Stop getting robbed.
Start getting paid.
Your code ships encrypted and runs only while you allow it. Invoice unpaid? One toggle and their site goes dark.
You built their product. They made you beg for the invoice.
Every developer has the story. You do great work. They delay, dispute, or disappear. And you have zero leverage because you already handed over the code.
Four layers of leverage. One outcome. They pay.
Encryption stops the copy. Enforcement stops the excuse. You need both, and they have to be the same system.
The client gets everything. The code only runs when you say so. One toggle and their site goes dark.
Every source file is encrypted before it leaves your machine. Keys never leave the server, and they are derived per request rather than stored. What the client receives cannot be read without them.
Bound to the domain you authorise. Moved to another server, resold, forked — it won't run.
Mark the invoice paid and access re-enables on the next status check — no manual steps, no waiting, no re-deploy. The client never has to ask you to turn it back on.
Every delivery timestamped, every status check logged. Exportable as a PDF when a client rewrites history.
The CLI handles the encryption step for any project it can build, and the runtime middleware ships for Next.js and Express. Two lines in your app, one command before you hand over the build — and the enforcement layer is live. If you are on something else, email us before you subscribe and we will tell you straight whether it fits.
Three steps. Then you never chase an invoice again.
Before you hand anything over, run one command. The client gets the full project — every file, every folder. But the code only runs when you authorise it. You hold the switch. You always hold the switch.
One toggle in your dashboard. That's it. Their live site shows a payment screen — “Service suspended. Contact your developer.” No workaround. No bypass. No negotiation. They feel it before they even open your message.
Mark the invoice paid. Access re-enables instantly — no manual steps, no waiting. The full audit trail is logged: what was locked, when, for how long, and what triggered the restore. Professional. Documented. Done.
Costs less than the invoice you lost.
Every plan protects your code from day one. Cancel any time.
