# 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.

## Commands

| Command | What it does |

## Entries

1000+ original one-liners split across fake facts, fake wisdom, fortune cookies, absurd headlines, shower thoughts, and tiny prophecies.

Style: dry, witty, 70% believable, 30% nonsense.
