This. This is what. A senior engineer adopts your AI-built app and ships it for real. One flat monthly fee. Pause or cancel anytime.
We get it — your app's gorgeous. It also has more holes than a gruyère. So: subscribe, queue up what needs fixing, and finished work comes back fast.
That's the whole system.
Hand it over. Yes — the repo you've been pretending is fine. That one.
Plain English works. "Checkout is broken" is a perfectly good ticket. No prompt engineering required.
Working software comes back. Not a "Fixed!" that isn't — actually shipped.
Shibui replaces unreliable freelancers and expensive agencies for one flat monthly fee. "Checkout is broken" is a perfectly good ticket. Working software lands every couple of days until the queue is empty.
“They took my duct-taped demo and made it a business.”
“I stopped being afraid of my own codebase.”
We’re talking “wait, you built this with AI?” good.
See recent rescuesWe’ve seen worse.
Probably this morning.
Roadmap went quiet? Pause. The queue is here when you’re back.
Not loving it after a week? Get 75% back, no questions asked.
God, no. Sending it as-is is the whole point. We’ve adopted codebases that were forty Cursor sessions deep with zero commits. Yours is fine. Promise.
In plain English, on a Trello board. “Users can’t log in” is a perfectly good ticket. “Make the dashboard less embarrassing” also works. Prefer talking? Record a quick Loom. If you can describe it, we can build it.
Subscribe and you’ll be on your board within about an hour.
Shibui is a one-person agency, run by its founder. No juniors, no outsourcing, no handoffs. You work directly with the same senior engineer the entire time.
Perfect. Give us access or an export and we take it from there—including moving it onto real infrastructure that you own, when it’s time.
On average, most requests ship in two business days or less. Bigger things get broken into pieces that ship every day or two, so you’re never waiting in the dark wondering if anything is happening.
Queue up as many as you’d like. They get done one at a time, so the most important thing is always the thing being worked on.
Some months you’ll have a pile of requests, some months nothing. Pausing means you never pay for a quiet month.
Billing cycles are based on a 31 day period. Say you use the service for 21 days and then pause: the clock stops, and you have 10 days of service left to use anytime in the future.
You do. Everything lives in your name from day one—repo, hosting, domain, Stripe. If you cancel tomorrow, your product keeps running and you keep everything.
A Shibui subscription is never required just to keep your app alive. That would be gross.
We break them down. Full app rebuilds, App Store launches, “make it handle real users”—you’ll see a working, shippable slice every 24–48 hours until the whole thing is done.
Usually whatever your AI picked—most vibe-coded apps land on TypeScript, React, Next.js, and friends. We meet your code where it is instead of demanding a rewrite on day one.
No worries! We’ll revise until you’re 100% happy. And you’ll never have to explain the same bug twice.
A few things: blockchain and smart contracts, native desktop applications, hardware or firmware, 24/7 production on-call support, and data-science research projects.
That’s fine. Get it fixed, pause your subscription, and come back when the next “now what” moment hits. No need to let the rest of your month go to waste.
Due to the high quality nature of the work, there will be no refunds issued past the first week of service. However, no refunds will be issued for completed work.
For sure. Ship the scary parts, launch the thing, then go. Whether you need Shibui for a month or a year, the choice is yours.
