Setup guide

Set up Whilely.

Two minutes, once. After that it lives in your notch and wakes up when your AI is working.

Install the Whilely Mac app for me: run curl -fsSL https://whilely.com/install.sh | bash in my terminal. It downloads Whilely from whilely.com, puts it in Applications and opens it.

  1. 1Copy the prompt

  2. 2Paste it into your AI agent

  3. 3Say yes. It's in your notch

  1. 01

    Sign in, in the app

    Click the notch → Sign in to Whilely. The Whilely window opens: continue with Google, or use email and a password, then pick your @name. There's nothing to sign into on this website.

  2. 02

    Wait on something

    Press ⌃⌥W when you hit send, or pick your AI in the notch. Click Random video to meet someone who's waiting too. Nobody around? Play.

  3. +

    Optional: let Claude Code tell Whilely

    Add this to ~/.claude/settings.json and Whilely starts and stops on its own. It only learns that you're waiting, never what you asked.
