Get paid while your AI agent thinks. IdleDev runs one opt-in, clearly labeled sponsor sidebar beside your AI coding agent while you work. 65% of ad revenue goes to you. No popups, no browser, no interruption, and we never read your code, files, or prompts. Works with Claude, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, and more. Install in 30 seconds, earn from impressions and clicks.

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 2026. 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 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.

Hi chanda!
Its not an issue with the working. You must be seeing the default Idledev ad. Currently we are in the phase of onboarding and approving ads. Soon you will be able to see different ads and the earnings will be reflected in your dashboard. We are also coming up with very exciting features for both users and advertisers. We will send a mail to everyone regarding the updates. Stay tuned!
If you have any further question, you can contact us at contact@idledev.xyz

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?

I don't use the Claude Code CLI, my preference is @opencode , are you planning to expand to other tools?
IdleDev
@codeandsea Hi Brent, Yes we are actively working on expanding to other platforms, will roll out to Opencode soon.

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