The security scanner for indie hackers
A security scanner for indie hackers reads your live site and flags the holes that AI builders and fast shipping leave open, without a security team or a big budget. The first scan is free, it needs no setup, and it covers the mistakes that most often leak a solo founder's user data.
Built for how you ship
Indie hackers and solo founders move fast, wear every hat, and rarely have anyone whose job is security. That is exactly when an exposed key or an open database slips through. A passive scanner fits that reality: paste a URL, get the holes worst first, fix them, ship. No agent to install, no report to decode.
You do not need a security team to catch the mistakes that leak your users' data.
What it covers
- Exposed Supabase or Firebase keys and databases readable without a login.
- Secret keys shipped to the browser.
- Missing security headers and leaked source or config.
Run your site through Plaintext before you post the launch. The first scan is free.
Frequently asked
What is the best security scanner for indie hackers?
The best fit is a passive scanner that works from your live URL with no setup, since indie hackers rarely have a security team. Plaintext scans free on the first run and reports the exposed keys and open databases that most often leak a solo founder's data.
Do I need a security team as a solo founder?
Not for the basics. Most launch-day security problems are exposed keys, open databases, and missing headers, all of which a passive scan of your live URL catches without a team or a budget.
Check your own app in about a minute. Paste your URL and Plaintext reads the shipped JavaScript, the public endpoints, and the database rules for the exact holes AI code generators leave open. The first scan is free.
