Claude Code Ads
75% of ad revenue goes to developers

Get paid while your AI thinks.

Claude Code spends half its time “thinking”. We sell that one idle line to advertisers, and pay you 75% of every dollar.

Three steps. Zero effort after that.

1

Install the extension

Grab it from the VS Code Marketplace. It works with the Claude Code terminal CLI, with Cursor and VS Code both supported.

2

Sign in once

One click in the status bar, authenticate in the browser, done. Your device starts serving the sponsored line immediately.

3

Watch the balance tick

Impressions accrue every five seconds Claude is thinking. Your live balance sits in the status bar; payouts go to PayPal.

Reversible by design. Private by default.

  • Uses Claude Code's own documented settings, and no binaries are modified, ever.
  • Your original settings are snapshotted before the first change and restored exactly on demand.
  • Never reads your code, prompts, or completions. Every ad is screened by AI moderation before it can serve.
  • One click disables everything; a remote killswitch protects the whole fleet.

Questions

Does this slow down or change Claude Code?

No. The only thing that changes is the text of the status line and the thinking verb. Every Claude Code feature works exactly as before, and one click restores your original settings byte-for-byte.

Can it read my code or prompts?

Never. The extension has no access to your code, prompts, or AI responses. It only checks file modification times to know a session is active, and swaps one line of display text.

How do I get paid?

Earnings accrue per impression while Claude is thinking. Once you reach $10, request a payout from your dashboard and you'll get paid out on PayPal (one payout per week).

How do I turn it off?

Open the menu from the status bar and choose Disable, or run the Restore command, and your original Claude Code settings come back instantly.
