Idle bandwidth is income.
One lightweight agent serves the connection you're not using. Metered per GB, paid out monthly. You set the cap and the block-list.
No tinkering · Never saturates your line · Cash out monthly
Start earning
Create your peer account. It only takes a minute.
A continuous demonstration of a peer serving proxy bandwidth and browser compute, each event metered and credited, while block-listed domains are refused.
One command. Any spare device.
macOS, Android, and Android-based TVs today; Windows, Linux, and iOS rolling out. The agent runs in the background and only uses bandwidth you aren't.
Your cap. Your block-list.
It never saturates your line, and it refuses any domain you name. Your bank, email, and socials are fenced off automatically. That list syncs from your browser and never leaves your device.
Metered, credited, paid monthly.
Two meters run server-side: every GB you serve, and every hour your machine is lent out for a browser render. Bandwidth carries the higher rate because it is the expensive resource; compute is paid at a fraction of it. Connect a bank account once; payouts land every month.
What you could earn
The connection you already pay for, paying you back.
Two meters run server side and both are paid in cash monthly. Bandwidth is metered per GB at 10¢ and up. It is the resource we would otherwise have to buy, so it carries the higher rate. Compute is metered per hour your machine is lent out for a browser render, at 3¢ and up. Compute is deliberately a fraction of bandwidth: it stands in for a cheap server hour, not for a gigabyte. Clean, fast, always-on connections earn the top of both rates.
Laptop, a few hours a day
~150 GB / month · 10–20¢ per GB
compute off
$180–$360 / yr
Home connection, always on
~700 GB / month · 10–20¢ per GB
~120 compute hours · 3–6¢ per hour
$900–$1,740 / yr
Fiber, multiple devices
~2–3 TB / month · 10–20¢ per GB
compute on most of the day · 3–6¢ per hour
$2,500–$7,500 / yr
The top of that table is a bandwidth number, and it is worth being blunt about the arithmetic: $1,500 a month means serving roughly 7.5 TB at the top 20¢ rate, across several devices on a fast line. Bandwidth is the lane that gets you there; compute is a steady top-up on the machines you leave running anyway, not a route to a number like that.
Estimates, not a guarantee. Both meters run server side, are credited to your account, and are paid out in cash every month: bandwidth per GB served, compute per hour your machine is lent out. Compute is metered as machine-active time, so overlapping browser sessions count once. Your per-GB rate is agreed per peer and your compute rate follows it as a fixed fraction.
The desktop app
Runs quietly. Earns continuously.
One window shows what you share, what you've served, and that you're connected. Toggle bandwidth and compute on or off any time.
What you share
Earning while idleServe web requests through your connection.
Paid per GB served · the higher rate
Run real browser sessions for crawls that need rendering. Overlapping sessions count once.
Paid per hour shared · a fraction of the GB rate
Your privacy, safeguarded
Your private sites never touch the pool.
On setup, the agent reads your browser history on your device only to find the sites you use most, like your bank, email, and socials, and automatically adds them to your firewall so your bandwidth is never used to reach them.
- Read locally, never uploaded. Your history never leaves your machine. We read a read-only copy and keep only the domains.
- You stay in control. Every site has a toggle, so you can allow any you’re comfortable serving, and your choice sticks.
- Stays current. It re-syncs daily, so newly busy sites are protected automatically.
Install
Run a peer on any device.
macOS, Windows, Linux (x86-64 & ARM64), Android, and Android-based TVs (Android TV / Fire TV) today. iOS and a browser extension are rolling out. Set up a TV.
$ curl -fsSL https://spider.cloud/peer.sh | shmacOS is a universal build (Intel & Apple Silicon); Linux ships x86-64 and ARM64.
After you install
01 · Open it once
The app runs in the background from then on. No setup wizard, no tuning.
02 · It shares on its own
Sharing starts automatically, inside the cap and block-list you set.
03 · Link it to get paid
The app shows a pairing code. Enter it at peers.spider.cloud/link. An unlinked device earns nothing. Track it on your dashboard.
