Idlen - Earn While You Code

Get paid for seeing relevant developer ads in your IDE. Non-intrusive, privacy-first.

Features

• 💰 Earn Money: Get paid for viewing developer-focused ads while you code
• 🎯 Relevant Ads: See ads based on your tech stack (detected from package.json, etc.)
• 🔒 Privacy First: No tracking of your code, just your dependencies
• ⚡ Non-Intrusive: Ads appear in a sidebar, never interrupting your workflow
• 🤖 AI-Aware: Smart triggers during AI interactions (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot)

How It Works

1. Install the extension
2. Sign in with your Idlen account

5. Cash out when you reach 25 €
