waitpal 2.0.0

A friendly companion that keeps you entertained while long commands run.

waitpal

A passive terminal companion that shows witty one-liners in a box at the bottom-right of your PowerShell — whether you're typing, running commands, or just staring at the screen.

pip install waitpal
waitpal install-profile

Open a fresh PowerShell. That's it.

What it looks like

+----------------------------------------------------------+
| Every Indian ceiling fan has two speeds: off, and        |
| preparing for liftoff.                                   |
+----------------------------------------------------------+

Sits quietly at the bottom-right corner. Updates every 6 seconds. Never interrupts you.

How it works

• On every new PowerShell terminal, a background Python process starts silently
• It draws a box at the bottom-right corner of your terminal every 6 seconds
• Cycles through 1000+ entries — fake facts, Indian observations, shower thoughts, absurd headlines
• Dies automatically when you close the terminal

No daemons. No lingering processes. No interaction needed.
