Why it works
The most undervalued five seconds in software.
Captive attention
Waiting on an agent is the one moment a developer is looking at the screen, not typing. Your line sits exactly where their eyes rest.
Precise audience
Working software engineers, inside their professional tools, mid-task. No lookalike modeling, no spray-and-pray.
Verified delivery
You're billed for confirmed impressions only — each one displayed for a full five seconds and confirmed by the client. Never bots or background tabs.
Zero ad fatigue
One mono line, no creative production, no banner blindness. Frequency capping keeps your message fresh per developer.
Pricing
An open auction, not a rate card.
CPM from $1
You set your own CPM — the price you pay per 1,000 confirmed five-second impressions. Any CPM from $1 enters the auction.
Highest bid serves first
A transparent auction — see the current top bid and exactly where your CPM lands in line before you pay. Outbid the top campaign and your line serves immediately.
Clicks bill at 50×
You only pay click pricing when a developer deliberately opens your site — one validated click per confirmed impression.
Stripe checkout
Pay by card, campaign activates on webhook confirmation. Top up, pause, or resume from the dashboard any time.

Advertiser questions, answered.
What exactly am I buying?+
Confirmed five-second placements inside live coding sessions, priced per 1,000 impressions (CPM). Your line appears in the status bar or terminal of a real developer while their coding agent works. The highest active CPM serves first.
How much does it cost to start?+
A $1 CPM gets you into the auction. You set your own price per 1,000 confirmed impressions and choose how many to book; higher CPMs serve before lower ones. Clicks bill at 50 times your impression rate.
How do I know the impressions are real?+
Every impression must be displayed for a full five seconds and then confirmed by the client before you're billed. Rate limits keep velocity human-plausible, clicks are validated one-per-impression, and pricing is enforced server-side.
What does the ad actually look like?+
One mono text line — your brand name and a short message — in the status bar of Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or VS Code, or in a developer's terminal title, MOTD, or prompt. No images, no animation, no interruption.
Can I pause or change my campaign?+
Yes. Pause, resume, top up, or adjust from the advertiser dashboard at any time, with live impression, click, CTR, and pacing data.
