sponsor the wait

Developers stare at agent spinners for hours a day. Your line runs in that dead air — across every Codex and Gemini CLI session on the network. Plain text, clearly marked, no tracking pixels, no cookies.

Every creative is human-reviewed before it goes live: max 60 characters, plain ASCII, no fake errors or system-message impersonation, nothing that would make a developer distrust their own terminal. We bill verified rendered wait-time, never raw session time.

$250/mo — founding rate

what your line looks like

One sponsored line, clearly attributed, exactly where a developer is already looking. Real renders from the three surface types:

$ deadair codex exec "fix the failing tests" ⠹ Your one-liner goes here - yourco.com

Codex — our ad spinner draws the line while Codex works. Billed on verified rendered seconds.

$ deadair gemini ✦ Your one-liner goes here - yourco.com (esc to cancel · 8s)

Gemini CLI — your line runs as a native loading phrase inside Gemini's own spinner. Reported as estimated impressions.

$ deadair hermes ──────────────────────────────────────── ▸ Your one-liner goes here - yourco.com ────────────────────────────────────────

Every other agent — entry and exit banner around the session (deadair hermes, openclaw, aider, copilot, anything). On modern terminals every rendered line is a clickable hyperlink to your site, through our click-logging redirect.

measurement & anti-fraud

Every line we render is a terminal hyperlink through a logged redirect — we count clicks per creative, per surface, per country, and report CTR alongside impressions. Impressions are counted in 5-second units of verified rendered wait-time on surfaces we draw ourselves; surfaces we don't draw (Gemini's native spinner) are reported separately as estimated. We never blend the two.

Countable wait-time is capped at 8 hours per day per install, session and click velocity are monitored for bot signatures, and every payout is human-reviewed before money moves. Founding slots are flat-rate, so inflated numbers wouldn't earn us a cent — and forfeited fraudulent balances return to the community revenue pool, not to us. You get a monthly report per creative: impressions, clicks, CTR, and country split.
