Monetize your development workflow with contextual, non-intrusive ads from Indian tech companies. Earn 75% revenue share.

Features

  • Status bar ads -- subtle sponsored text in the VS Code status bar, refreshed every 30 seconds
  • Sidebar panel -- a dedicated webview panel in the activity bar showing rich ad cards
  • Inline hints -- lightweight code-lens-style decorations at the top and bottom of supported files
  • Terminal banners -- full-screen sponsored banners in VS Code's integrated terminal

All surfaces are independently toggleable in settings. Ads are rate-limited and fail silently.
