Built for people shipping fast with AI
VibeGuard exists because AI writes code faster than humans can review it. That gap is a security problem, and it needed a straightforward tool -- not another platform.
Why this exists
AI-assisted coding tools -- Cursor, Copilot, Claude -- changed the speed of software development. A solo developer or small team can now ship features in hours that used to take days. That velocity is real and valuable.
But the review step didn't keep up. When you accept 200 lines of generated code, you're trusting a model to get security right. Most of the time it does. Sometimes it exposes an API key, pulls in a vulnerable dependency, or writes auth logic with a subtle flaw. At speed, those mistakes compound.
Traditional security tools assume you have time -- time for long scans, complex dashboards, and detailed triage. When you're iterating with AI every few minutes, that model breaks down. And most of those tools want your code in their cloud before they'll even show you a result.
VibeGuard started as an internal tool. The founder needed a single command that would scan locally, surface what mattered, and generate a fix as a reviewable diff -- without uploading source code anywhere. Nothing on the market worked that way, so he built it.
That's still the core idea: catch the security gaps that AI-speed development creates, without slowing down the workflow that created them.
What we believe
These are design constraints, not marketing copy. They shape every technical decision we make.
Local-first
Your source code stays on your machine. Scans run locally or on your own CI runner. We don't see your code, store your code, or transmit your code. If network access fails mid-scan, the scan still finishes.
Minimal data movement
The less data that moves, the less that can leak. VibeGuard is designed to work with near-zero network calls during scanning. The only outbound calls are ones you explicitly configure, like SARIF uploads to GitHub.
Reviewable diffs
Auto-fixes that merge without review are dangerous. VibeGuard generates diffs you can read, understand, and approve before applying. Slower than auto-merge, but that's the point -- security-sensitive code deserves a human eye.
Where we are
Honest separation between what ships today and what we're working toward.

Roadmap items are not commitments. Priorities shift based on user feedback and what we learn from production use.
