To get started
How it works

Three lines of setup.
Then it just runs.

aicash is a thin client per harness. Install once and it earns quietly in the background.

01

Install once

Run aicash install. It patches your status-line config and saves a backup. No code in your project, nothing to maintain.

$ npm i -g aicash
02

Your AI works

On each status refresh, aicash reads the recent context, asks the Gravity network for one relevant ad, caches it per session, and prints a single clean line.

03

You get paid

Real attribution and anti-fraud back a 70/30 revenue split — 70% goes to you. Cash out in USDC, Stripe, or PayPal.

Why it's fine

Ads, without the part
everyone hates.

One line. Relevant. Async. It earns for you without ever getting in your way.

Contextual, never spammy

Exactly one ad, matched to what you're actually doing — pulled from your recent conversation, not a random banner.

Zero slowdown

Cached per session, fetched async, floored timeouts. On any hiccup it's a graceful no-op — your AI never waits on us.

Privacy by design

IPs are hashed with a rotating salt. The API key lives only on the proxy — never in a client. Your prompts stay yours.

Fraud-proof economics

Single-use nonces and HMAC-signed pixels stop replay and forgery. The pool is fixed real revenue, so cheating can't print money.

Real revenue, not assumed CPM

Money truth,
built into the schema.

Payouts come from the real USD an advertiser paid — split proportionally by your valid events. Fraud never mints money; it just gets filtered out before earnings are computed.

FAQs

Questions,
answered straight.

What is aicash?

+
aicash is a free npm CLI that shows one contextual text ad in your AI coding tool's status line while the AI is working, and pays you 70% of the ad revenue. It works with Claude Code, opencode, VS Code, Kiro IDE, AntiGravity IDE, and the chat agents Hermes and OpenClaw — one account covers every tool on the machine.

How much can I earn with aicash?

+
Roughly $0.0014 per impression at the network's $2 CPM with your 70% share, capped at 60 impressions per hour per machine. Real payouts are prorated from the actual USD advertisers paid in a revenue period — never from an assumed CPM — so results scale with real ad demand and how much you code.

How do I install aicash?

+
Run npm i -g aicash && aicash install — it auto-detects every supported AI tool on the machine and adds the ad line. Then run aicash login (email code) so impressions are credited to your account; without signing in, ads still show but are not paid.

Does aicash slow down Claude Code or my terminal?

+
No. The ad is fetched asynchronously with fast timeouts and cached per session; on any error aicash prints nothing at all. Your AI never waits on the ad network.

Is aicash safe and private?

+
Context is read locally on your machine and only a compact derived signal is sent to request one matching ad — never your prompts, files, or transcript. IP addresses are hashed with a rotating salt, and the ad-network API key lives only on the hosted proxy, never in the client.

Which AI tools does aicash support?

+
Live today: Claude Code, opencode, VS Code, Kiro IDE, AntiGravity IDE, plus the multi-channel chat agents Hermes and OpenClaw (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord). Codex support is next — each new AI CLI is one adapter away.

How and when do I get paid?

+
Each revenue period pools the real USD advertisers paid, splits it proportionally by valid impressions, and credits your 70% share. Track earnings and cash out in USDC, Stripe, or PayPal from the dashboard at app.aicash.fun.

Is aicash free? Do I need an API key?

+
Yes — the CLI is free and MIT-licensed, with no API key, no .env, and no config to maintain: it talks to the hosted aicash network by default. Remove it any time with aicash uninstall, which restores your previous status-line settings.

Your terminal is already
working overtime.

Let it pay you back. Install aicash and start earning on the next thing you build.
