# waitpal

A terminal companion that shows witty one-liners every 6 seconds in your terminal title bar, plus one after every command.

```bash
pip install waitpal
waitpal install-profile
```

That's it. Open a fresh PowerShell.

## What it does

| Behavior | How |
|---|---|
| **Terminal title updates every 6s** | Even if you're just typing or idle, the title bar cycles through entries |
| **Entry after every command** | After `dir`, `git push`, anything — a new entry appears before the next prompt |
| **Stops when terminal closes** | Everything is session-bound — no background processes, no lingering |

## Commands

| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| `waitpal install-profile` | Wire the 6s ticker + prompt hook into PowerShell |
| `waitpal uninstall-profile` | Remove it |
| `waitpal show` | Print one random entry and exit |
| `waitpal` | Start background daemon (logs entries every 10s to file) |
| `waitpal stop` | Stop the daemon |
| `waitpal status` | Check daemon status |
