Built for SMBs. By a solo founder. In public.
DMARC tooling shouldn't read like a compliance audit. We're building the version SMBs can actually use.
The problem
Most existing DMARC tools are 2018-vintage tables of XML data with pie charts. Built for compliance officers and SOC analysts. The pricing tiers are written for Fortune 500. The UI assumes you read RFCs for fun.
Meanwhile in 2024 Gmail and Yahoo started enforcing DMARC at the apex. Suddenly every SMB owner needs a DMARC posture, and the existing tools gatekeep that behind enterprise sales calls and dense screens.
Our take
Reports parsed into plain rows. Senders identified by name (SendGrid, Mailchimp) not AS number. Alignment trends visible in five seconds. An AI consultant that explains what to do next. Not "you have 12 compliance findings," but "your DKIM key on Mailchimp is 1024-bit; rotate to 2048 in their console."
And: free for 1 domain, forever. No card. The bet is that once monitoring works for one domain, customers bring more.
The team
Solo founder. AI-augmented engineering. Every line of code is shipped against a documented spec, every page walked live before it merges. The ROADMAP, ENGINEERING_SPEC, and per-feature design docs live in the repo. The doctrine for visual + interaction excellence is at /learn and inside the codebase.
The stack
- Cloudflare for Workers, R2, KV, Vectorize, Email Routing, Web Analytics. Single edge, sub-50ms globally.
- Neon for Postgres tenant data. Drizzle ORM. Migrations versioned in the repo.
- Clerk for auth + workspace management. SSO when you need it; modal when you don't.
- Anthropic Claude for the AI work. Haiku 4.5 for plain-English summaries, Opus 4.7 for engineering. Strict grounding so the help bot only answers from /learn.
- No Sentry, Snowflake, Datadog, Salesforce, segment, intercom, mixpanel, fivetran. We add a vendor only when an MVP built-in stops being enough.
Mission
Make email authentication legible. SMBs deserve the same posture as enterprises, without the sales call, the consulting fee, or the pie-chart dashboard.
