Developer-native sponsorship

Turn status lines into sponsored inventory.

Statusline adds a privacy-forward sponsorship layer to terminal status lines, coding-agent spinners, and developer tool wait states.

The opportunity

The wait state is unused space.

Every agent narrates itself while it works. Developers read that line - today it earns nothing.

How it works

A quiet handshake.

01

Opt in

Per-developer, fully opt-in. Nothing else in your workflow changes.

02

One line appears

During a real wait, the status line names a sponsor - and never blocks the result.

03

It counts when viewable

After a five-second view, you earn a 50% share.

The format

One line. Native to the wait.

Always one line

Fits the status row, or it is not served. No wrapping, no media, no expansion.

Only during a real wait

Inventory exists while the agent works. The moment the result lands, the line is gone.

Relevant, not noise

Built for developer-tool sponsors, so the line reads more like a tip than an ad.

PR automation - review PRs faster
CI monitoring - auto-quarantine flaky tests
Preview environments - spin up envs per branch
Database branching - branchable Postgres
For developers

Get paid for waiting.

Opt in, keep coding, and earn from every viewable line.

For advertisers

Reach developers in flow.

A one-line sponsorship at a moment they are already waiting - measured only when viewable.

Developer-native

Inside the tools they trust - not a feed they ignore.

High-intent, calm

A focused audience, waiting on a result. No noise.

One tasteful line

A single sponsored line that names you. Nothing more.

Privacy posture

Measurement without surveillance.

We only need to know whether a line was viewable - never what you are building.

What it uses
  • Whether a line was viewable for five seconds
  • Aggregate, privacy-forward measurement
  • Your opt-in status
What it never touches
  • Source code, files, or repositories
  • Prompts, completions, or chat content
  • Anything in or out of the agent
