Codebuff
Terminal-based AI coding agent
Overview
Codebuff is a CLI coding agent — runs in your terminal, reads your codebase, makes multi-file edits, runs tests, iterates until things work. Free at low usage; subscription for higher limits. Strong reputation for not over-engineering small changes.

ASEAN Perspective
Codebuff in Southeast Asia
ASEAN-region availability and pricing notes coming soon. Drop the editorial team a note via /contact/ if you can supply local context (Singapore/Malaysia/Indonesia/Thailand/Vietnam).
Codebuff is an open-source, terminal-first AI coding agent that understands your codebase and edits files directly from the command line, with an SDK for embedding it into projects. For developers who live in the terminal and want a transparent, scriptable alternative to IDE-bound assistants, it is a capable and refreshingly open option, with a free ad-supported tier (Freebuff) lowering the barrier to try it.
It suits CLI-comfortable developers and automation builders; those wanting a rich IDE UI will prefer Cursor or Copilot. Honest caveats: it is a smaller, younger project so the ecosystem and polish trail the leaders, credit/pay-as-you-go costs (around 1¢/credit) can add up on heavy use, and as an agent it needs review of its changes. The API/SDK and open codebase are genuine pluses. Usable worldwide from ASEAN in English.
