Our Story

Know if your dependencies are healthy.

We're on a mission to help developers avoid abandoned dependencies and make informed decisions about package health before they become blockers.

Why Check exists

The Lightbulb Moment

"What if we could spot abandoned dependencies before they become blockers?"

As engineers ourselves, we've all been there: you add a dependency to your project, it works great initially, but months later you discover it hasn't been updated in years. Security vulnerabilities pile up, compatibility issues emerge, and suddenly you're stuck with tech debt that slows down your entire team.

We realised that while tools like Snyk and Dependabot focus on security vulnerabilities, there was no simple way to assess the ongoing health and maintenance viability of dependencies. Most developers only discover a package is abandoned when it's too late; when they need a critical update or fix that will never come.

So we built Check - a dependency health dashboard that analyses community activity, maintenance signals, and release cadence to give you instant health scores. Upload your package.json, requirements.txt, or Cargo.toml and get actionable insights to avoid risky dependencies before they become blockers.

Our Values

What drives us forward

These principles guide every decision we make and every feature we build.

Dependency-First

We believe dependencies are critical infrastructure. Understanding their health, maintenance status, and community activity helps you make better decisions.

Prevent Tech Debt

Spot abandoned dependencies and risky packages early. Get instant health scores so you can make informed decisions before committing to a library.

Simple & Fast

No complex integrations needed. Just upload your manifest file and get instant health scores. Built for developers who want answers fast, not more tools to configure.

Developer Experience First

Built by engineers, for engineers. Every feature is designed to help you ship faster by avoiding dependencies that will slow you down later.

Our Journey

From idea to reality

Here's how we've grown from a simple idea to a platform trusted by engineering teams worldwide.

The initial idea for Check was born from our own frustrations dealing with abandoned dependencies and stale packages that caused production issues.

December 2025

Started building the MVP with a focus on dependency health scoring and helping developers avoid risky packages before they become blockers.
