deadtime

Get paid while your AI coding agent thinks.

One line in your Claude Code status bar. Mostly useful tips. Sometimes a disclosed, relevant sponsor line. You get half of every sponsored line shown — tracked honestly, server-side, only after it's been continuously on screen for 10 seconds (not per script call).

Built on Claude Code's official statusLine setting — nothing is patched.

Install

npx trymeanwhile

Or, without Node:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/heenatrivedi321-max/deadtime/main/install.sh | bash

Restart Claude Code afterward to see it live. Live site: https://deadtime-server.bean-picker.workers.dev

How it works

• statusline.py -- the client. Generates a random anonymous install ID, asks the server for a line, prints it. Never sees or sends your prompts, code, or conversation content.
• worker/ -- the Cloudflare Worker. Serves the API (picks tip vs. sponsor per install, enforces the 2-in-5 sponsor ceiling, only bills an impression once a line has been continuously shown for 10 seconds) and the public site, from public/, as static assets.
• public/ -- the two public pages: install.html (for developers) and advertiser.html (for sponsors). Deployed as-is, no build step.

For sponsors

Visit the advertiser page -- reserve a spot, no payment required yet, real numbers before any charge.

Privacy

The server only ever receives: a random install ID, and which line was shown. No prompts, no code, no conversation content, ever.
