About SafeDev

Security should help you ship faster, not get in your way

We built SafeDev because security tools should be fast, clear, and actually useful for the people writing code.

Our Story

Why we built SafeDev

We've all been there. A leaked API key in a commit history. A JWT that never expires. A secret that accidentally ended up in a public repo. Easy mistakes to make, painful to fix.

Most security tools are built for security teams. Complex dashboards, overwhelming alerts, reports you need a PhD to understand. Developers end up piecing together context from scattered tools and generic advice.

SafeDev is different. We built it for developers who want to ship secure code without becoming full-time security engineers. Real-time scanning, clear explanations, and fixes you can actually use.

Our Values

What we care about

The stuff that shapes how we build SafeDev.

Developer-First

Built by developers, for developers. We optimize for your workflow, not ours.

Speed Matters

Security shouldn't slow you down. Get answers in seconds, not hours.

Privacy by Default

Your code is yours. We don't store it, sell it, or train on it.

Open & Transparent

Clear explanations, honest limitations, and no security theater.

How We Work

Our approach to security

We don't just find problems. We help you understand and fix them.

Actionable over comprehensive

We focus on issues you can actually fix, ranked by real impact. No noise, no false positives drowning out real risks.

Context, not just alerts

Every finding comes with an explanation: what it means, why it matters, and how to fix it. No cryptic error codes.

Shift left, but be realistic

Catch issues early without breaking your flow. We plug into where you already work: your IDE, your CI, your GitHub.

Keep improving

Security isn't a one-time thing. Track your progress, measure improvements, and build better habits over time.

Open Source

Built in the open

SafeDev is open source because security tools should be transparent. You can inspect our code, contribute improvements, and trust what we're doing with your data.
