01⏳
AI waits
Your AI CLI or editor hits a wait state: thinking, generating, analyzing. Dead time, every session.
02✦
Discovery shows
A relevant, structured discovery card appears in the gap. No clicks required, no interruption to the flow.
03◉
Attention verified
We confirm a real human was focused and active, gating on a human-score before anything is paid out.
04↗
Revenue shared
Quality-adjusted attention earns rewards, and the split between network and builder is transparent.
Open attention exchange
The attention market is already moving.
Advertisers do not buy blind clicks. They buy verified attention share across AI wait states, weighted by TrustRank, relevance, and fairness caps.
Powerful AI attention features for open exchange growth
Everything BackSpin needs to turn AI wait states into verified human attention, transparent market allocation, and useful product discovery across IDEs, CLIs, coding agents, and MCP workflows.

Post-impression recall
When AI tools cannot be clicked during generation, BackSpin measures later saves, visits, searches, and brand recall instead of pretending CTR is enough.

Earn from the time you already wait.
Your AI sessions are full of dead time. Wrap your CLI once and turn those wait states into discovery and shared revenue, with a transparent split and no change to your workflow.
Install the CLIOpen by default
An exchange you can audit, not a black box.
The anti-fraud principles, the scoring methodology, and aggregate audit reports are open. You can verify how attention is measured and how revenue is split. The raw fraud signatures stay closed so they cannot be gamed, but the system that earns your trust stays in the open.
Open scoring
How attention is weighted and quality-adjusted is documented and inspectable in the public repo.
Transparent splits
The revenue share between network and builder is published in code, not buried.
Public audits
Aggregate audit reports show the network is measuring what it claims.
Questions
BackSpin, answered plainly
What is BackSpin?
BackSpin (usebackspin.com) is an open attention exchange for AI-native workflows. While AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and OpenCode are working, BackSpin shows one useful discovery card, checks that a real person was there, and shares the revenue with the developer.
Advertisers buy that verified attention in an open bid market. The unit is quality-adjusted attention seconds, not impressions or clicks.
About BackSpinIs BackSpin related to Backspin Games or backspin.de?
No. BackSpin at usebackspin.com is a developer tool. It is not affiliated with Backspin Games (backspingames.com), the mobile skill-gaming app, or with backspin.de. Questions about a Backspin Games account, deposit or withdrawal need to go to that company directly.
How do developers earn with BackSpin?
Install BackSpin once with the one-line installer or the editor extension. It connects to each AI tool through that tool's own config hook, plugin or MCP server, and the backspin restore command undoes every change.
Earnings are credited per verified attention window, scored after each AI wait ends. By default developers receive 50% of the value their verified attention generates.
How the scoring and split workDoes BackSpin pay out, and how do withdrawals work?
Yes. Developers withdraw earned reward credits from the Withdraw page at the published rate of 1,000 credits = $5.00. Crypto payouts in USDT, Litecoin and Bitcoin are available now, and PayPal is listed as coming soon.
Every withdrawal is reviewed and approved by an admin before funds are sent. The minimum amount and any fee are shown before you confirm, and a rejected request returns the credits to your balance.
Payments and payouts FAQHow do advertisers buy attention on BackSpin?
Advertisers bid a CPAS price (cost per 1,000 quality attention seconds) and fund a budget that is billed down only as verified attention is delivered. Share of voice depends on bid, reputation and attention quality, so the highest bid does not automatically win.
A quick bid on the open market needs only an email address.
Open the bid marketWhich AI tools does BackSpin work with?
VS Code and its forks (Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, Devin Desktop), the Claude Code, Codex, Cline, OpenCode and Kilo Code CLIs, MCP hosts such as Claude Desktop, and AI sites in the browser including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity.
