advibing
Advertisers pay your coding bills. Earn passively while Claude Code works — a tiny, tasteful sponsored line in your terminal turns your agent's busy moments into real money. You just code.
While Claude Code is thinking and building, Advibing shows a small Ad ✦ … on the status line and a
sponsor word in the spinner. Advertisers bid for that slot; up to 50% of the revenue is credited to
you — per impression, and 50× per click.
npm install -g advibingadvibing install # wire it into Claude Code & start earning
advibing login # link this device to your account (opens your browser)
advibing earnings # watch the money add upThat's the whole setup. Not sure what to do next? Just run advibing — it always shows your next step.
Why you'll want it
- 💸 Earn while you code. No effort, no surveys, no pop-ups. Your agent's working moments quietly accrue impressions and clicks.
- 🤝 Up to 50% revenue share — credited per impression; a click is worth 50 impressions.
- 🧘 Zero interference. The ad changes only at task boundaries — once per agent turn, never mid-thought. No flicker, no eye strain. Dial it down or off whenever you like.
- 🔒 It never reads your code. Your prompts, code, and output never leave your machine — only impression/click counts and anti-fraud signals are sent.
- ↩️ Fully reversible. One command restores your Claude Code settings exactly.
Where the ad shows
Advibing only ever writes to your own Claude Code config (~/.claude/settings.json), and the ad
appears in two places inside the terminal — only while your agent is actually working:
| Surface | Looks like | Clickable? |
|---|---|---|
| Status line (bottom) | Ad ✦ Neon · serverless Postgres · 42 impr | ✅ — opens the sponsor; this is what counts impressions & clicks |
| Spinner (while "thinking") | a sponsor phrase blended into the spinner words | display only |
What keeps it tasteful, not spammy:
- Work-gated — impressions accrue only while the agent is genuinely computing. An idle terminal earns nothing.
- One ad per task — the line advances when your agent finishes a step, not on a fast timer.
- No sponsor bidding right now? The slot shows a gentle
✦ Advibing — looking for sponsors →(clickable to advertise) — never a random ad.

Tune how much it shows
Prefer a cleaner terminal? Dial the ad intensity (it syncs across every device you're signed in on):
advibing intensity 100 # always show — default, max earnings
advibing intensity 50 # show ~half the time; the rest of the turns stay clean
advibing intensity off # no ads on this device (earns nothing until you raise it)Good to know
- Reversible by design.
advibing installbacks up your settings to~/.advibing/backups/first, andadvibing uninstallrestores them.advibing offpauses without removing anything; runadvibing statusto see exactly what's configured. - Fair by design. Earnings are capped to a single screen of human attention, so opening many terminals never multiplies impressions — and advertisers only pay for real, work-gated exposure.
- Payouts. Earnings clear after a short fraud-hold, then you withdraw from your dashboard once you pass the minimum (Stripe today; WeChat coming).
- Privacy. Advibing transmits counts and anti-fraud signals only — never content. See https://advibing.com/privacy.
