Short, plain answers about what GuardMike does today.

Getting started

How do I add my app?

Sign in, then open Guided setup. It asks one question per screen: which builder you used, your app's development address (for example yourapp.lovable.app) and, if you have one, your live custom address (for example yourapp.com).

Your progress is saved as you go, so you can stop and come back later without starting over.

Open Guided setup
Why does GuardMike ask for two addresses?

Many AI-built apps have a development address on the builder and a separate live address that customers use. They can show different versions of your app.

GuardMike watches your live address first when you have one. When you test features you pick which address to test, and every result shows exactly which address it came from.

Checks & tests

What does Check Everything look at?

It opens your public pages from our server and records whether they load, whether the secure connection (HTTPS) works, the page title and description, and broken links on that page. It can also run up to three test journeys you have approved.

It does not test every button, microphone or speech features, or Google and calendar connections. Those show as Untested until a real test for them runs.

What do Passed, Failed, Blocked and Untested mean?

Passed: a real test ran and everything it checked worked. Failed: a real test ran and found a problem. Blocked: the test could not safely run, for example because it would need a password or would send something. Untested: nothing has checked it yet.

GuardMike never shows Passed without saved proof from an actual run.

How does feature testing work?

After the first check, GuardMike can open your app in a real browser, look around without submitting anything, and suggest features to test. You review each suggestion, say what should happen, and approve it.

Approved tests only look and click safe links. Tests that fill in forms need your separate permission and a test account — never your real customers' data.

Are the twice-weekly automatic checks on?

Automatic checks are planned for Sundays and Wednesdays at 7:00 a.m. New York time. They are not switched on yet, and the app says so wherever they appear. You can run Check Everything yourself anytime.

Fixes & safety

How do I verify I own my live domain?

Open your app, find Ownership & publishing, and press Verify ownership. GuardMike gives you a unique code to add as a DNS record (where you bought the domain) or as a small file on your website. Then press Check verification and we look it up.

Ticking a box or typing your address never counts as proof. Verification lasts 30 days and can be re-checked. Proving your domain does not give GuardMike access to your code.

Why do repairs need my code source?

Without a code connection GuardMike can watch and test your app, but it cannot prepare fixes. To enable prepared fixes, connect your own GitHub account in Settings and pick the repository your app syncs to.

A Lovable or Base44 address alone never gives anyone access to change your app.

Open Settings
Can GuardMike change my app without asking?

No. Prepared fixes go to a separate branch in your repository and wait for your approval. Changes touching sign-in, payments, security or your database always need your OK.

Automatic publishing of small, undoable fixes stays off unless you verify your domain, connect your code with write access, and opt in yourself.

Your account

I forgot my password

On the sign-in page press Forgot password?, enter your email, and open the link we send to choose a new one. Links work once and expire.

Reset my password
How do I rename or remove an app?

Open the app from My Apps and scroll to Manage this app. Removing deletes GuardMike's saved checks, tests and fixes for that app. Your real website and code are not changed.

Can I put GuardMike on my phone's home screen?

Yes. On Android or a computer using Chrome or Edge, use the Install GuardMike button in Settings when it appears. On iPhone or iPad, open GuardMike in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.

GuardMike needs an internet connection to work; it does not run offline.

Step-by-step walkthroughs

Add your first app
  1. Sign in and open Guided setup from the menu.
  2. Choose the builder you used, for example Lovable or Base44.
  3. Paste your app's development address, then your live address if you have one. Leave the live one empty if you don't.
  4. Press Continue on each screen. Your answers are saved, so you can stop and come back.
  5. At the end GuardMike runs a first check of your public pages and shows the real result.
Open Guided setup
Run Check Everything
  1. Open My Apps and pick your app.
  2. Press Check Everything.
  3. Wait for it to finish. Each item shows Passed, Failed, Blocked or Untested, with what was actually seen.
  4. Open an item to see its saved proof and the time it ran.
Go to My Apps
Test your app's features
  1. Open Tests & Coverage and press Continue feature testing for your app.
  2. Pick which address to test: development or live.
  3. Review each suggested feature, write what should happen, and approve the ones you want tested.
  4. Run the approved tests. They only look and click safe links — nothing is submitted.
  5. Features that need a login, microphone or Google connection show what to set up instead of a fake pass.
Open Tests & Coverage
Prove you own your live domain
  1. Open your app from My Apps and find Ownership & publishing.
  2. Press Verify ownership and follow the numbered steps to add one record where your domain is managed.
  3. Come back and press Check verification. Changes can take a few minutes to an hour to show up.
  4. You never need to move your domain, share passwords or change your website.
Go to My Apps
Connect your code so fixes can be prepared
  1. Open Settings and press Connect GitHub. You sign in on GitHub yourself.
  2. Open your app and choose Connect source to enable repairs.
  3. Pick the repository your app syncs to. GuardMike checks your real access before saying it is connected.
  4. Prepared fixes always wait on a separate branch for your approval.
