What is Bacon?

Bacon is an ad network plugin for Claude that pays developers to code. Install it once, and occasional labeled ads appear next to AI replies while you work - you earn 50% of each ad's base rate. Your prompts stay private on your machine; only a coarse intent signal (like "auth" or "database") is sent to advertisers. Control ad frequency anytime, from minimal to every prompt, and cash out weekly via Stripe.
