One slot, undivided attention
No feed and no carousel. One ad holds the only spot in the menu bar, where people look dozens of times a day.
King of the hillOne ad slot.
One ad slot.
The whole menu bar.
Get paid to run one small ad in your Mac menu bar. You earn just for keeping it there, no clicking needed. Advertisers bid for the single slot and hold it as long as they outbid the field.
Why advertise01 02 03
The slot every other channel keeps splitting, kept whole.
Pay only to stay on top
The auction prices the slot in real time. Bid what the spot is worth to you, and hold it for as long as you outrank the field.
Reach people who live in the menu bar
AdMogged runs on Macs owned by developers and power users, the people who keep a dozen tools in their menu bar. Your ad sits where they already look.
How it works
Three steps to the top slot.
Create an advertiser account
Sign up as an advertiser in a minute. No card to win the slot, no sales call between you and the auction.
Place your bid
Set what the top slot is worth to you. AdMogged ranks every live bid and seats the highest as king of the hill.
Hold the throne
Your ad shows in the menu bar for as long as you outrank the field. Lose the top spot and you can win it back; the auction never closes.
For Mac users
One ad in your menu bar. Nothing else.
AdMogged for Mac is a free, open-source app that sits in your menu bar and shows whichever ad currently holds the slot. That is the whole app.
Download for Mac- Lives in your menu bar
A small macOS app that sits where you already look. It adds one icon to your menu bar and installs nothing else.
- Shows one ad, never a feed
You see whichever advertiser holds the slot right now, and nothing after that. No feed to scroll, no tracker following you around.
- Talks only to AdMogged
The app fetches the current ad from our servers and goes nowhere else. It collects nothing about you and builds no profile.
- Open source and free
The whole app is open source, so anyone can read exactly what it does. The auction pays for it, so you never do.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I get paid just for having it?
Yes. You earn for keeping the ad in your menu bar, whether you click it or not. Clicking is always up to you, and it is never required to get paid.
How do payouts work?
You can cash out once you have earned $50. At that point payouts run through Stripe, and US rules require Stripe to confirm who you are first. That identity check is called KYC, Stripe handles all of it, and you only do it once. Below $50, your earnings just keep adding up.
Will I get a tax form?
Only if your earnings pass the US reporting threshold for the year, which is around $600. If they do, Stripe creates the 1099 from your payout history, files it with the IRS, and sends you a copy. Most small earners stay under that and never get one. We are not tax advisors, so check with one about your own taxes.
What does the app collect about me?
Close to nothing. It fetches the current ad from our servers and goes nowhere else. It does not read your screen, your files, or your browsing, and it builds no profile on you. The whole app is open source, so you can read exactly what it does.
Can I delete my account and data?
Yes, any time. Ask us to close your account and we remove your data. The one exception is the payout records Stripe has to keep for tax and anti-fraud rules, which stay with Stripe rather than us.
Will it slow down or clutter my Mac?
No. It is one small icon in your menu bar and nothing else. No dock icon, no feed, no second app to babysit. Quit it any time and the ad goes with it.
Is it really free?
Yes. The app is free and open source. The auction pays for it, so you never do. You only get paid.
Which Macs are supported?
macOS only for now. It is a native menu bar app, not a browser extension.
