large multi-file edits leave duplicated logic, dead code paths, and inconsistent patterns across the app. We map what's actually there and bring it back to something one person can reason about.
Missing the Boring Production Stuff
No CI/CD, no error monitoring, no backups, no rate limiting, no tests. None of it shows up in a demo all of it shows up the first bad week after launch. We put it in before you need it.
From Audit to Launch-Ready in Four Steps
A fixed-scope engagement with a written report before you commit, and milestone payments instead of an open-ended hourly clock.
Grant Access & Sign the NDA
You share repo and tool access under NDA. Nothing gets touched until that's signed your IP is protected from the first minute.
Get Your Written Audit
Within three business days, you get a plain-language report what's solid, what's dangerous, what's unfinished plus one fixed price for the rescue.
We Fix, Harden & Finish It
Security first, data access, secrets, rate limits the stalled features get built out and the app is prepared for real traffic.
Launch, Document & Hand Back
Your app goes live on your domain with monitoring and backups in place, plus documentation so your next developer human or AI can pick it up.
Three Ways to Bring Us Into Your Project
Not every project needs the full rescue. Start wherever makes sense for where your app actually is.
Audit Only
A full read of your codebase and a written report, no commitment to further work required.
- Written report in 3 business days
- Risk & readiness rating
- Fixed price for further work
- No obligation to continue
Fix & Harden
We close the security and stability gaps so the app is safe to keep building on.
- Security & access hardening
- Architecture cleanup
- Fixed price, milestone payments
- 30 days of post-fix support
Full Rescue & Launch
Everything in Fix & Harden, plus finishing stalled features and taking the app live.
- Feature completion
- Deploy pipeline & monitoring
- Launch on your domain
- Optional ongoing retainer
How We Make Sure the Rescue Sticks
A rescue that breaks again in a month isn't a rescue. Every engagement is built to hold up after we're gone.
Security-First Fixes
Auth, data access, and secrets are hardened before any new feature work begins not treated as a final checklist item.
Tests Where There Were None
We add coverage for the critical paths, so future changes have a safety net that didn't exist before.
Documentation, Not Tribal Knowledge
Every fix and architectural decision is documented, so your next developer or you isn't starting from zero.
Monitoring From Day One of Launch
Error tracking, alerts, and backups go live with the app, not after the first incident teaches you they were missing.
Rescue vs Freelancer vs Starting Over
A quick side-by-side to help you decide what to do with a stalled AI-built app.
| What Matters | Synclovis Rescue | Hourly Freelancer | Rebuild From Scratch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Fixed price, set after audit | Open-ended hourly meter | Full project cost, no shortcut |
| What You Keep | All existing, working code | Depends on the freelancer | Little to nothing |
| Time to Fix | 2–5 weeks typical | Unpredictable | Months |
| Risk Visibility | Written audit before you commit | Rarely reviewed upfront | N/A — starting clean |
| Security Review | Built into every engagement | Only if you ask for it | Depends on new team |
| Best For | Apps with real traction worth saving | Small, well-scoped tasks | Apps with no salvageable core |
Why Founders Trust Us With a Half-Built App
Rescuing someone else's fast, undocumented work is a different skill than building from a blank repo — it's most of what we do.
We Read Before We Touch
Every rescue starts with a full audit, not assumptions. You know exactly what you're paying to fix before we start.
Senior Engineers, Not Juniors Learning on Your App
The people reviewing your codebase ship production systems for a living the review that never happened is the whole point.
Fixed Price, No Surprises
You get one number for the agreed scope, paid in milestones, not an hourly clock running on unfamiliar code.
Nothing Leaves Your Control
Your repo, your cloud accounts, your domain, your keys we work inside what you already own, start to finish.
We Stay Useful After Launch
30 days of fixes are included with every rescue, and many founders keep us on for the roadmap afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions
My app was built almost entirely by AI. Can you actually work with that?
Yes — that's the majority of what we rescue. We don't need to understand the prompts that built it, only the code that resulted. The audit tells us exactly what's there before we start.
Do you rewrite the whole thing, or work with what exists?
We work with what exists wherever it's sound. Most vibe-coded apps have a solid core — the goal is to fix the risky and unfinished parts, not throw away the head start you already paid for in time.
How much does a rescue cost?
It depends entirely on the state of the app, which is exactly what the audit determines. You get one fixed price for the agreed scope before any paid work begins — no open-ended hourly billing.
Do I keep access to my code and accounts throughout?
Yes, completely. We work inside your existing repo, cloud accounts, and domain from day one. Nothing moves to infrastructure we control, and you're never locked into continuing with us.
What if the audit finds the app isn't worth saving?
We'll tell you honestly. If the core is fundamentally unsound, we'd rather say so in the audit than take a fixed-price job we don't believe in — that's part of why the audit exists as its own step.
Is my idea and code protected while you review it?
We sign an NDA before requesting or reviewing any access to your repository, tools, or accounts, so your code and product idea are protected from the first conversation.
What happens after launch, are we on our own again?
Every rescue includes 30 days of post-launch fixes. After that, you can take the documented app fully in-house, or keep us on for ongoing feature work through a standard engagement model.
Send Us Your Repo. We'll Tell You What's Really There.
A written audit, a fixed price, and no obligation to continue past that point. Most founders know what they're dealing with within three business days.
Tell Us What You Built, and With What
Share a bit about your app and we'll get back within 24 hours to scope the audit. NDA comes before any repo access.
