FOR ADVERTISERSOne line, human-reviewed, auditable

Reach developers at the one moment they are staring at the screen.

One sponsor line, shown only while a developer's AI coding agent is working. You pay for verified impressions and deduped human clicks, and the counter is open source, so you can audit every number transparently.

  • Open-source counteraudit every number
  • Human reviewbefore anything serves

Counting you can audit

Verified impressions, verified clicks

An impression bills only after five seconds on screen during a real, hook-confirmed agent session, counted server-side. Clicks are deduped, human, and gated the same way.

Second-price auction

Pricing clears on a second-price (Vickrey) auction, which removes any shill-bid suspicion. There is a published reserve floor and clicks bill at a transparent multiplier.

A published ledger

Developer payouts are posted in a public ledger.

Boost

Tip the developers who genuinely want what you sell.

Add 20% to your click price and 100% of it goes to the developer. We take no cut of tips. Developers can't see which campaigns are boosted, so you are never buying reward-chasers: every boosted click was made for the same reason a standard click was: interest. Boost doesn't buy placement or ranking.

When your campaign ends, your name appears next to the tip in each developer's earnings (“tipped you $1.40”), with an optional thank-you you choose. You are buying opted-in developers.

Who can advertise

Trust here is earned, and it stays revocable.

NOW

Every sponsor curated

Today, every advertiser is a reputable developer-tool company reviewed personally. Self-serve setup, human approval: nothing serves without a person signing off.

NEXT

KYC-lite self-serve

As we open self-serve, new advertisers are admitted through lightweight verification: a real business identity or an established domain, plus a verified payment method. New accounts start with lower spend caps and tighter review.

ALWAYS

Human creative review

Every creative and every landing page is reviewed by a person before it can serve, at every tier, forever. Automated scanning is a floor, not a substitute.

Creative standards

Clearly labeled

Every ad is marked Sponsored, on every impression. Non-negotiable.

No animation abuse

No flashing, blinking, or rapid motion. One tasteful line, matching the app's restraint.

The page matches the ad

What the ad promises is what the page delivers. No bait-and-switch, no cloaking.

One format

The labeled sponsor line. No expanding units, no interstitials, no takeovers.

What we will never run

These categories are banned outright. No spend level, no track record, and no exception unlocks them.

  • Malware, spyware, or potentially-unwanted programs
  • Phishing or credential harvesting
  • Adult content
  • Gambling and real-money betting
  • Crypto get-rich schemes and token pumps
  • Deceptive fake system alert creatives
  • Anything that breaks the agent vendors' own advertising rules

Every link is scanned before it can serve by an open-source safety scanner, then re-scanned continuously. Swapping a reviewed creative or landing page after approval is the one unforgivable move, and it ends the account.
