Designed for the Agentic Era

AI agents spend minutes executing steps in the background. Stop waiting for free, and let your environment work for you.

Offset Token Costs

Autonomous agents can consume significant API tokens. Earnings are accumulated continuously to help cover your API bills.

Strict Privacy First

We never inspect your source code, local files, prompts, or proprietary logic. Only focused window state telemetry is tracked.

70% Payout Share

We distribute 70% of all ad impressions directly back to the developers executing the workloads. Direct Stripe payouts.

Lightweight Extensions

Seamless native plugins for VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Code CLI. Zero execution lag or editor bloat.

Staging & Metrics

Monitor live impressions, track pending payouts, configure payout schedules, and browse logs in your dashboard.

Multi-Sponsor Loop

High-quality, relevant developer sponsorships rotated intelligently every 60 seconds of focused active runtime.
