v0.12.25 Built on Code - OSSWindows x64
A complete development environment with BustaAI, BustaAgents, Git, Docker, DevOps, Graph and Architecture — all in one place.
Work directly in the editor or focus on your agents. No need to juggle separate apps and windows.
Free to download. AI provider subscriptions and API usage are separate.
Two modes. The same BustaAI.
01 · BustaCode
Your editor, terminal, debugger, extensions, Git tools and BustaAI in the same workspace.
02 · One click
It lives in the title bar, top left. Same window, same projects — and you keep the active conversation.
03 · BustaAgents
Hide the traditional IDE and give BustaAI the spotlight. Chat with agents, track their work and review changes.
Switch back to the editor at any time.
BustaAgents is not a separate application. It is a different view of the same BustaCode window, projects and conversations.
BustaAI
A unified chat with Ask, Plan and Agent modes and a consistent interface across supported providers.
Buenas noches, ¿qué tal?
Each provider uses its own execution engine. Accounts, API keys, subscriptions and usage limits stay with the provider.
Structured, editable context the agents can rely on.
Multiple agent chats in tabs, with separate status indicators and conversation history.
Everything in one window
No context switching between apps: the IDE, the agents and the infrastructure share one workspace.
Review diffs, changes, branches, history, worktrees and pull-request workflows.
Project-level MCP integrations through a local gateway with access controls.
Explore containers and logs, and inspect Linux hosts over SSH: CPU, memory, services and network ports.
Explore code relationships, dependencies, API routes, data models, DAOs and database tables.
View project architecture diagrams created with agent assistance and Archify.
Code - OSS extension compatibility with the Open VSX registry and manual VSIX installation.
Under the hood
BustaCode is a desktop development environment built on Code - OSS. Here is exactly what that means for you.
The MIT-licensed open-source foundation, with editor, terminal, debugger and extensions in one window.
The extension gallery is Open VSX, not Microsoft’s Visual Studio Marketplace. Some proprietary extensions may be unavailable; VSIX files install manually.
Project context and BustaAI’s local state are managed on your device. Relevant context is sent to the selected AI provider when you make a request.
Tool execution and permissions depend on the selected agent engine; BustaAI presents approval requests and activity information where supported.
The updater verifies release manifests and installer integrity using cryptographic signatures and checksums.

FAQ
Yes, the application installer is free to download. AI provider subscriptions, credits, APIs and usage limits are independent and may involve separate charges.
It is based on MIT-licensed Code - OSS, but BustaCode’s complete source is currently private. The public repository contains releases and community documentation.
They are two modes of the same application. The IDE includes editor, debugger and terminal. BustaAgents hides the traditional editor layout so you can focus on agent conversations, tasks and changes, then switch back without losing your session.
The published installer is for Windows x64.
BustaAI integrates with Codex, the official Cursor CLI over ACP, and the OpenAI API. Model availability, account requirements and capabilities depend on the provider.
BustaCode uses Open VSX and can install supported VSIX files. It does not use the Microsoft Visual Studio Marketplace, so proprietary Microsoft-only extensions may be unavailable.
Project context is maintained locally by BustaCode, but the relevant context and instructions are sent to the selected AI provider when you make a request. Your provider’s policies also apply.
Use BustaCode’s built-in update system or download from the official releases page. Installers and manifests are verified by the application’s update workflow.
