Hi Product Hunt Fam! We built an ad layer for one of the most used tools of the generation! Developers stare at a blinking cursor for hours every day, waiting for AI to finish thinking. We turned that dead time into something useful. IdleDev is an ad platform built for the terminal, where developers actually live in 2025. Native ads in the Claude Code status line, opt-in by design, with revenue going directly to the developer running the session. No browser. No banner. No interruption. Just a quiet line of text while the AI does its thing. Would love your views on this!

I don't use the Claude Code CLI, my preference is @opencode , are you planning to expand to other tools?

@ishaan_5 Awesome news, thanks for the update. I'll sign up and give it a go as soon as I have time.

The opt-in + labeled ad approach matters here. Developer attention is sacred, so I like that you’re avoiding popups and browser surfaces. How do you decide what kinds of ads are acceptable inside a coding status line?

@sarveshsea Hi Sarvesh! Glad you liked it. For now there is approval system for all the ads to prevent unsafe content.

This is a weirdly smart use of idle AI time. As long as it stays opt-in, clearly labeled, and doesn’t touch code or prompts, the terminal placement actually makes sense.

I am using @opencode with @IdleDev . I have signed in with the same gmail account on both. I have followed all the steps mentioned in the @IdleDev website and am getting the ads in @opencode . But, the earnings are not increasing. It would be helpful if anyone could check onto this.
Thank you.
