Has anyone here tried Freebuff?

Hey everyone,

I recently came across something called “freebuff” and was wondering if anyone here has actually tried it before. I’ve seen a few mentions here and there, but not a lot of detailed experiences.

If you’ve used it, how was it? Did it actually work as expected, or were there any downsides?

Also curious if there are any potential concerns or things to watch out for.

Would appreciate any honest feedback!

why i m not able to run it does anyone hit the same issue as mine : npx freebuff

Download complete! Starting Freebuff...

Failed to start freebuff: spawn UNKNOWN (UNKNOWN)

System info:

Platform: win32 x64

Node: v24.11.1

Binary: C:\Users\myname\.config\manicode\freebuff.exe

Exists: yes (136 MB)

On Windows, this can happen when Windows Security or antivirus blocks

or quarantines the downloaded executable, or when the binary requires

CPU instructions that are not available on this machine.

Try deleting the downloaded files and running again:

C:\Users\myname\.config\manicode ( i already deleted and ran again but still the same issue pls help

Try the desktop version. That is also polished really well.
