Three steps. One command.

01

Install

Run one command. Ticker wires a status line into Claude Code and mints you a publisher key. Nothing else changes.

02

Ads show while Claude works

A clean, text-only sponsored line appears next to your live earnings during the wait. Relevant to what you build, never noisy.

03

You get paid

Every validated view and click credits your balance. Watch it climb in your dashboard. Keep 70% of all revenue.

Your spinner is inventory. Cash it in.

The Claude Code spinner and status line are some of the most-watched pixels in software right now. Ticker is the only marketplace that monetizes both, pays the highest developer share in the category, and keeps the ads text-clean and relevant.

  • 70% revenue share — beats every alternative
  • Status line and spinner, not just one surface
  • Text-only, developer-relevant, never animated junk
  • Backed by a real advertiser exchange, slots never empty

Estimate only, at a $6 effective CPM and a 70% share. Real earnings depend on advertiser demand and how much your sessions actually run.

Privacy by design

Your code never leaves your machine.

Ticker only sends coarse, non-identifying signals to pick a relevant ad: a language label, the model in use, and a coarse region from your IP. Never file contents, never paths, never prompts. Uninstall removes everything with one command.

lang: "typescript",

region: "US"
}
// what it never sends: your code.

Start earning in under a minute.

Install Ticker, keep coding, and let the wait pay you back.
