Idle Pilot
Cloud-based Slack presence scheduler
Cloud-based Slack presence scheduler that keeps your Slack presence active even when your laptop is closed.
What does Idle Pilot do?
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.
