Early alpha · v0.1.0
Your product.
Someone keeps it standing.
Vibe coding gets you to launch. The week after is where founders get stuck. Describe your idea in plain English — we build it with a real database and real access rules, and deploy it when you say so. Source code yours to download, data in your database.Live today: build, access rules, deploy. Building next, with our design partners: connecting an app you already have, and investigating and fixing what breaks after launch.

Sign in, describe your idea in plain English, and get a live app — then we build it and deploy it on your say-so.
The real problem
Launch day is the easy part.
Anyone can hand you a pile of lumber and power tools. That's not a house — and it doesn't keep you dry when it rains.
The hard part starts after go-live: the bug you can't reproduce, the feature your customers are asking for, the change you're afraid will break something. That's when most founders realize they're stranded with software they can't operate.
RedScissors doesn't leave you at the jobsite. We keep the house standing — bugs, updates, and all — so you never have to become your own engineer.
After launch · building next
Getting you past the week after launch.
Report a bug or ask for a feature in plain English — we reproduce it, fix it, test it, and hand you the change to approve. This is the half we are building now, with our design partners. It is not running yet, and we would rather say so than let you find out.
- 01
Bugs, in your words
Tell us what's broken like you'd tell a teammate — we investigate, fix, validate, and deploy.
- 02
Features, not fantasies
Describe what you need next — we turn it into a tested change you can review before it goes live.
- 03
Memory that sticks
Your project remembers past decisions and fixes, so every change builds on what came before.
Real maintenance
One we built. Still standing.
This isn't a screenshot from launch day. We build and deploy real apps today. Keeping them running afterwards is the half we are building next — and when it runs, the log of every change will be published here rather than described.
Maintenance log
Our first maintenance log is on the way
We're documenting our first maintained app — check back soon.
Day one
We build it too — from idea to live app.
Describe what you want, see it running in your browser, and when you're ready we deploy a real product to production — source code you can download, data in your database.
- 01
Describe it
Plain English. No specs required.
- 02
See it live
See a working version before anything goes live.
- 03
Ship it
Approve it and your app goes to production.
Before anything goes live
Nothing reaches your live app until you press Publish.
A build that fails its checks tells you so, and you can ask the chat to fix it.
You stay in the loop, and because you can download the full source, you can always bring in a human developer to take it from there.
How we keep it safe
Every change goes through the same guardrail — so you get speed without gambling your live app.
Validated first
Every change is tested against your app before you publish it.
Your code. Your database.
Full source code, yours to download
Your data stays in your database
No engineer in the loop
Questions
The doubts you're probably carrying.
Straight answers — no fine print buried three clicks deep.
Will you change my live app without asking me?
No. Your live app keeps showing the version you published until you republish it. Your preview and your live app share one database, though, so test orders you place while building show up on the live app too.
Can I bring my own developer in later?
Yes. Once your app has files, you can download its code and hand it to any developer you hire. It's a normal web project they can open and work on. Payments, email and AI features run through RedScissors.ai and need changes to work elsewhere.
What if it can't build what I need?
We're in alpha, so not everything is possible yet. Mobile apps and custom domains are coming soon, and the product says so where you'd look for them. Before a build you can review the plan, and if your app doesn't pass its checks you see what failed and can ask the chat to fix it (a fix counts as an edit).
What happens to my data and code if I leave?
You keep ownership of what you submit, and you can download your app's code once it has files. There is no export for the data your app stores yet.
What does it cost?
You can start free on the Free Monthly Plan, which includes monthly credits. No card needed. Pro is coming soon.
Early alpha
Try it while we're still early.
RedScissors is v0.1.0 alpha — we're looking for founders who want a product someone else keeps standing, not just code that launches once.
No credit card. No engineer required.
