One command. One Dwell account.
Dwell adds one sponsored line to your AI coding tool, but it does not earn anonymously. The installer opens a browser sign-in first, then links this machine to your Dwell account. That account is separate from Claude Code, VS Code, Cursor, or your AI-provider login.
Pick your tool, install in one command
Choose Claude Code or VS Code / Cursor, then run the one command for it. It downloads Dwell, opens your browser to sign into Dwell, and connects the selected tool. No sudo, nothing on your system PATH, and nothing is auto-picked for you.
The command downloads Dwell, opens your browser to sign into your Dwell account, then connects this machine to Claude Code.
Sign in once, in your browser
The install opens your browser and signs you into Dwell with Google or email. You'll see a short code in your terminal, confirm it matches, click approve, and you're connected. No keys to copy. Your hidden connection is saved to ~/.dwell/config.json (or your editor's secure storage) and nowhere else.
This is not your Claude, VS Code, Cursor, or AI-provider login. Connect as many machines and tools as you like, run dwell login again on any machine to sign in or switch accounts. Everything earns into the same balance.
Open your tool, you're earning
That's it. The sponsored line is now in your status bar. In Claude Code it sits next to your branch, model, and context. In VS Code or Cursor it sits in the bottom editor status bar. A view counts after a few seconds on screen while you're actively coding, and the line keeps rotating on its own schedule, about every 60 seconds.
Want it gone? dwell uninstall removes the line, and because showing and earning are the same mechanism, the earning stops in the same instant. There's no way to keep one without the other.
Track earnings + clear payouts
Your dashboard shows your verified views, your balance, and when a payout is ready to clear. You keep 50% of the ad revenue your attention generates.
dwell earningsA view verifies when your session shows real token activity within a rolling 10-minute window (Claude Code), or when the editor window is focused and you're actively working in it (VS Code / Cursor), so reading output or thinking through a prompt never costs you a view. Every connected tool earns into the same balance.
