Listed product details for Freebuff and Stroq
Detail	Freebuff	Stroq
Overview	Because it requires no payment or credit‑card information, Freebuff enables users to run coding agents in parallel on their machines or in the cloud while keeping their projects, eliminating the need for recurring fees of competing services.	Stroq is an open‑source Agent Guard that runs on Node 22+ and inspects where a command originated before allowing it to execute. It normalizes tool output, tracks provenance of packages or URLs, and blocks outbound calls that contain indexed secrets, reporting the variable and file name. By hooking into Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor and similar agents, Stroq applies deterministic, model‑free policies and logs every decision, helping developers prevent secret leaks and unintended actions without sending data to external services.
Listed features	Not listed	Normalization: strips zero‑width characters, folds homoglyphs, and decodes base64, hex and URLs two levels deep. Provenance: records the earlier tool output that introduced a package, URL or command fragment and reports it when later used. Secret Egress Guard: indexes secrets as salted hashes and denies any outbound call that includes a known secret, naming the variable and source file.
