Pay attention.
Not $20 a month.

Nectar is an AI coding agent that lives in your terminal. Watch a short ad, finish a four-question survey — collect credits, then burn them on edits, generations and full agent runs. No card. No seat. No tier you have to outgrow.

//the loop

Attention in. Working code out.

01nectar earn

Spend attention

A 30-second spot or a four-tap survey, rendered right in the terminal pane. No tracking pixels, no account linking, no dark patterns.

02credits += n

Collect credits

Credits settle instantly to a local balance you can audit line by line. They never expire and never silently reset at the start of a month.

03nectar agent

Ship code

Edits, generations, multi-step agent runs across your repo. Every action quotes its cost before it runs, and refunds itself if it fails.

//the ledger

Every credit,
accounted for.

No usage dashboards buried three menus deep. Nectar keeps a plain-text ledger in your project root. Grep it, diff it, commit it if you want.

//the argument

A subscription is a bet that you'll code every day. Most weeks, you won't.

$20/month before you write a line

nectar

0 upfront. Credits land before your first prompt.

Seat billing you forget to cancel

nectar

No card on file. Nothing to cancel.

Opaque 'fair use' throttles

A visible ledger. Every credit in, every credit out.

Your code trains their next model

nectar

Repo context stays local. Ads never see your source.

Compute has a price. Your attention has a price. Nectar just puts the two in the same sentence.

The hive is still small.

Alpha invites go out in batches, earliest addresses first. Leave your email — you'll get one message, and it'll contain an install command.

//faq

Reasonable suspicions,
answered.

What actually funds this?
Advertisers pay for attention. You supply it deliberately, in 30-second blocks, instead of paying a subscription you half-use. We take a cut of the ad spend and pass the rest through as inference credits.
Do the ads touch my codebase?
No. The ad surface is a sandboxed pane with no filesystem, network or repo access. Targeting uses nothing but coarse locale — never your files, prompts or diffs.
Can I just buy credits?
Yes, eventually. Top-ups will exist for people whose time costs more than their attention. Earning will always remain the default path, and the free path.
Which models run behind it?
Frontier-class models, routed per task — cheap ones for edits, heavy ones for agent runs. Credit costs are published per model, not hidden behind a tier name.
