Intro

Idle Pilot is a cloud-based service that keeps a user's Slack green presence active even when their laptop is closed, asleep, or off. It is designed so the green dot reflects scheduled work hours rather than keyboard activity. The product emphasizes a simple setup where you "schedule it once" and the service handles presence in the cloud; nothing runs on your computer. Available onboarding includes a 7-day free trial with no credit card required and a single subscription plan with monthly and annual billing options.

Key Features

• Keeps the Slack green dot active when a laptop is closed, asleep, or off.
• Cloud-based presence management; the product states that nothing runs on the user’s computer.
• Per-day schedules to define when presence should be shown.
• Lunch break scheduling and a vacation mode for presence control.
• A clean activity history that records presence changes.
• Designed as a "schedule it once" workflow to automate presence without continuous local software.

Who this is for

• Slack users who want their available status to match scheduled hours instead of keyboard activity.
• Individuals who need per-day schedules, explicit lunch break handling, or a vacation mode for presence.
• Users who prefer a single all-features subscription and want to try the service via a short, no-card free trial.
