Token limits still bite. Refraction caps inputs at 8000 tokens—sounds generous until you're staring down a sprawling legacy class. The team bumped it up from 3000, so they're listening.
Paste code into Refraction. It spits back refactored versions, unit tests, or documentation. Pick from 56 languages. Not a typo. You get mainstream JavaScript and Python alongside oddities like CameLIGO and PascaLIGO. Backend engineers working in Scala or Elixir? Same treatment as frontend developers stuck in React components.
No ceremony required. Select your language. Choose what you need. Wait a few seconds. Over 13,000 developers have generated north of 65 million lines through it—real usage numbers.
Got a messy API handler that's grown arms and legs over three years? Refraction suggests cleaner patterns. Or at least generates the test coverage you've been avoiding. It won't solve architectural problems. Won't tell you your whole approach is wrong. But it handles tedious stuff.
There's a free plan. Main features aren't locked behind a paywall. You get access to refactoring, documentation, and test generation without pulling out a credit card. For something that's eaten this many languages (and keeps bumping its token ceiling), that's not the worst deal.
Just don't expect it to rewrite your entire codebase in one shot.
