The world's biggest computeris already built.
It's in three billion pockets, and most of the night it does nothing at all. Idle puts that spare capacity to work running small AI models, and pays you for it instead of a data centre.
Network figures published by ZeroGPU, our infrastructure partner. Performance varies by workload, model and configuration.
They are pouring concrete to run work your phone could do while it charges.
The fight over data centres has stopped being abstract. It is showing up as electricity bills, as water draw, as a planning notice at the end of somebody's road.
And an enormous share of what those buildings are being built to do is not frontier AI. It is small, repetitive work: labelling a page, screening a comment, turning speech into text, scoring a piece of content. Millions of times a day. On models small enough to fit in your pocket.
That work does not need a new building. It needs a device that is already switched on.
Your phone is idle roughly 22 hours a day.
Plugged in, on wifi, screen off, doing nothing. It is a genuinely capable computer and it spends almost all of its life asleep.
- 80M–500Mparameters is all the models in this class need. They fit comfortably on a modern phone.
- 0 newbuildings, substations, cooling towers or water rights required. The hardware is already made and already powered.
- Youare the one who paid for it, so you are the one who should be paid for it.
Install it once. Then forget it exists.

Install and sign in
Two minutes. No hardware to buy, no rig to build, nothing to configure.

It works while you sleep
When you plug in at night, your phone joins the network and takes small jobs. It stops the instant you pick it up.

You get paid monthly
Every job your device completes is counted and paid. Cash out whenever you like.
Five rules we will not break.
A movement about not wrecking things has no business wrecking your phone. These are hard limits in the app, not preferences you have to find.
Only while charging
Never on battery. Not once, not briefly, not on a low setting.
Only on wifi
Your mobile data is yours. We never touch it.
Only when cool
A hard thermal ceiling. The moment it is approached, work stops.
Stops when you touch it
Pick up your phone and the job pauses. You will never feel it running.
Nothing of yours leaves
Jobs arrive, run in a sandbox and the result goes back. Your photos, messages and files are never read, sent or touched.
This is a rebate, not a salary.
One phone running overnight is worth a few dollars a month. We are not going to pretend otherwise, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does.
Earnings depend on your device, how long it is plugged in and how much work the network has. Some months will be close to nothing. Idle is not an income and should never be treated as one.
Compute by the many, not the few.
- The capacity already exists. Before another acre is cleared, use the several billion computers that are already built, already powered and already sitting still.
- Small work belongs on small machines. Classifying, moderating, transcribing and scoring do not need a campus and a substation. They need a phone on a nightstand.
- The people who own the hardware should own the upside. Right now that value accrues to whoever owns the building. It should accrue to whoever owns the device.
- Nothing is taken without consent. Not your data, not your battery, not your bandwidth. You can leave in one tap and we keep nothing.
- We will not overstate this. Idle will not replace frontier training and we will never claim it does. It replaces a specific, enormous slice of repetitive inference, and that slice is worth fighting for.
Put your phone to work tonight.
It is already charging. It is already on wifi. It is already doing nothing.
