Cursor app fixes · fixed price

Fix your Cursor-built app.

Cursor lets you build far more than you could alone. The cost shows up later: three ways of doing the same thing, fixes that undo other fixes, a deploy nobody fully understands. I read the whole codebase, find the root causes, and give you a fixed price per problem.

A Cursor app can be written in anything. I take on React and Next.js apps (often with Supabase, Postgres or a Node API). If yours is in something else, I'll tell you straight away rather than quote.

Common problems

What usually goes wrong.

  • Every change breaks something else

    The AI edited parts of the app without seeing the rest. Duplicated logic and conflicting patterns mean a fix in one place misses its twin. Untangling that is mostly reading, then a few deliberate changes.

  • The same thing is done three different ways

    Several data-fetching approaches, two auth set-ups, overlapping components. Picking one and removing the rest makes every later change cheaper.

  • It runs on my machine but not in production

    Environment variables, build settings, database migrations that were run by hand, or code that assumes a local setup. Production needs all of it written down and repeatable.

  • I'm worried about keys and data

    Secret keys committed to the repo, admin routes without checks, database rules left open. I flag anything like this I find while diagnosing. I fix what's broken; I don't certify an app as secure.

  • Nobody, including the AI, understands it anymore

    No structure a human can follow. A short written map of the app plus a cleanup of the worst areas lets you (or the next developer) work on it again.

  • It's slow, and getting slower

    Repeated database calls, huge client bundles, data fetched in loops. Usually a handful of specific fixes, measured before and after.

Something else? Most problems don’t fit a list. Describe it in two lines and I’ll tell you whether I can fix it.

Price

Fixed before anything starts.

  1. Diagnosis

    You send the repo and what's broken. I read the code and send back a written list: what's broken, how serious, and a fixed price per item.

    $249

    credited to the fix

    Delivery: 48 hours

  2. Fix pack

    Broken auth, failed deploys, forms that don't submit, layouts that fall apart on mobile, features the AI left half-done. Moving to a new host counts as an item.

    from $750

    items quoted after diagnosis

    Delivery: 2–5 days

The diagnosis fee is credited against the fix (minimum fix order $750), and refunded in full if nothing is worth fixing.

  1. 01

    Tell me what you need

    Two lines on what the app should do, or what's broken, plus a link to the code if there is any.

  2. 02

    A fixed price in writing

    New builds get a written scope and price. Existing apps get a $249 diagnosis in 48 hours: each problem, how serious, and a price to fix it.

  3. 03

    You pick what to do

    A deposit for the items you choose: 50%, or 30% on longer jobs paid by milestone. The diagnosis fee is credited.

  4. 04

    Built, then handed over

    A preview link to check first. The balance on handoff, and the code is yours.

Questions

About Cursor fixes.

Will you just tell me to rewrite it?

Rarely. Most Cursor apps have a sound core under the mess. The diagnosis says which parts to keep, which to fix and which (if any) to replace, each with a price.

Can I keep using Cursor afterwards?

Yes. A cleaner codebase makes Cursor better too: fewer conflicting patterns for it to copy. I'll leave short notes on the conventions to follow.

My app was built with Claude Code. Is this the right page?

Yes. Apps built with Claude Code or other coding agents break in the same ways: work marked done that doesn't run end to end, patterns that drift between sessions, errors hidden instead of fixed. The diagnosis and the prices are the same.

What do you need for the diagnosis?

Read access to the repository, a few lines on what's wrong, and how it's deployed today, if it is.

Will you sign an NDA before seeing my code?

Yes. Send yours and I'll sign it before I see the repo. Your app and your name stay private.

Try it yourself first.

Send me your Cursor app.

Two lines and a repo link. I reply within 24 hours (Mon–Sat) with the $249 diagnosis invoice, or tell you straight away if it isn't something I can do well.
