Set it up once.
Then ignore it forever.

You install WaitWage once with a single command. It detects the AI coding agents you already run — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor — and links to them in place. No new app to open, no account to babysit.

From then on it runs locally on your machine. It watches only one thing: the status line your agent renders while it’s thinking. It never touches anything else.

While your agent is processing, it shows throwaway status text next to a spinner — “Analyzing repository…”, “Reading 248 files…”, “Generating response…”. WaitWage replaces that single line with one sponsored message, in the exact same slot.

You were going to stare at the spinner regardless. Nothing else on screen moves.

One tasteful line, always labelled Sponsored. It never pops up, never covers your work, never demands a click. It sits where the status text used to sit and disappears the moment your agent is done.

SnappyLabs — engineering at the speed of thought

A sponsor pays for each attributed impression — a real moment a real developer spent waiting. You keep 70% of that revenue.

Every impression and dollar is visible in an open ledger you can audit any time. We hold your balance safely and release it in $10 blocks — to your bank or PayPal, in any country — each one cleared only after a spam-and-fraud check.

The message only ever lives in the idle waiting slot during processing. It does not block your input, change the agent’s output, or alter how the agent behaves in any way.

It’s 100% opt-in and local-first. Pause it whenever you like — the moment you do, your status line goes back to normal.

Developers are high-intent, high-value, and famously hard to reach — ad-blocked, skeptical, and rarely in a buying mindset on social feeds. WaitWage reaches them at the exact moment they’re building.

The placement is native and non-intrusive, the reach is real and attributed, and there are no bots inflating the numbers. That’s what they’re paying for.
