Find the real break
We trace the failure to its actual cause, a database policy, a bad migration, an expired key, a broken build, instead of prompting blindly until something changes.
Vibe coding rescue · Bolt.new
Your Bolt.new app isn’t working. Here’s how we fix it.
First rule out an outage: check Bolt.new’s official status page — if Bolt.new itself is down, wait it out. If it’s up and your app is still broken, it is almost always one of four things: a database rule that changed, a broken deploy, a secret that leaked or rotated, or the AI quietly undoing earlier work. Our 48-hour audit tells you exactly which, with a fixed price to fix it, and most are live again within days.

The frustrating part of a broken vibe-coded app is that nothing tells you where the break is. The screen goes blank, or a feature that worked yesterday returns an error, and prompting the tool to "fix it" often makes it worse. The break is real and specific; the tool just cannot see it from inside.
We read the actual code and the actual logs instead of guessing. Within 48 hours you get a plain-language report: what broke, why, whether it is safe to keep building on, and a single fixed price to get it working and keep it that way. No hourly meter, no discovery theatre.
How we fix it.
Fix it so it stays fixed
We repair the break and the class of problem behind it, so the same failure does not resurface the next time you add a feature.
Add a safety net
Error tracking, alerts, and backups go in, so the next issue surfaces as a notification you act on, not a customer telling you the app is down.
Specific to Bolt.new
What usually needs attention in Bolt.new apps.
Stuck on the preview URL
The app lives at a Bolt preview link with no custom domain, no SSL story, no staging, and no way to deploy a fix without regenerating half the project.
Demo-grade auth
Auth flows that pass the happy path but skip verification, session expiry, and permission checks enforced on the API itself rather than only in the UI.
One deploy, no safety net
No error tracking, no backups, no rollbacks. The first bad deploy after launch takes the app down with no way back but another prompt.
How a rescue works.
Fixed price, milestone payments, and a written audit before you commit to anything.
Audit, 48 hours
Send repo or tool access. You get a plain-language report of what is solid, what is dangerous, what is unfinished, and a fixed price for the rest.
Fix and harden
Security first: auth, data access, secrets, rate limits, payments. The invisible work that keeps your launch out of the news for the wrong reason.
Finish and launch
The stalled features get built, the deploy pipeline gets set up, and the app goes live on your domain with monitoring, alerts, and daily backups.
Stay if you want
Every rescue includes 30 days of fixes. Many founders keep us on afterwards for the roadmap, through Resident™, our monthly retainer.
Questions
Is Bolt.new down right now, or is it just my app?
Check Bolt.new’s official status page first — platform-wide outages are rare and usually resolve on their own within hours. If the status page shows Bolt.new is up and your app is still failing, the break lives in your app’s own code or configuration: a changed database rule, an expired key, a bad deploy, or an AI edit that undid earlier work. That is exactly what the 48-hour audit pinpoints.
My Bolt.new app is not loading and just shows a blank screen. What causes that?
A blank white screen almost always means the JavaScript threw before anything could render, so there is no error on screen to read. The usual causes, in the order we find them: an environment variable that exists locally but was never set in the deployed build, a failed API call at startup with no error boundary around it, a database query rejected by an access rule so the page renders nothing, or a bad deploy that shipped a broken bundle. Open your browser’s developer console and read the first red error — the first one is the real one, the rest are usually knock-on effects. If that means nothing to you, send it to us and we will read it.
My Bolt.new app worked yesterday and is broken today. What happened?
Usually a change with a delayed effect: a database rule, an expired or rotated key, a dependency update, or an AI edit that fixed one thing and broke another. The 48-hour audit reads the code and logs and tells you the exact cause rather than guessing.
Can you fix it without rebuilding the whole Bolt.new app?
Almost always, yes. Full rewrites are rarely necessary, Bolt.new produces real, usable code. We keep what works, fix the specific break and the pattern behind it, and only rebuild the parts that are genuinely unsafe or unfixable.
How fast can a broken Bolt.new app be working again?
The audit takes 48 hours from access. Simple breaks are often fixed the same week; larger ones get a fixed price and a two-to-four-week timeline. If real users are hitting errors right now, flag it as urgent and we triage the dangerous parts first.
