Make money while your AI works.

It scales with how much your AI works and the live bid price — and clicks pay 50× an impression. Think of it as your AI partly paying for itself, on time you'd burn waiting anyway. It won't replace your salary — it's found money on dead time. (Earnings are estimates, not a guarantee.)

One sponsored line shown during one genuine wait-state — while your AI is actually thinking. No wait, no line, no impression. We never manufacture waits to serve more ads.

You keep 50% of the revenue your wait-time earns, tracked in real time in the status bar. Cash out via Stripe once your balance passes $10.

No — never your prompts, your code, or your conversations. The only signal idlepay uses is the timestamp of your Claude session's transcript file, to tell "actively coding" from "a terminal left open" (so advertisers only pay for real attention). And you don't have to take our word for it: the client is open source.

Check, don't trust. Every line that runs on your machine is open source; the script wired into your Claude Code config makes zero network calls (~50 lines — read it); the extension ships signed through the official marketplace, and verify.sh proves each published version was built from the public source.
