A one-minute film

We forgot to touch grass.

Somewhere between prompts, we stopped meeting people. This is a small film about getting that back.

How it goes

Your AI thinks.
You say hi.

Whilely only shows up while Claude Code, Cursor or Codex is running: in your Mac's notch, or at the top of your screen on Windows. When your agent starts thinking, it wakes up with you and, if you feel like it, puts you face to face with someone else who's waiting on their AI too.

  1. 01

    Hit send.

    You've asked Claude to refactor the whole thing. Again. Whilely sees Claude Code start thinking, wakes up in your notch and quietly starts the clock.

  2. 02

    Say hi.

    One click and you're face to face with a real person: a designer in Lisbon, a student in Pune, someone stuck on the same build. Not clicking? Next.

  3. 03

    Back to work.

    The second the thinking stops, Whilely says so: go and finish your work. You go back to it a little lighter than you left.

Nobody free yet?

Play while
you wait.

Three tiny games live right in your notch, for the moments nobody's around. You never lose your place in line: the second someone's waiting, a little Join appears, and the game can wait instead.

  • Halfsies

    Cut it exactly in half.

    One straight line through the shape. Get as close to 50 | 50 as you can.

  • Shoo

    Herd everyone into the notch.

    They run from your cursor. Chase every last one of them home.

  • Puff

    Hold to puff. Don't pop.

    The closer you dare to get to popping, the more it's worth.

Just your best, and today's best. No leaderboards to climb, no streaks to keep.

Just people

Small, human,
and private.

No feeds. No followers. No likes to chase. Just a minute with a stranger, then back to your day.

  • No AI inside. Only the one you're already waiting on.
  • Calls go straight between the two of you, and are never recorded.
  • People see your @name and a pebble. Never your email.
  • Next, block or report, any time, in one click.
