yes, it's an ad network. your prompts never leave your machine.
You're coding anyway. Bacon rides along, drops the occasional clearly-labeled ad next to a reply, and pays you 50%of the placement's base rate. Free to install, opt-in, and yours to throttle. Your prompt never leaves your machine — only a coarse intent signal does.
Costs you nothing, asks for nothing. Set ad frequency to minimal anytime and watch your balance in real time from the dashboard.
// 01 · how it works, for devs
You're already running prompts all day. Bacon just lets a few of them earn — and you decide how few.
01
One command in Claude Code, then sign in to start earning. You stay anonymous to advertisers by default — they see only a coarse intent label.
02
Once in a while, a labeled text ad shows up next to a reply. That's it. No popups, no autoplay, no tracking pixels.
03
You earn a share of every ad that fills. Cash out weekly via Stripe once you clear $10 — or ask Claude how much bacon you've made.
more ads = more earnings, but it's your call
your prompts / day100
heavy agentic sessions hit the high end fast
at this setting, you'd see about300labeled ads / month
Each one that fills pays you a share of its winning bid. We're not going to dangle a dollar figure — real pay depends on fill rate and demand, and most devs clear a few dollars a month (heavy users at full frequency, more). It's found money for work you were doing anyway, not a paycheck. Turn it down to minimal, or off, whenever.
// 02 · privacy & transparency
An ad network you don't trust is spyware with extra steps. So here's the whole mechanism, no NDA required: what leaves your machine, what never does, and the dial you control.
More context means more relevant ads, which means more earnings. You decide how far up the ladder to go. Every rung past zero is explicit and reversible.
Intent is derived locally. We receive a label like “auth”, never the sentence you typed. Not at tier 0, not at tier 2.
No native ads, no disguised links, no “suggested by Claude.” If it’s an ad, it says ad. Every time.
You create an account to earn, then by default you stay anonymous to advertisers — just a coarse intent label, never your identity. Higher consent tiers are opt-in and reversible.
Uninstall the plugin and the data stops, instantly. No retention games, no “contact us to delete.”
// 03 · the math
No dark-pattern accounting. Every filled impression is split the same way, every time — here's the whole formula.
We quote a split, not a per-ad price, on purpose: winning bids move with demand and your profile, and unfilled slots pay nothing. So earnings track your usage — most devs make a few dollars a month, heavy users more. It's found money for coding you were doing anyway, not a paycheck.
your split
50%
of each placement's base rate. The network keeps the rest.
// 04 · ad formats
Five surfaces, least to most intrusive — spinner, statusline, strip, card, marquee — rendered exactly as the plugin prints them in your terminal. The spinner and statusline never touch the reply; the rest ride in context. Always labeled, always fake brands in the demo. Pick one and watch where it lands.

// every surface shares one constraint: the 🥓 Sponsored marker ships with the slot — no dark patterns, no bait-and-switch.
// 05 · for advertisers
Not "developers aged 25–34." Developers who are right now fighting an auth bug, picking a database, or shipping to prod — inside the tool they trust most. Targeting comes from real coding context, not cookies.
// plus higher-intent context placements (inline mention $15, tool suggest $20 floors). Effective CPM = your bid × the surface multiplier, floored — never the raw bid.
Top up a wallet; it funds impressions directly. No monthly minimum, no plan — you spend what you fund.
Bid a CPM per campaign. Highest effective bid in the eligible pool wins the slot; you pay your bid.
Spinner, statusline, strip, and card run on any budget; $100 cumulative funding unlocks the premium surfaces. Effective CPM = your bid × the surface multiplier, never below its floor.
Target real coding context — auth, database, deploy, payments — not cookies. Set a daily budget; pacing stops you at it.
<5% invalid traffic via 4-layer detection + a 72h hold before payout. The developer keeps 50% of the surface's base rate.
