Common questions

They play different roles. Platforms like NowSecure are built for deep, formal security testing of mobile apps, often across an entire organization. Cacomi is a lightweight scanner that lives on your Mac and checks your code and builds while you work. One does not replace the other. If you already use a testing platform, Cacomi helps you arrive there with cleaner code. If you do not, it gives you a sensible starting point, not a full security program.

Cacomi covers the everyday side of app security, the part that happens while you are still writing code. It scans your source and app binaries locally and flags unused code, log statements that may leak information, hardcoded secrets, insecure URLs and similar patterns. The goal is simple. Catch the issues you can fix in minutes today instead of discovering them in a report weeks later. Everything runs on your Mac, and your code never leaves your machine.

Because they look at different depths. Pentesting tools and manual reviews are at their best when they can dig into hard problems, not when they are listing hardcoded keys and leftover debug logs. When Cacomi helps you clear those basics during development, the deeper testing your team invests in comes back with shorter reports, fewer repeated findings and more attention on what actually matters.

It helps to be honest about the limits. Cacomi does not run dynamic analysis on real devices, does not monitor apps in production and does not produce certified compliance reports. It is not a substitute for pentesting tools, manual security review or a formal security process. Think of it as a local scanner and a solid baseline, one useful layer among several.

Keep it simple. Run Cacomi on your Mac while you build, fix what it finds while the context is still fresh, and keep sending your builds through the pentesting tools and reviews your team already trusts. You spend less time on avoidable findings, and the specialized tools get used for what they do best.
