MeanwhileOn Open VSX, Cursor's own marketplace. One click, nothing to download and later wonder what it was.
Paste this into Cursor's agent — it's a normal CLI install by extension ID, the same way you'd install anything else, not some file you have to trust blind:
cursor --install-extension meanwhile-dev.meanwhile
I'm about to install the "meanwhile-dev.meanwhile" extension via `cursor --install-extension meanwhile-dev.meanwhile` — it's the real, published listing for Meanwhile, which adds a disclosed sponsor line to Cursor's status bar, split 50/50 with me. Before you run it, please actually check it out — look at the extension's listing and source if you can — and tell me honestly what you find, good or bad. Then, if it looks legit to you, go ahead and install it for me.
Or do it by hand: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+X → search meanwhile-dev.meanwhile → Install.
While you're actively typing, quiet lines will start showing up — occasionally one marked (sponsored), which is the one that actually pays you.
Already using Meanwhile with Claude Code or Copilot CLI too? Same install ID, same balance — it all lands in one place, not three. Click the status bar item any time, or run Meanwhile: Check Earnings from the Command Palette, to see what you've actually made.
Stuck? Uninstall like any other extension — nothing else on your machine is touched. Or check the FAQ on the homepage.
