adline

Earn 50% rev-share on ads shown in your Claude Code statusline.

No tracking. No code reads. Just a tiny sponsored message while you wait.

Install

claude plugin marketplace add adline/adline

Or manually:

git clone https://github.com/adline/adline ~/.claude/plugins/adline
bash ~/.claude/plugins/adline/setup.sh

Then restart Claude Code.

How it works

• adline patches one line in ~/.claude/settings.json (the statusLine hook)
• Claude Code calls statusline.js every ~300ms and renders the first line of stdout below your prompt
• statusline.js reads an ad from a local cache file — no network calls in the hot path
• A background worker (sync.js) refreshes the ad every 60s and uploads anonymous impression counts
• You earn 50% of ad revenue pro-rated by impressions

Privacy

• Never reads your code, files, or project paths
• Never reads Claude Code's session input/output
• Only sends: anonymous user ID + impression counts
• Opt out anytime: bash ~/.claude/plugins/adline/teardown.sh

Earnings

After install, your personal dashboard:

cat ~/.adline/config.json  # find your token
# then visit https://adline.dev/me/<token>

Uninstall

bash ~/.claude/plugins/adline/teardown.sh
rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/adline ~/.adline
