Cloud-based Slack presence scheduler

What is the main use case for Idle Pilot?

​

Keeping your Slack green dot on when you're doing things that aren't Slack — Zoom calls, deep work in docs or code, reading, thinking, making coffee. Slack's 10-minute idle timer doesn't distinguish between "away from work" and "working outside of Slack," and IdlePilot fixes that gap.

​

What are some unique features of idlepilot.com?

​

Cloud-based with no local dependency — works when your laptop is off. Per-day schedule with timezone support and lunch break gaps. Connects with your own account, no workspace bot or admin approval. Presence only, zero message access. Pause and resume anytime. $4/month flat across all features, no tiers or upsells.

The unique part isn't any single feature — it's what's missing. No desktop app to keep running, no Chrome extension to babysit, no hidden tab, no mouse movement, no background process. You set it once and never think about it again.

​

Can a user use Idle Pilot for free?

​

Yes. The first month is completely free. No credit card upfront — you get full access to everything for 30 days. After that it's $4/month or $24/year.

There are no feature-gated tiers. Free month users get the exact same product as paying users.
