About IdleDev

IdleDev is a unique monetization tool designed for developers who use AI agents like Claude.

The setup is quick, taking just 30 seconds, and the platform emphasizes user privacy by not reading code, files, or prompts. This makes it ideal for developers who want to monetize their coding environment without interruptions or privacy concerns. The revenue split favors the developer with 65% of earnings going directly to them, paid via UPI. IdleDev caters to a niche of AI-powered developers seeking a way to monetize their coding time effortlessly, blending simple integration with transparent monetization.
