“I forgot it was even running. Then I had forty bucks at the end of the month for staring at the same spinners I always stare at.”
“Finally, the loading state does something useful. One line, clearly labeled, and the payout just shows up.”
Questions, answered.
No. The sponsored line only appears where a loading spinner already was, for as long as your agent is thinking. One ephemeral element is swapped for another — nothing is added to your screen.
Your balance settles in real time and pays out weekly via Stripe once you pass the $10 minimum. Connect a payout method in the Earn dashboard.
Developer-relevant tools only — infra, APIs, dev services. Every line is clearly labeled as sponsored, and you can block any advertiser or category.
VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed and four more, all with the same one-line install. New editors are added based on demand.
Instantly. There is a kill switch in the extension and in your dashboard — disable it for a session or for good, no questions asked.
