App Rescue: Finish a Stalled or Half-Built App

You paid for an app. The developer went quiet, the project stalled, or what you got half works and nobody will finish it. It is one of the most stressful positions a business owner can be in, and it is more common than anyone admits. Built by Buit takes over stalled and half-finished software, gets it working, and gets it launched. An app rescue is built for exactly this situation.

If any of this sounds familiar, we can help

  • Your developer disappeared, went unresponsive, or is dragging the project out.
  • The app is 70 percent done and stuck, and you cannot tell what is left.
  • It launched but is buggy, slow, or breaks in ways nobody fixes.
  • You have the code but no one who understands it.
  • You are being asked for more money to finish something that should already be done.

How an app rescue works

1. Honest assessment

First we look at what you actually have: the code, the accounts, and how far along it really is. Sometimes the work is better than you feared and the finish line is close. Sometimes parts need to be redone. Either way, you get the truth, in plain English, before you spend another dollar. No scare tactics, no pressure to rebuild things that are fine.

2. A clear plan to the finish

You get a written list of what is left, what it costs, and how long it takes to get to launch. Fixed scope, so you are not signing another blank check.

3. We finish it

We complete the build, fix what is broken, and get it live, working directly with you the whole way. Then you can keep us on a care plan so it never goes unmaintained again.

Why this is different from where you started

The reason projects stall is usually the same: no direct line to the person writing the code, no fixed scope, and no real ownership handed over. We fix all three. You work directly with the developer, the scope is written down, and you own your app, your data, and your accounts, with the source code available to you. You are never left in this position again.

First, secure what you have

If you are in this spot right now, one piece of honest advice: make sure you have access to your own code and accounts, the hosting, the app store logins, the domain, the repository. If you do not, getting them is step one, and we can help you figure out how. Your project is yours, even when the person who built it goes quiet.

Common questions

What if I do not have the source code?

We help you track down what you own and what you can recover. In some cases we can work from what is deployed while we sort out access. Step one is always figuring out exactly what you have.

Will you just tell me to start over?

Only if it is genuinely the cheaper path, and we will prove why. Usually we finish what exists. Rebuilding from scratch is the last resort, not the opening pitch.

How fast can it be done?

It depends on how much is left and what shape it is in, which is exactly what the assessment tells you. You get a real timeline before any work starts.
