See your Kickbacks.ai status, live earnings, and ad history in the terminal and Mac menu bar.
Product Hunt
I got tired of having to open/look at Visual Code to see how much I was earning on @Kickbacks.ai so I built a CLI and Mac Menu bar tool to easily see how much I was making, the ads I saw, and which days, weeks, and months I earned the most.
Feel free to leave feedback and hope folks enjoy :)
The compact two-line earnings view that lives in the terminal is a genuinely nice touch — one less dashboard tab to babysit. On the plumbing: does the CLI keep your Kickbacks token in the macOS Keychain or a plaintext dotfile, and does the menu bar app poll the API on an interval or hold a live connection for the real-time earnings?
Love that the menu bar app stays in sync with the CLI without a clunky refresh button, and the fact that I can pipe live earnings into other tools without copy-pasting from a dashboard. The little touches like a compact earnings view that fits in two lines of terminal real estate is a nice nod to people who actually live in their shell.
Gabe, this is such a builder move :))
Getting tired of opening VS Code just to check earnings, then casually shipping a CLI and menu bar app for it... honestly very on-brand. I really like how focused it is too: status, live earnings, ad history, and simple trends without adding unnecessary complexity. The Mac menu bar version is probably what I'd end up checking way too often :)
