README

kickbacks-kit — ad archive and live dashboard for kickbacks.ai

**A read-only companion for the [kickbacks.ai](https://kickbacks.ai) extension.** Archive every ad you are shown, track the kickbacks.ai status, and watch it all in a terminal dashboard.

kickbacks-kit records the sponsored ads kickbacks.ai shows in your Claude Code and Codex spinner into a local SQLite archive, and renders them in a Rust TUI: ad sightings, advertisers, 24 hour activity, plus a live status feed for the kickbacks.ai service bulletin and the upstream project's GitHub activity.

The kickbacks.ai extension shows sponsored messages in the Claude Code and Codex spinners and splits the revenue with you. It keeps almost no history: the current ad lives in one file, and earnings sit in memory until the next API poll.

`kickbacks-kit` keeps the history the extension discards. It watches the local files the extension already writes, records every ad into a small SQLite archive, and renders the whole picture in a terminal UI. Your archive stays on your machine and is never uploaded. The one piece that uses the network is an optional status feed, which makes read-only requests to public endpoints (the GitHub API and the public kickbacks.ai status bulletin) and can be turned off. See [The status feed](#the-status-feed).
