Everything you already do — now it pays

Kiwi is built for developers who live in their agent. More tokens, longer sessions, and the dead-time you already have, working for you.

Earn while you code

Your agent runs, you stay productive. Read article summaries, watch a video, do a quick survey, or play a puzzle — and earn credits that pay down your plan.

More from every session

Smart model routing, prompt caching and context pruning stretch your usage — so each session goes further before you hit a limit.

Longer sessions

Stay in flow. Bigger budgets and graceful step-downs mean you keep building instead of slamming into a hard wall mid-task.

Your subscription, paid for

Earn enough and your plan covers itself. Plenty of devs end up coding on Kiwi for free — a real path, not a guarantee.

A clean project dashboard

Every project, tracked. Switch context, see status at a glance, and manage fine-grained permissions — all in one calm dashboard.

Curated to your interests

Tech news and YouTube picked for what you actually care about — stay engaged between agent runs without falling into a doom-scroll.

Earn while you code

You code for hours. Your agent ticks away.

That’s a lot of unused screen time. Kiwi fills the wait — on your terms. Stay engaged, knock out something on the side, and earn credits that pay down your subscription while your agent works.

Good questions

How do I actually earn while I code?+

While your agent works, Kiwi surfaces optional things to do — article summaries, a short video, a quick survey, a puzzle, or an opt-in ad — and credits your balance. It's always optional and never interrupts or gates your work.

How does Kiwi get more out of a session?+

Smart model routing, prompt caching and context pruning cut wasted tokens, so your usage stretches further and sessions run longer before you hit a limit. More build per dollar, less time blocked.

Can my subscription really pay for itself?+

It can. Earn enough through the dead-time activities and your balance covers your plan — plenty of devs end up coding for free. It's a real path, not a guaranteed income.

Is the earning stuff distracting?+

Only if you want it. Everything is opt-in and skippable, surfaced during real agent dead-time — not while you're in flow. Turn it off entirely and Kiwi is just a great, generous IDE.

Is my code mine and private?+

Yes. Real files, full export, your code stays yours. Kiwi gives you a clean dashboard to manage projects and fine-grained permissions.
