Overview

Meanwhile turns AI waiting time into a small reset for your body.

Every prompt you send to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini comes with a few seconds of waiting. Meanwhile uses that idle time to offer a quiet, optional stretch — a neck roll, a shoulder release, a long exhale — and disappears the moment your AI response is ready.

HOW IT WORKS
A subtle overlay appears while the AI is generating. Follow along if you want, ignore it if you don't. When the response arrives, it's gone.

FEATURES
- Short, desk-friendly stretches designed for knowledge workers
- Works on Claude (claude.ai), ChatGPT (chat.openai.com), and Gemini (gemini.google.com)
- Non-intrusive — never blocks the chat, never interrupts your flow
- Zero configuration. Install and forget
- No account, no sign-in

PRIVACY
Meanwhile runs entirely in your browser. It does not read your prompts, store your conversations, or send any data to a server. Nothing leaves your machine.

WHY
We're spending more and more of our day waiting on AI. Those seconds add up to minutes, minutes to hours. Meanwhile is a small attempt to give that time back to your body instead of your scroll thumb.
