Install it, let it run, get paid
A small glass bar sits at the edge of your screen: at the top on a Mac, just above the taskbar on Windows. Each spot stays up for 60 seconds and is credited only once it has been on screen that whole time, and once your balance reaches 10.00 USD it goes to your bank account.
What you earn depends on how much advertisers book, shared across everyone running the app. While we are starting up, expect a few dollars a month, not a wage.

One bar, two edges
Free for Mac and Windows. It sits where your system already keeps its own bar, and is never taller than that bar.
Windows
Sits just above the taskbar and stays in view when you open Start or search. For Windows 10 and 11, with nothing else to install.

Pricing
Four numbers, and that is the whole model
The software reads them from the same place this page does, so what you see here is what it charges and what it pays.
- Your share
- 50 % of what the advertiser paid for the spot on your screen
- Per spot shown
- 0.0060 USD, counted after the full 60 seconds on screen
- Advertisers pay
- 12.00 per thousand spots shown
- Smallest booking
- 6.00 for 500 spots
It cannot profile you, because it never looks
The app reads no documents, no browsing history and no other applications. It asks the server for a spot, shows it, and reports how long it stood there. That is the entire conversation.
- tracking pixel
- third-party servers
- profile
- cookie banner
- IBAN encrypted at rest
For advertisers
Real attention on real Mac and Windows screens, without tracking: your spot stands for 60 seconds in the bar people work next to, and nobody is profiled for it.
A spot is six fields
Six fields, a card, and your spot is live. No agency, no contract, no minimum term, and you watch delivery count down on your own campaign page from the first minute. No image, no video, no sound, no tracking pixel: it has to work at a glance or not at all.
