Features

Every feature in Wisely answers a real need that comes up when running WSL2 day to day on a resource-constrained machine.

Switching & safety

Switching profiles should never put your environment at risk.

Keyboard navigation (arrows + Enter) — no flags to memorize to switch profiles.

.wslconfig is backed up before every switch, with no action required from you.

Restore the previous backup with a single command if something goes wrong.

Automatic rollback triggers if .wslconfig turns out invalid right after it's written.

Simulates a full profile switch end to end without touching the system at all.

Everything starts from one JSON file — no code changes required.

Defined in data/profiles.json — editable and extensible without touching any code.

Create new profiles directly from the CLI, in a single command.

Share or back up your profiles outside the repo, as plain JSON.

wisely works from anywhere in your PowerShell terminal, no need to cd into the install folder.

Know what WSL2 is actually using, without keeping a terminal open.

A Windows scheduled task watches WSL2's memory use — runs with no terminal open.

Native Windows notifications the moment WSL2 crosses your configured threshold.

Every operation is logged; every week gets summarized.

Generated automatically every Monday at 9am, with zero manual effort.

Every operation is logged to data/history.json, browsable any time.
