Every time Claude Code (and other AI coding tools) shows a thinking spinner or a status line, that's dead time you already pay attention to. Platfory turns it into one tasteful sponsored line - and pays you 70% of the ad revenue. Install once, earn while you code.
How it works
- Install this extension and run Platfory: Sign in (GitHub or Google).
- A one-time consent screen shows exactly what changes, per tool. Nothing is applied until you accept.
- While your AI thinks, a sponsored line appears in the status line and/or spinner tip. Every viewable impression and click credits your balance, validated server-side.
- Cash out in USDC to your crypto wallet once you pass $5 (bank transfer via Stripe coming).
Track your balance any time on your dashboard.
The opposite of adware
Platfory is built to be the honest version of this idea:
- Consent-first - you see what changes and how updates ship before anything happens.
- Official hooks, no patching - it integrates through your tool's documented extension points (
statusLine,spinnerTipsOverride), never by modifying program files. - Fully reversible - run Platfory: Restore (or uninstall) and every change reverts, byte for byte.
- Blind to your work - it collects impression and click events only. Never your code, prompts, keystrokes, or files.
Commands
- Platfory: Sign in / Sign out
- Platfory: Pause ads / Resume ads
- Platfory: Restore (revert all changes)
- Platfory: Show status
Supported editors
VS Code, Cursor, VSCodium, and Windsurf. The sponsored line integrates with Claude Code via its official status-line and spinner-tip hooks; more tools are added only after a terms-of-service check.
