Every day, developers spend countless hours waiting on their AI. That time is usually just… lost. We think it can be one of the quietest forces for good on the internet.
Not everyone has spare time to volunteer or spare money to donate. A lot of us carry a quiet feeling that we should be doing more for others — and never quite get to it. Idlewell makes doing good automatic. You give simply by building, and it never costs you a single penny of your own.
You don't change a thing about how you work. While your AI thinks, a sponsored line earns money — and 20% of every penny goes to charity, automatically. No sign-up forms for a cause, no monthly guilt, no cost to you. Just good, happening in the background.
Feeling generous? Turn on Pay It Forward and donate your entire share. You give real money to real causes without spending your own — and your name goes on our public Heroes wall for the world to see.
One developer's wait-time is pennies. But every developer, every day, all giving at once? That adds up to a serious force for good — funded by work that was happening anyway.

Causes are chosen by community vote, disbursed through a vetted giving partner, with every donation public. We don't decide who deserves it — you do.
That's the whole idea. Honest pay for you, real money for good causes, and a way for every developer to do their bit — without it costing them anything.
