Opt-in ads you add to your own copy of the Claude Code & Codex extensions in VS Code. Also runs in the terminal CLI, with more limited functionality.
How it works. The counter above is a live estimate of the ads Kickbacks has served, climbing toward 100,000,000. When the 100,000,000th ad is recorded in our ledger, we pay $1,000 to the developer whose editor displayed it and $1,000 to the advertiser who bought that exact ad. One impression tips the counter, and two people get paid.
Each block buys 1,000 five-second impressions in the Claude Code spinner. Clicks are billed at 50× the impression rate. Highest bid serves first; bid any amount from $1 — outbid the top to take #1, or queue up behind it. 50% of every dollar settles to the developer whose machine showed the ad.
