Local Launch Check

Check your AI-built app.
Keep your source local.

Run Should I Ship from your terminal to catch obvious launch risks before real users see your app. You get a local Markdown and JSON report with the biggest issues to review first. Your source code stays on your machine.

Run it locally

The free scan catches the obvious launch risks. It is a fast sanity check before you push harder on traffic, demos, beta users, or paid customers.

Free Local Scan

Start with a private sanity check.

Use the CLI when you want a quick read on whether your app is safe enough for a soft launch. It highlights the kinds of issues AI-built products often miss: missing auth, weak API protection, validation gaps, risky architecture, and production readiness problems.

Runs from your terminal in under a minute for most projects.
Writes Markdown and JSON reports on your machine.
Shows which scan engines ran, so you know what was checked.
No source upload from the CLI.
01

Run it from your repo

Start in your project folder and run one command. The CLI checks git-visible files, including uncommitted work that is not ignored.

02

Review the launch report

Get a score, launch verdict, impact counts, and the top 3 prioritized findings with copy-ready fix prompts in Markdown and JSON.

03

Fix before real traffic

Use the local scan for quick triage, then create a $10 unlock link when you want every finding, exact locations, and sharing.

Privacy

Local means local.

Start here when you want the real scan. The CLI gives you a useful launch-readiness check without sending source code anywhere.

The CLI does not upload your source code.
Ignored files such as .env stay ignored.
Reports are written to .should-i-ship/ by default.
Git repos are scanned through git-visible files, so work-in-progress changes are included while ignored secrets stay out.

Need the deeper report?

The free CLI shows the top 3 findings and locks the rest by severity and category. The $10 full report unlocks every finding with exact issues, files, fixes, AI repair prompts, and a shareable report.
