The Verdict
ChakraView is the right choice if you're a developer who lives in the terminal and wants code scanning baked into your local workflow with zero data leaving your machine. VibeCheck is the right choice if you're a vibe coder who wants to paste a GitHub URL and get a visual security report in 30 seconds without installing anything. Most vibe coders aren't terminal-first developers. That's the whole point of vibe coding. For that audience, VibeCheck's web-based approach removes the biggest friction: setup.

About VibeCheck
VibeCheck is a free security scanner built specifically for vibe-coded applications. It scans both your GitHub source code and deployed live sites for the vulnerabilities that AI code generators commonly introduce: hardcoded API keys, missing Supabase Row Level Security, exposed Firebase configurations, open CORS policies, and more. Every finding includes a plain-English fix and an AI prompt you can paste into your coding tool to resolve the issue.

CLI-based security scanner for AI-generated code repositories. Technical developers who prefer CLI tools and want to integrate security scanning into their local workflow.
Which should you choose?
The right tool depends on your situation. If you just vibe-coded an app with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, or Google AI Studio and want a quick security sanity check before sharing it, VibeCheck gets you there in 30 seconds with zero setup. If you need more comprehensive detection patterns, ChakraView may be worth the investment.
