The code-intelligence platform
we wish we'd had.
We built Impact because the existing tools — SonarQube, CodeClimate, Snyk, ArchUnit — each solved a single dimension well, but none of them gave you the whole picture in one place at a price that made sense for normal-sized teams. So we built one product that does all of it, and we ship it for a tenth of what those tools cost combined.
Mission
Make code quality, security, and architecture legible to every engineer on every team.
Not just to the senior engineer who's been on the team for five years. Not just to the architect with the whiteboard. To every person making a commit, today, who deserves to know what their change is actually going to do.
How we work
Four things we won't compromise on.
Truth over comfort
If your code has 4,000 hours of debt, we'll show you the number. If your reliability is D and not A, that's what you'll see. We don't grade on a curve — and we don't make scores look better than they are just because customers want a green chart.
Speed is a feature
Analysis under 30 seconds for the median repo. WebSocket-streamed progress. Zero-config setup. If you have to read a manual to scan a project, we failed somewhere.
Customer code stays customer code
We don't train on your source. We don't surveil your developers. We don't show you ads. The only thing we do with your data is help you understand it — and you can take all of it with you the day you leave.
Built by people who ship
Every metric in Impact came from a real frustration on a real team. Truck factor, hotspot rollup, cognitive complexity, blast radius — these are not academic exercises. They're answers to questions we got tired of guessing at.
Where we came from
The short version.
Project starts
Initial detector + parser written for an internal C# codebase. Built specifically to replace a SonarQube Enterprise license that cost more than the engineering team using it.
Multi-language expansion
Added JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, Go. Tree-sitter dispatcher work begins (landing in Q3 2026). Quality and security rules adopted from SonarQube's open ruleset.
3D dependency graph
WebGL force-directed graph shipped. The first time anyone could click around their codebase architecture interactively without needing a desktop app.
Code Intelligence dashboard
Seven-pillar rollup goes live: code quality, temporal risk, architecture, security, business value, human knowledge, modern ecosystem. Industry-standard scoring aligned with SonarQube's SQALE methodology.
Enterprise launch
SOC 2 Type II in progress. SAML SSO via WorkOS. Audit logging. PR comment bot. VS Code and JetBrains extensions on the roadmap. Where you're reading this now.
