Your phone works while you sleep.
IdleEarn puts your Android phone's unused computing power to work during the hours it's just sitting there — and pays you for it. You set the schedule. You stay in control.
Currently available for Android. No credit card required to start.
Most of your phone's power goes to waste
Modern phones carry processors built for far more than checking notifications. For most of the day, that power just sits there — idle, plugged in, doing nothing. IdleEarn puts it to work on real computing tasks that companies need done, and shares the earnings with you.
How you earn
Four steps to turn idle device time into earnings.
You set the schedule
Choose when your phone is allowed to work: while you sleep, only while charging, or custom hours you pick.
IdleEarn activates automatically
When your phone meets the conditions you set, IdleEarn switches on. No need to open the app.
Your device gets to work
Your phone securely completes computing tasks in the background — never touching your personal content.
You earn
Completed work adds to your IdleEarn wallet. Cash out once earnings are confirmed.
Set the rules. Change them anytime.
You decide exactly when IdleEarn is allowed to run — by time of day, charging status, network, or battery level. Build multiple earning windows, or turn everything off with one tap. Nothing runs without your say-so.
Built to protect your phone, not push it
IdleEarn is designed to step back the moment your phone needs its resources for you.
You start using your phone
IdleEarn steps aside the moment you pick it up.
Battery gets low
Work pauses automatically below your minimum battery setting.
Phone runs warm
Activity reduces or stops if your device heats up.
Wi-Fi disconnects
If you require Wi-Fi, IdleEarn pauses the moment you lose it.
You unplug
If charging is required, work stops as soon as you unplug.
Your window ends
When your scheduled time is up, IdleEarn stops on its own.
IdleEarn uses spare computing power. Never your personal content.
The tasks your device completes never need anything personal. The following are always off-limits:

Questions, answered
Yes. IdleEarn automatically pauses or reduces activity under conditions you control. It backs off when you start using your phone, when your battery drops below your minimum, or when your device gets warm.
No. IdleEarn uses your device's spare computing power without ever touching your photos, messages, contacts, passwords, emails, personal files, other app data, camera, or microphone.
Once your earnings reach Available status, you decide how to get paid, right from the Wallet tab. Choose a bank transfer, PayPal, Venmo, a gift card, or another payment option offered in your region.
It depends on your settings. By default, IdleEarn runs only while your phone is charging, so your battery doesn't drain. If you allow it to run unplugged, it will use battery. Background activity also uses a small amount of additional electricity while it runs.
Most recent Android phones work with IdleEarn. Confirm compatibility before installing.
It depends on your payment method and region. You'll see any minimum that applies in your Wallet before you cash out.
