Signs you need a rescue
Most AI-built apps break in the same few places: auth, data access, the one integration everything depends on, and deploys with no tests. We find which of those is failing yours, rebuild it properly in 2-4 weeks, and leave the screens your users know untouched.
How it works
- 01
Review
The whole rescue takes 2-4 weeks, starting with a 3-day review. We read the codebase, the data model and the deploy setup, and tell you plainly what's salvageable, what isn't, and what it costs to fix. If a rebuild isn't worth it, we say so.
- 02
Rebuild
Senior engineers rebuild the parts that are failing - auth, data, integrations, performance - keeping the screens and flows your users already know.
- 03
Harden and hand off
Tests, monitoring and documentation go in before we hand over. You own all of it: code, infrastructure, credentials. Then 6 weeks of support while it runs under real load.
From $6,000
Fixed scope and fixed price, agreed after the review. Not sure what's salvageable yet? Start with a Security or Performance Audit. Moving off Bubble? See Bubble to code.

Frequently asked questions
Do you rebuild the whole app from scratch?
Rarely. We rebuild what's failing and keep what works. Users keep the same screens and flows; we rebuild the backend, data model and integrations underneath to production grade.
Which tools do you rescue apps from?
Lovable, Bolt, Cursor and similar AI builders, plus Bubble and other no-code platforms. The patterns that break are similar across all of them.
How much does a Code Rescue cost?
From $6,000. The final price depends on how much of the app needs rebuilding. We agree it after the 3-day review, before any rebuild work starts.
How long does a Code Rescue take?
Two to four weeks for most apps. The review in the first days tells you the exact scope and timeline before you commit to the rebuild.
Do we own the code afterwards?
Yes, 100%. Code, infrastructure, docs and credentials are all yours. No lock-in and no proprietary platform.
What if the app isn't worth rescuing?
We tell you. Sometimes the honest answer is to keep it as is, or to rebuild one part and leave the rest. We'd rather lose the project than sell you work you don't need.
