Waitstate by Ownesis
Turn developer wait time into privacy-first, developer-controlled sponsorship.
Opt-in status messages for long-running terminal work. No code, prompts, paths, repo names, branches, cwd, or terminal output.

No silent sharing

A small sponsorship surface developers can inspect and turn off.
Campaigns are served from public JSON. No account system, bidding, targeting backend, or advertiser portal in v0.
The local privacy log records message and click events without project metadata.
