A developer credential that proves what you built, NDA safe.
Your best work is probably under an NDA, so nobody can see it. Nobody trusts CVs anymore, they are so fakeable. Redential reads your git history on your own machine and turns it into a profile of what you actually built. Never your code, and you see exactly what gets shared before it does. Then you defend it live, answering questions about your own work. The result: a credential recruiters can trust more than a CV. The CLI is free and open source.
Here's the problem that made me build this: Nowadays a CV can be faked and polished, a github can be cloned, none of it shows anyone that you really know how to do the job.
So the question became: what can't be faked? The answer: work you actually did and the memory of doing it.
Here's how Redential works:
🔍 Scan your work, locally (Open Source CLI). Run 'npx redential scan' on any repo, no account needed. It reads your git history on your own machine and detects what you actually built with: not just "Stripe is installed", but real patterns, like a webhook flow with signature checks and duplicate-payment protection, connected.
You can also connect the github app to your repos if you don't choose the CLI path.
🔒 Your code never leaves your machine Only a small summary does: languages, activity, skills, and you see the exact data before anything uploads. This isn't a promise: the privacy rules are tests inside the open source repo, and you can run them yourself.
🪪 Get a public profile Your work becomes a credential you can share with recruiters: what you built, with what, for how long. Even the work nobody was allowed to see.
🎤 Defend it live This is the part that's hard to fake. You answer questions about your own work, in real time, generated from your own history. If you did the work, you remember it. If you copied a history, you don't.
⚖️ Honest by design Anything from your own machine can be faked — so we label that evidence as exactly what it is, and never call it verified until it's defended. No inflated claims, ever.
Getting started is free: scan your repos, build your public profile, and run your first live defense. For teams that hire, there's a dashboard and API to request and review defended profiles. Want it for your team? Book a call: https://cal.com/juan-redential/3...
The CLI is fully open source: https://github.com/redential/redential-cli - if you're technical and you can break the trust model, that's the feedback I want most. I want more contributors to help me improve the evidence and make a stronger credential.

Who hunted Redential?
Redential was hunted by Juan Belmont. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
