For developers using Claude Code.
One quiet line. Real auction. Your share.
A small, well mannered ad lives inside the wait between your prompt and the response. Half of every dollar advertisers spend is yours — up to $90 a month while you code.
Works in Claude Code inside VS Code, Cursor, and the integrated terminal.

The math
$0.045 per impression.
Half of every cent comes home.
Average developer using Claude Code daily sees roughly 200 spinner cycles a day. At our current floor that pays you about $4 a day, or $120 a month, for letting an ad ride on a moment you were already waiting through.
Clicks pay fifty times an impression. A single thoughtful ad placement can lift a day's earnings above the price of a coffee.
For advertisers
Reach developers in their flow.
The most expensive minute in software is the minute a senior engineer spends waiting. BoringSpinner sells you that minute, with an attribution model that pays only for validated impressions.
Fund a balance for as little as $5. Win the auction. Watch your spend turn into pipeline.
Top earners
Real developers, real balances.

What we never do
Privacy is the product.
Your code stays yours.
The extension never reads your prompts, files, completions, or terminal history.
One network destination.
The only host the client talks to is api.boringspinner.com. You can audit it from the source.
Bots never pay.
A live saturation gate caps impressions per device and shadow disables synthetic traffic before it reaches the ledger.
Money on paper.
Every dollar in and out lives in a triple entry ledger. The math is verifiable per impression.
