Overview

InsurStaq is a security engineer that lives on your Mac.

Point it at your repo and it finds the security bugs that actually matter: injection, exposed secrets (even old ones buried in Git history), vulnerable dependencies, weak crypto and risky cloud or container config. For each one it shows how an attacker could reach it, down to the exact file and line, and explains it in plain English.

When you want a fix, it drafts one for you to review. Nothing changes until you approve it, and every fix is re-scanned on your Mac.

Building with Cursor, Claude Code or Codex? InsurStaq Guard checks what your AI coding tool changed and flags new security problems before they ship.

Scanning and InsurStaq's own security model, fine-tuned for security work, run on your Mac. InsurStaq never uploads your source code to our servers, and there's no cloud scanning. Connecting your own AI provider is optional.

Needs macOS 14 or later (built for Apple silicon). Plans start at $29/month.

Who is it for?

Developers, Indie Hackers, Founders, Startups

Problem

AI coding tools write code faster than anyone can review it, and most security scanners either bury you in noise or want your source code on their servers. As a solo builder or small team, you don't have time for either.

Solution

InsurStaq reviews your repo on your Mac: it finds the real issues, shows the attack path to the exact line, explains each one in plain English and drafts a fix you approve. Guard re-checks the changes your AI coding tool makes before they ship.

What makes it unique

Private by design: the scanning and InsurStaq's own AI run on your Mac, so your source code is never uploaded to us (connecting your own AI provider is optional). Instead of a long list of warnings, it shows how an attacker would actually reach each bug, and every fix is re-scanned before you call it done.

FAQ

Does my code leave my Mac?

Not to us. Scanning and InsurStaq's own AI run on your Mac, and InsurStaq never uploads your source code. If you choose to connect your own AI provider, the code context for that request goes to that provider.

Does it work with AI coding tools like Cursor or Claude Code?

Yes. Guard checks the changes made by any editor or AI coding tool, such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex or GitHub Copilot, and free plugins let those agents ask InsurStaq to check their work before you ship.

What Mac do I need?

macOS 14 or later. It's built for Apple silicon, and we recommend 16 GB of memory for the AI features; scanning alone runs fine on 8 GB.

How much does it cost?

Individual is $29/month, or $290/year (12 months for the price of 10). Team is $149/month for 5 users. Guard is included in every plan. There's no free trial.
