aicash adds one unobtrusive line to your AI CLI's status bar while the AI is working — and pays you a revenue share for it. No API key, no .env, no config to maintain.

Install

npm i -g aicash      # install the CLI globally
aicash install       # add the ad status line to Claude Code
aicash login         # optional — link this machine to earn a revenue share

Open a new Claude Code session and the ad line appears in the status bar. The client talks to the hosted aicash network by default — there is nothing else to configure.

How it works

On each status refresh, aicash reads recent conversation context from the transcript, requests one contextual ad, caches it per session, and prints a single clickable line.

It is built to never crash and never lag your AI: network calls time out fast, impressions are fire-and-forget, and on any error it prints nothing so your status bar is unaffected.

Earning

aicash install alone already serves ads anonymously. Run aicash login once to bind this machine to your account — after that every impression accrues to you.

Payouts come from the real USD an advertiser paid, split proportionally by your valid events. You keep 50% of every impression. Track earnings and set your payout wallet in the dashboard.

Cash out in USDC, Stripe, or PayPal.
Test mode is on by default — no billing until you flip it.

Supported CLIs

aicash is live on Claude Code today. Support for the others is on the way.

Uninstall

aicash uninstall     # removes only aicash's statusLine; leaves the rest of settings.json intact

aicash install backs up your existing ~/.claude/settings.json to ~/.claude/settings.json.aicash-bak before changing it.
