Share bandwidth.
Get paid for it.
Run the gottem agent on a computer, phone or TV you already own. It serves crawl requests through your spare connection, metered per gigabyte and credited to your account. You set the speed cap and the block list.
macOS, Windows, Linux, Android and Android TV. Home connections only.

Three steps, in the order they happen.
- 01Account
Create an account
Email and password, or Google, GitHub or Discord. The account is where devices link and credits collect.
Create account - 02Device
Install and link
Install the agent on a device you own. It shows a pairing code; approve it from your account. It starts sharing inside the cap and block list you set.
Install - 03Payout
Get paid monthly
Every gigabyte served is credited to your account. Connect a payout account once, and each month's balance pays out when it clears the minimum.
Dashboard
A demonstration of a peer serving proxy bandwidth and browser compute, each event metered and credited, while block-listed domains are refused. The events are a sample, not a live account.

Pay and controls
What you are paid, and what you decide.
How pay is worked out
- Bandwidth
Per GB served
Every gigabyte your device serves is metered at the gateway and credited to your account. Your rate rises with lifetime volume and with the quality your connection scores, so it differs from peer to peer. Sign in to see yours.
- Compute
Per hour lent out
Per hour your machine is lent out for browser renders. Counted as machine-active time, so overlapping sessions pay once. Optional, off by a switch.
- Payout
Monthly, by Stripe
Credits for a month pay out in the following month, in US dollars, once your balance clears the minimum. Smaller balances carry forward. The dashboard shows the minimum and where you stand against it.
- Eligibility
Home connections
Residential and mobile lines. Traffic from data-center and cloud networks is refused for both lanes.
What moves your rate
Your rate rises with the volume your account has served over its life, full at about 500 GB, and with the quality your connection scores at the gateway. How much there is to serve is the other half: a peer gets only what the crawler routes to it, and that depends on demand near you. Your rate and the month so far are on your dashboard.
What you control
- Speed cap
5, 25, 100 Mbps, or none
A ceiling on what the agent may use of your line. Change it any time; it applies immediately.
- Block list
Any host, whole categories
Name a domain and requests to it are refused. Banking, webmail and streaming are blocked by default and can be allowed per category.
- Your history
Read on your device only
On setup the agent reads a copy of your browser history locally and blocks the sites you use most. Nothing about it leaves the machine.
- Two switches
Bandwidth, compute
Each lane has its own on and off. Browser renders run in a private session with no access to your profiles or cookies.
- Stop
Quit, or unlink
Quit the app and sharing stops. Unlink the device from your dashboard and it earns nothing until it is linked again.
All of it lives in the app on the device. Read the privacy policy and terms before you join.
Run a peer on a device you own.
macOS, Windows, Linux x86-64, Android, and Android-based TVs today. Linux ARM64 and iOS are not shipped yet. Android TV and Fire TV run the same APK as a phone.
Desktop, one line
$ curl -fsSL https://spider.cloud/peer.sh | shmacOS is one universal build for Intel and Apple Silicon. It is not yet notarized, so the first launch asks you to allow it in System Settings.
After you install
Open it once
It runs in the background from then on. There is no setup wizard.

Both are in the app. Sharing starts inside them.

07 questions
Which devices can run it?
macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows 10 and 11, Linux x86-64, Android 8 and up, and Android TV or Fire TV using the same Android build. Linux ARM64 and iOS are not shipped yet. The macOS build is not notarized, so the first launch needs an allow in System Settings.
What traffic goes through my connection?
Requests from Spider's crawler to public web pages, the same network that serves spider.cloud customers. Anything on your block list is refused before it leaves your device, and banking, webmail and streaming hosts are blocked by default.
Will it slow my internet?
The speed cap is the limit. Set it at 5, 25 or 100 Mbps, or leave it unlimited. The agent stays inside the cap whatever the demand.
How is pay worked out?
Bandwidth is metered per gigabyte served, compute per hour of machine-active time. Both are credited to your account and paid out monthly. We do not publish one rate, because yours rises with your lifetime volume and with the quality your connection scores. Your dashboard shows it next to the month so far.
What is the compute lane?
Some pages need a real browser to render. With compute on, the crawler can run those renders on your machine in a private browser session. It is paid per hour lent out, capped at 400 hours a month. Leave it off and only bandwidth is shared.
What happens after I sign up?
Install the agent, open it once, and enter its pairing code at gottem.dev/link. From then on it shares in the background. Connect a payout account from the dashboard whenever you like; credits wait for you.
Can I stop?
Yes, at any time. Turn a lane off, quit the app, or unlink the device. Nothing keeps running after that.
