About Clixad

Clixad is a terminal-based AI coding agent that integrates directly into a developer’s workflow. It reads, searches, and edits project files, and executes commands such as running test suites. All changes are presented as diffs for review before application, ensuring user control over modifications. The agent operates on a credit system where free daily credits are available up to a limit, with additional credits earned by completing offers or through smaller grants like daily streaks or referrals. Tasks pause when credits are exhausted and resume after topping up. Supported AI models include Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, Kimi K2, Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Opus 5, with costs varying by model strength. The tool emphasizes privacy by never sending code or prompts to advertisers, though IP addresses are visible to ad networks when sponsored content is fetched.

Frequently asked questions about Clixad

What is a coding agent?

A coding agent is a program you run in your terminal that works inside your project. It opens files, edits them, and runs commands like your test suite. Clixad shows you a diff of every change it wants to make and waits for you to approve it before applying any modifications.

Is Clixad free to use?

Yes. There is no subscription or payment card required. Users receive 25,000 credits upon signing up. Additional credits can be earned by completing offers on the offerwall or through smaller grants such as daily streaks, rating answers, or inviting others.

How does Clixad make money?

Advertisers pay Clixad for completed offers, and a small amount for sponsored lines shown in the terminal. Most of this revenue is returned to users as credits, while a small share is retained to sustain the business. The free tier is not a limited-time trial.

Do I have to watch ads to use Clixad?

No. Ads are only required if you want more credits, and you choose which offers to complete. You are credited only when the advertiser confirms you finished the offer. Being screened out partway through is common and pays nothing or a small bonus.

Which AI models can I use with Clixad?

Clixad supports multiple AI models, including Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, Kimi K2, Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Opus 5. Stronger models cost more credits per turn, so they consume credits faster.

Can advertisers see my code?

No. Your code, prompts, and project names are never sent to advertisers. Offers open in a separate browser page. The sponsored line in the terminal does not transmit prompts, though your IP address may be visible to ad networks when fetching the ad.
