Manicode is a CLI-based coding agent – invoke it in your Terminal and ask it to write code for you. Manicode launched on BookFace last week and got 500 downloads and 60+ upvotes!
It’s a Cursor alternative that’s simpler and frequently performs better. Try it out:
Manicode is different from all the other coding agents, they swear!
It chooses files to read automatically on each message — unlike Cursor’s composer feature. This saves you time and makes Manicode respond more comprehensively.
It takes 0 clicks — type your instructions and Manicode will edit your files directly. It's simple and fast. Theoretically, you can do all your development by just chatting with it!
It has full access to your existing tools, scripts, and packages — Manicode can install packages, run terminal commands and tests, etc. Whatever awk/grep/pip install stuff you used to do, Manicode can do it for you instead!
It is portable to any development environment — no lock-in here! Feel free to bring your IDE: VSCode, Cursor, Vim, Emacs, Replit, or plain text editor (if you’re a monster).
It doesn’t store your codebase — it just passes individual files along to OpenAI and Anthropic as is necessary to generate code. Manicode didn’t even have a database until a couple weeks ago!
Manicode can write code for every tech stack – they know because the founders have built software from full-stack web apps to IoT device firmware.
