Frequently asked questions

No, and you do not have to believe us. The client is open source, every request it can make is published in a manifest, and a test in CI fails the build if it ever contacts a host we have not declared. All three are linked above. What actually leaves your machine is a device token, the fact that an agent is thinking, how long the line was visible, and which surface showed it.

It never modifies your editor unless you turn on a surface that says it will, and when it does it backs up the original bytes, writes atomically, verifies the result, and falls back to a plain status-bar line if anything at all looks wrong. A failed patch degrades quietly. It does not break your editor.

That depends on how much your agents think and what advertisers are bidding, so any specific number we printed here would be a guess dressed up as a promise. What we can tell you exactly is the split: you keep 70% of whatever the advertiser paid, and you can watch it accrue per impression in your dashboard.

A line only bills when it was visible for the threshold time, while the agent was genuinely thinking, in a window that was genuinely on screen. An ad shown to a minimized window is not an impression, and a developer is never paid for one. Both sides are measured by the same rule.

Instantly, and from either end. Disable the extension, or revoke that machine from your dashboard and it stops earning immediately. Earnings you have already made stay yours.

Every campaign is reviewed before it can serve. One line, one link, no images, no scripts, and nothing is loaded from a third party into your editor.

It earns while Claude Code thinks, in VS Code, Cursor, Devin, VSCodium, and VS Code Insiders. Support for more agents is on the way, and the honest per-platform status lives on the landing page's platform table. Installation is one command either way - see Install in one command.

Yes. Each machine links to your account separately and shows up as its own device in the dashboard, revocable one by one - see Sign in and link your editor.

Most often it was a house line - the platform's own message in a quiet market, which pays nothing and says so. The complete list of reasons, in checking order, is in Shown but not credited.

Earnings clear after a holdback period and become withdrawable above the minimum shown in your dashboard, with United States bank accounts supported first. The exact rules are in Payouts and your balance.

You pay only for impressions verified on a real, focused editor while an agent genuinely worked, with per-device caps against implausible machines - see Advertise on Awaitful.

Every docs page has a feedback control at the bottom - mark it out of date, say what is wrong, and it lands directly in front of the maintainers. The updated date at the top of each page tells you when its substance last changed.
