Fix my Lovable app
Most broken Lovable apps have the same root cause: Supabase row-level security was never turned on, so the public key your app ships to every visitor's browser can read, and sometimes delete, your database directly. We check every table for that gap, rotate any keys that leaked into the client bundle, stop the credit-burn loop where re-prompting the AI reintroduces the same bug, and, if you've outgrown the platform, migrate your schema and logic into a real codebase you own. Rapid Diagnostic starts at $1,500, fixed scope, credited toward the full audit if you go ahead.
What specifically breaks in a Lovable app?
Four patterns account for almost everything we see. They're specific to how Lovable and Supabase work together, not generic app problems.
Row-level security left disabled
Lovable wires your app to Supabase fast, but doesn't turn on row-level security by default. Without it, the anon key baked into your frontend can query any row in any table it can see.
Exposed keys and secrets
Stripe secret keys, service-role Supabase keys, or third-party API tokens sometimes end up in client-side code because nothing flagged that they belonged server-side only.
The credit-burn fix-loop
You describe a bug, Lovable patches the symptom, a new bug appears, you describe that, and the cycle repeats, spending credits without ever reaching the root cause.
A platform incident, not just theory
In 2026, a platform-level bug meant some public Lovable projects had their source code and AI chat history readable by outsiders for weeks, a reminder that platform risk sits alongside app-level risk.
How do you fix a broken Lovable app?
We work in the order that stops the bleeding fastest, then move to what makes the app durable.
1. Audit every Supabase policy
We list every table your Lovable app can reach and check its row-level-security rules against what the public anon key should actually be allowed to do.
2. Rotate what's exposed
Any key or secret that shouldn't be public gets rotated and moved server-side, immediately, before anything else.
3. Fix root causes, not symptoms
We read the actual code behind the recurring bug and fix it directly, so it stops reappearing every time you touch a related feature.
4. Decide: harden in place, or migrate
If Lovable still fits your needs, we harden and document what's there. If you've outgrown it, we migrate your schema and business logic into a standard codebase you fully control.
What does it cost to rescue a Lovable app?
Pricing depends on scope, but most Lovable rescues fall into one of three bands.
Full Supabase RLS and secrets audit with a prioritized findings list. Fixed fee.
Close every security hole, fix the recurring bugs, and get to a stable, production-ready app.
Export your schema and logic into a standard codebase, and take over as your engineering team.
Lovable rescue questions
Is my Lovable app's Supabase database actually exposed?
If row-level security is disabled or misconfigured on any table, yes: anyone with your public anon key, which is visible in your site's own JavaScript, can read and sometimes delete that table's data. Independent scans found this on the majority of Supabase-backed vibe-coded apps they checked.
Was there really a Lovable security incident?
Yes. In 2026, a platform-level issue meant some public Lovable projects had their underlying source and chat history readable by outside parties for a period of weeks before it was fixed.
Why does Lovable's AI keep reintroducing the same bug?
When you ask Lovable to fix a bug by prompting again, it sometimes patches the symptom without understanding the underlying cause, which can reintroduce the original bug or create a new one, burning credits in a loop. A human engineer fixing the root cause breaks that loop.
Can I keep using Lovable after you fix my app?
Yes, for smaller apps we can hand back a hardened version that still lives in Lovable. For apps that have outgrown the platform, we migrate you to a standard codebase you own outright.
How fast can you check if I'm exposed?
A focused Supabase security check is usually same-week. If you think you're actively exposed, say so when you reach out and we'll prioritize it.
