Earn While You Vibe Code

Your AI coding agent makes you wait anyway. Why not get paid for those idle moments? Codecash offers a unique revenue share model where developers can earn by showing one tasteful sponsored line during the AI's wait states.

How It Works

Codecash is built to be trusted, ensuring your privacy and more than just an ad network. It operates with three core principles:

• 70% Revenue Share: Most of the revenue goes to you—the developer who showed the ad—not the platform.
• Privacy First: It never touches your work. Only one line in the wait state is rendered, never the model's output or your context. It never reads your code and can be turned off with a single click.
• Signed and Reversible: Server-signed impressions and signed auto-updates ensure security. Your original settings are backed up and restored automatically upon uninstall.

Transparency

The economics are numbers you can audit. Revenue is computed from marketplace constants that the API bills against, ensuring no drift from what the ledger pays.

Getting Started in Three Steps

The process is designed to be seamless and automated:

1. Connect Your Editor: Install the codecash extension or CLI and link it to your account with one click. No code is ever read or transmitted.
2. Enable the Line: Codecash renders one sponsored line in your agent's wait states. Your original settings are backed up before any changes occur.
3. Accrue and Cash Out: Every line shown for 5 seconds credits your ledger in real-time. Track earnings live on your dashboard and cash out to your bank or debit card via Stripe once you clear $10.

Supported Tools

Codecash currently supports Claude Code, whether used in a terminal (including Cursor, Windsurf, and Google Antigravity) or within the VS Code panel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does codecash read my code?

No. Codecash only renders one sponsored line in the AI's wait state—the spinner verb and status line. It never reads, stores, or transmits your code, prompts, or or model output.

How much can I earn?

70% of the revenue from every ad confirmed on screen. Your earnings depend on how much you use your AI coding agent, as ads only appear while you're actively waiting on it.

How and when do I get paid?

Your earnings accrue to your dashboard ledger in real-time, and cash-out to a bank or debit card is live. Connect a payout account through Stripe from your dashboard, then withdraw any time your balance clears $10.

Is it safe?

Codeccash only writes Claude Code's own documented settings—the same spinner verb and spinner status line you can configure yourself. It never patches or injects into Anthropic's app or any other extension, backs up your original settings before changing them, signs every update, and restores everything when you disable or uninstall.

How do I turn it off?

One click. Disable codecash from the extension or sign out, and your original editor settings are restored from the backup it made.

Does codecash cost anything?

No. Codecash is free to install and use. Advertisers pay to show a line, and you earn a 70% share for showing it—you never pay.
