How it works

The whole idea, in three steps.

Useful enough to keep. Quiet enough to forget. Reversible enough to trust.

01

Paste one command

The open client installs itself through Claude Code's documented status-line interface. It backs up your Claude settings before it changes anything.

02

Keep coding — a quiet sponsor appears

A sponsor-flavored verb and a clearly labeled status line ride in your Claude Code terminal, only while your agent is working. That's the whole placement.

03

Reverse it anytime, see every receipt

One command restores your settings. The ledger records deduplicated render receipts so your 50% revenue share is easy to inspect.

The placement

Your ad, right in the Claude Code terminal.

A sponsor-flavored verb and a clearly labeled status line — exactly what a developer sees while Claude is working. Clearly marked, only visible during a run, and gone with a single uninstall command.
