The ad replaces one of Claude Code's own spinner words (settings.json → spinnerVerbs) — no extra UI, no popup.
Three steps. Then you forget it exists.
No dashboards to babysit, no tasks to complete. Set it once and let the terminal you already stare at all day do the work.

Common questions
Does patito slow down my workflow?
No. Ads only appear in the idle status bar while the AI model is processing a request. They never interrupt a prompt, response, file read, or any active command.
What AI tools are supported?
Claude Code, OpenCode, and agy. More integrations are actively planned. If you use a tool that isn't listed, contact us — we prioritize by demand.
How much can I earn?
It depends on how heavily you use your AI tools. Developers who run long coding sessions can expect to offset a meaningful portion of their monthly AI subscription costs.
Is my usage data shared with advertisers?
No identifiable data is ever shared. Advertisers see aggregate impression counts only. We never expose device details, usage patterns, or your identity to ad buyers.
