How the money flows
Five steps, then it runs itself.

Install
One curl wires a status line into Claude Code. No other changes.

What leaves your machine
Almost nothing.
A random install id and coarse signals — language, framework — all opt-in. Never your prompts, your code, your file paths, or your keystrokes. The status line makes zero network calls to render.

- source code
- file paths
- hostname / git remote

Your status bar is idle real estate.
