Gravy: Get paid for your Claude's idle time

Gravy launched a CLI-based ad marketplace for Claude Code that pays developers 70% of revenue for displaying sponsored lines in their terminal status bar. The platform operates entirely through the command line, with payments currently in Stripe test mode using simulated earnings. Developers can install the tool via npm or apt to monetize idle terminal time, while advertisers can run bid-priced campaigns to reach developers directly in their shell environment.
