How Reeve Care Watches and Backs Up an AI-Built App After the Scan

Updated

Reeve Care is the ongoing layer that starts after the free scan: instead of leaving you with a list of problems, it takes over the watching and the backing up of your app. According to Reeve, the scan is a read-only outside check that grades your app A–F in about 20 seconds, and Reeve Care is what "takes it off your plate" once you know what's wrong. The backup side is described as "the undo button for your app" — a way to restore things when something breaks.

The three-step flow

Reeve frames the whole product as three steps, from "I hope it's fine" to "I know it's covered":

  1. Paste your app or website link. No install, no signup, and Reeve states it never touches your data. You confirm you own the app or have permission to scan it.
  2. Get a grade. The scan runs the same nine checks Reeve uses across its sample data and returns an A–F safety grade with a score, plus what you got right — Reeve notes it avoids false alarms and tells you what's already correct.
  3. Move to ongoing coverage. This is where Reeve Care comes in: watching the app and backing it up rather than just reporting once.

What the scan itself checks

The scan is an automated external check, not a full audit. Across 30,998 live vibe-coded apps, Reeve reports these findings and how often they appeared:

Problem Most serious level seen Share of apps
Security headers up to Medium 99%
Cross-site sharing up to High 22%
Source maps up to Medium 13%
Database access up to Critical 8%
Exposed secrets up to Critical 4%

Reeve's headline stat: 99% of the apps it scanned had at least one problem.

Why the database layer matters most

Reeve's argument for continuous coverage is that a broken front end costs you one customer, while an open database costs you all of them. In a sweep of 8,435 apps running Supabase, Reeve could reach 3,680 databases — and 57% of those had tables a stranger could read. Two checks in that sweep ran on smaller samples: 3,680 databases and 4,703 storage systems actually responded.

Problem (apps with a database) Most serious level seen Share
Security headers up to Medium 99%
Database access up to Critical 57%
Cross-site sharing up to High 18%
Storage buckets up to High 17%
Source maps up to Medium 10%

That 57% figure is the clearest case for why a one-time scan isn't enough: the data layer is the part that can leak everything at once, and it's the part most likely to change as you keep building.

What Reeve Care adds beyond the report

  • Watching: the scan tells you what's wrong once; Reeve Care keeps an eye on it so a new exposure doesn't sit unnoticed.
  • Backing up: described as the undo button — a restore point for when a change breaks the app.
  • Doing the fixing: Reeve positions Care as taking the remediation work off your plate rather than handing you a to-do list.

Practical notes before you start

  • The scan is free, requires no signup, and is a read-only outside check.
  • You must own the app or have permission to scan it.
  • Scanning implies agreement to Reeve's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
  • Reeve states it never touches your data during the scan.
  • Reeve's own framing is explicit that this is an automated external check, not a full audit — treat the grade as a starting signal, not a certification.
