Vibe coding is fast. Losing everything is faster.
AI can build you an app in an afternoon. Keeping it alive is where people end up in tears.
-
The update ate my database.
One confident prompt, one small change, and three years of family recipes are gone.
-
It worked yesterday.
Something changed, nobody knows what, and there is no way back to the version that worked.
-
Where is it even running?
The server is a mystery box, and the chat that built it is long gone.
All vibe no cry keeps the fun part and quietly handles the part that makes people cry.
From idea to live app in four steps.
Follow one small app, a guestbook for Grandma's 80th, all the way from an idea to something the whole family can use.
-
Describe it
Describe your idea in your own words. The AI turns it into a short plan, and each step comes with a simple test you can check yourself.
-
The AI builds it in a test copy
The code gets written in a sandbox that is a copy of your app. It cannot reach the real app or your real data, not even by accident.
-
You try it
Click through it yourself. Nothing moves on until you have seen it work with your own eyes.
-
Ship it through the gates
Your data is backed up, the backup is restored and tested, and the new version only goes live if it answers. If it doesn't, the old one stays.
The plan
- A page with a message form.Done when you can post a message and see it.
- Messages are kept for good.Done when they are still there after a restart.
- Only family can see it.Done when a stranger is asked to log in.
The glass wall is part of how the machine is built, not a rule the AI is asked to follow.
Grandma's guestbook
Eighty and still beats all of us at cards.
See you at the party, save me some cake!
Happy birthday Grandma!
Each gate only opens when its check passes. A backup that has never been restored does not count.
Go on, try to break it.
Ship a change to Grandma's guestbook. Then ship one that is broken, and watch what happens to the 42 messages.

Waiting for you to ship something.
Everything goes where it belongs.
Your code, your API keys and your data each have exactly one home. The machine keeps them apart, so a sloppy prompt can't mix them up.
Stopped: that looks like a keyKey blocked
code key dataKeys never go into your code. Before anything is pushed to GitHub it is checked for anything that looks like a key, and if one turns up, nothing leaves your machine. The AI's test copy never holds your live keys at all.
Every step you approve is saved to GitHub
- Add a message formPlan step 1, tried by you
- Keep messages after a restartPlan step 2, tried by you
- Ask strangers to log inPlan step 3, tried by you
- v1 is liveShipped through all three gates
You'll need a free GitHub account
GitHub keeps a second copy of your code away from your laptop, with every version you have ever shipped. If the laptop dies, your code is safe on GitHub and your data is safe on your backup disk.
- Create a free account on github.com.
- Connect it once from the control panel.
- Each new app gets its own private repository.
Runs on the laptop in your drawer.
No cloud bill and no server to rent. Put the installer on a USB stick, start the laptop from it, and open allvibe.local in your browser. Everything else happens there.
Old laptops are great at this. They are quiet, they use little power, and the battery keeps your apps running if the power blinks.
- 64-bit computer
- 8 GB of memory
- An SSD
- A USB disk for backups
The boring parts, handled.
The things that keep an app alive for years are the things nobody wants to think about. So you don't have to.
-
Backups that leave the machine
Every night your apps are copied to a USB disk or somewhere else you choose. Never only to the disk they live on.
-
Every backup gets tested
It is restored into a test copy and checked, so you know it works long before you need it.
-
The AI never touches real data
It works in a test copy on its own side of the wall. Your live apps are simply out of its reach.
-
Warnings in plain words
"Your disk is wearing out, replace it within a month." Not a wall of numbers you have to look up.
-
Private until you say so
New apps are only for you and the people you invite. Putting one on the open internet is a deliberate choice.
-
Moving is one click
New computer? Install, point it at your backup, and everything comes back the way it was.
-
A monthly check-up
Updates are prepared in the test copy for you to try, then shipped through the gates like any other change.
Yours, all the way down.

Let everyone build. Keep IT in control.
The same safety for a whole organization. People build the small apps they need, and IT decides where those apps run, what they can reach and who gets in.
- Single sign-on with the identity provider you already use
- Approved stacks and databases, set once for everyone
- Shared connections to company data, with fine-grained access
- An audit trail of every release and every AI action
- Runs in your own server room
One for you. One for your team.
The free version is what is being built right now. The team version is planned, and this is what it is meant to add. Both are in development, so the details may change.
