Earn Mode

Earn Mode is a set of rules you choose. When every rule is true, Idlecash can make spare capacity available to supported workloads. When any rule stops being true, it stops.

Change the computer on the left and the conditions on the right. The decision uses the same logic the desktop app will run.

Would contribute

Every condition is met, so available capacity could go to a supported workload.

Idlecash should never feel like it’s taking your computer away from you. You set the limits. Idlecash enforces them on your device and steps aside the moment you’re back.

  • Earn Mode on or off

    One switch. Off means nothing runs.

  • Active hours

    Contribute only inside the hours you choose.

  • Battery conditions

    Require power, or pause below a level you set.

  • CPU limit

    A hard cap on how much processor Idlecash may use.

  • GPU limit

    A cap on graphics use — and it backs off when you start using the GPU.

  • Resource choice

    Decide which resources may take part at all.

  • Storage allocation· later

    An exact amount of disk space, never more.

  • Bandwidth allocation· later

    A ceiling on the network capacity it may use.

Earn Mode may run

The marker is your current local time. Earn Mode only runs inside the arc — and only if your other conditions are met too.

Earn Mode runs in your browser — no download. A browser can’t see everything, so the dashboard only shows the conditions and limits it can actually enforce. An optional desktop app will cover the rest.

In your browser — today

  • Detects when your whole computer is idle, with your permission (Chrome and Edge)
  • Reads whether it’s plugged in, and the battery level
  • Holds CPU use to your limit with worker threads
  • Measures real compute capacity
  • Runs while an Idlecash tab is open

Desktop app — later, optional

  • Runs with no browser tab open
  • Measures GPU, storage and bandwidth availability
  • Adds GPU usage conditions and limits
  • Pairs with this website to show its readings
