The pre-launch simulator for AI-built apps

Will your app survive real users?

Lovable, Cursor, Bolt and v0 build the app. Preflar simulates its launch — the leaks, the traffic spikes, the failures, the bill — then fixes what breaks. Before a single real user shows up, all in your browser.

They turn a sentence into a working app in minutes. They also leave keys in the code and databases wide open by default. Preflar is the check you run before anyone else finds out.

One missed hole is the whole company

These aren't theoretical. They're the three ways AI-built apps actually get burned — and each takes one line to cause.

KEYS A leaked API key

Bots scrape public code around the clock. A single exposed OpenAI or AWS key becomes someone else's $10,000 bill by morning — on your card.

DATA An open database

A Firebase rule left on “allow anyone” means a stranger can read — or delete — every user you have. It's the single most common way these apps die.

SECRETS An unprotected .env

One push to GitHub and every secret you own is public, permanently. There's no undo — you can rotate keys, but you can't un-leak them.

A flight simulator for your software

Preflar builds a working model of your app from its code, then runs it into the future — thousands of users, traffic spikes, server failures, real attack patterns, a database that keeps growing. You watch exactly what breaks, and what it costs, while there's still time to fix it.

What it checks for

The mistakes AI tools actually ship — tuned to be precise, so a normal Firebase web key or a safe database call won't trigger a false alarm.

Exposed secrets

OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, Stripe, GitHub, Google OAuth, SendGrid and more — keys, tokens, database passwords, and private keys committed to your code.

Wide-open databases

Firebase/Firestore rules set to allow anyone, and Supabase service-role keys shipped to the browser — the fastest way these apps get wiped.

Unprotected .env

A secrets file that isn't ignored from upload, a secret hiding in a NEXT_PUBLIC_ variable that ships to every visitor — one push from a public leak.

Injection & web holes

Code or shell commands built from user input, SQL glued from strings, open CORS, raw-HTML injection, and debug mode left on in production.

It doesn't just find problems. It fixes them.

Finding the hole is half the job. Preflar writes the fix — and for the issues a machine can safely correct, you don't even copy-paste.

One-click fixesSafe corrections (open rules, debug flags, missing .gitignore) come with the exact code and a Copy button.
An AI fix-it promptOne button writes a precise prompt for every issue — paste it into Cursor, Lovable or v0 and your tool fixes the whole app.

Reach an A or B and Preflar issues a verifiable trust badge — a public page and an embeddable mark showing your app passed a real security scan. It links back to the actual result, so no one has to take your word for it.

A public verification pageEvery badge links to a Preflar page with the grade, the date, and exactly what was checked — hosted by us, not by you.
Embed it anywhereOne line on your site, README, or launch post. It renders your live grade straight from your latest scan.

Your code never leaves your browser

Most tools want you to upload your whole repo. Preflar reads and scans your files locally, right on this page — nothing is sent anywhere. Only the result summary (your grade and issue counts) is saved to your account, never your source.

One path, from “what did I miss?” to “ship it”

Each stage builds on the last. You start free — and you don't get the green light until your app can actually take a punch.

Made for founders, not security engineers

Real security tools exist — they're built for people who already speak the language. Preflar is built for the person who shipped an app and just wants to know it's safe.

Traditional security tools

Snyk, SonarQube, npm audit…
  • Output reads like a stack trace — CVE-2024-…, CVSS scores
  • Hundreds of alerts, most of them noise
  • Assumes you know what to do next
  • Stops at finding — fixing and shipping are on you

Preflar

Built for the AI-app wave
  • Every finding in plain English — what, why, and the exact fix
  • Tuned for the mistakes AI tools make, so it won't cry wolf
  • Writes the fix and the prompt that applies it
  • Takes you all the way to a launch-ready submission
Free finds it. Pro never stops looking.

Scan, fix, harden and launch — free, forever. Pro keeps watching your app after launch and pings you the moment a new hole appears.

Questions, answered

Do I need to know how to code?

No. That's the whole point. Every finding is explained like a person would explain it, and the fix is written for you — including a prompt you can hand straight to your AI tool.

Is my code safe to scan?

Yes. Scanning runs entirely in your browser — your source never leaves your device. Only the result summary (grade and counts) is saved to your account.

Will it flood me with false alarms?

No. It's tuned for the specific mistakes AI coding tools make. A normal Firebase web key, a safe parameterized query, or a test fixture won't set it off.

What kinds of apps does it work on?

Any stack — Next.js, React, Python, plain HTML. Paste a single file or pick your whole project folder.

Is it really free?

Yes — make an account and scan as much as you want. A paid tier is coming for continuous monitoring, but the scanner stays free.
