AI-Built App Rescue: Audit and Fix Apps Made with Lovable, Bolt or Cursor
A new service: a fixed-price audit of an app built with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor or similar tools, covering data access rules, exposed keys, auth, backups and deploy, with a clear fix plan. I make the fixes on Laravel, Vue/Nuxt, Go, Python and Postgres/Supabase SQL. Audit from $390 ($300 founding), about a week.

Who this is for.
A good fit if
- Founders with an AI-built app that has, or is about to have, real users
- Non-technical founders who aren’t sure their data is protected
- Teams whose AI-built prototype needs to become maintainable
Common triggers
- Worry about the widely reported Supabase row-level security gaps in AI-built apps
- Keys or secret values visible in the browser
- First paying users, an investor or a customer asking about security
- Deploys that break, or no backups
Not a fit if
- You need a penetration test or a compliance certificate
- You want me to keep building features in the AI tool’s chat
- You need the fixes made in a front-end framework I don’t work in, and don’t want to migrate (the audit still helps, and says who can fix what)
What I do, and what you get.
What I do
- Audit the app and its database: row-level security (RLS) rules, exposed keys, auth, who can read and write what, storage buckets, payment webhooks, backups, deploy
- Test the access rules from the outside with a test account, only on your app
- Write a ranked fix list with effort estimates
- On fix tiers, fix database rules, SQL functions and server-side logic, and move secrets out of the browser
- Where the fix belongs in a front end I don’t support, write exact instructions for you or your AI tool, or quote a move to a supported stack
- Re-test after fixes
What you get
- Audit report in plain English with a ranked fix list and effort estimates
- Evidence of each issue (what an outsider could see or change)
- On fix tiers, the fixes as SQL migrations and code changes, and a re-test report
- Instructions for any front-end changes outside my stacks
- Backup and deploy notes
- Handover notes
Your part
- Access to the code repository and the database project (for example Supabase)
- Permission, in writing, to test your app’s access rules
- Rotating any keys I flag, or giving me access to do it
- Testing key flows after fixes
Included
- Audit of any stack
- RLS policies, SQL functions, Postgres/Supabase fixes
- Server-side fixes in Laravel, Go, Python, Nuxt
- Moving secrets out of the browser
- Re-test after fixes
Not included
- Penetration testing or certification
- Fixes in React/Next or other unsupported front ends (instructions given)
- Building new features
- Legal or breach-notification advice
- Ongoing monitoring (see Care Plans)
Fixed prices, agreed before work starts.

Audit plus fixes for the critical and high items, re-tested
Fix, plus server-side rework, backups, deploy pipeline and tests for key flows. In 2 monthly milestones of $1,300 ($1,000 founding).

Founding price: 3 of 7 spots left, until Mar 31, 2027 — one-off work, in return for a testimonial. How it works
Prices are in USD, paid by bank transfer against an invoice. Work under $1,000 is paid upfront; larger work is 50% to start and 50% before handover, or monthly milestones. How working together works
Variations
- Lovable/Bolt + Supabase (React front end)
- I audit everything and fix SQL, RLS and a small server-side service, with React changes as instructions.
- Cursor-built Laravel, Vue/Nuxt, Go or Python app
- A full audit and fixes.
- Unsupported stack end to end
- An audit, then a quoted migration to a supported stack (for example a Nuxt front end on the same Supabase/Postgres database).
- Already leaked data
- I lock it down; your lawyer handles notification.
- No-code app (Bubble, Glide, Softr)
- I audit privacy rules and data exposure, and quote a phased move to code if the app has outgrown the platform.
How it runs.
- 01
Send a link
Email a link, the tool you used and the stack.
- 02
Access and permission
You pay the invoice and grant access and written testing permission.
- 03
Audit and report
I audit the app and send the report.
- 04
Pick a path
You pick a fix tier, or use the report with your own developer.
- 05
Fix and re-test
I make the fixes, re-test and hand over.
A new service, done openly.
I have not delivered this exact service for a client before, so there is no case study to point to yet. The approach above is built from parts I have shipped in production — see the case studies — and the fixed price and written scope protect you while it is new.
Questions buyers ask.
Is my app leaking data?
The audit answers that for your app specifically, with evidence. Missing or wrong RLS rules and keys in the browser are the most common causes.
Can you fix a React app?
I fix the database, access rules and server side. For React changes I write exact instructions, or quote a move to a stack I support.
Do I have to stop using Lovable or Bolt?
No. But changes made by the AI tool after my fixes can undo them. The handover notes say what to watch.
Is this a penetration test?
No. It’s a focused review of how these apps usually go wrong, plus access tests on your app.
What if data has already leaked?
I contain it and fix the cause. Legal steps are for your lawyer.
Have you done this before?
This is a new service, so there’s no past AI-built app rescue to show yet. My other work does check every permission on the server with row-level scope, and uses encrypted columns and role-based access.
Ask about AI-Built App Rescue.
Tell me what you have and where it hurts. I reply within one US business day with either a fixed quote or the entry step that makes a fixed quote possible.
Helpful to include
- App URL
- Tool used (Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, other)
- Front end, back end and database
- Number of users, and whether they pay
- What worries you
- Repo and database access available (Y/N)
- Deadline
More in Project Rescue & Takeover
Codebase Assessment
A fixed-price, written review of your existing app: code quality, security basics, tests, dependencies, hosting and what it would take to finish, fix or upgrade it. For founders and agencies taking over or rescuing a project. From $520 ($400 founding), about 1–2 weeks. The fee is credited toward follow-on work.
Rescue & Finish
When a developer or agency left your app half-built or unstable, I take it over after a Codebase Assessment, stabilize it, and finish the agreed scope in fixed monthly phases. For Laravel, Vue/Nuxt, Go and Python apps. From $1,300 ($1,000 founding) per monthly phase. Every rescue starts with an assessment.
Ownership & Access Check
A new service: I find where your domain, DNS, hosting, email, code and app accounts live, whose name each one is in and who can log in, then give you a one-page map and a plan to move everything into your name. From $195 ($150 founding), about a week. For owners whose developer left or went quiet.
