What Is Idle Pilot and How Does It Work?

Idle Pilot is a cloud service that keeps your Slack status green according to a schedule you control, even when your own laptop is closed or asleep.
Instead of faking mouse movement on your machine, Idle Pilot runs a real Slack session in a browser in the cloud, logged in as you.

You link your Slack account once, set the hours when you want to appear active, and Idle Pilot takes it from there. During those windows, it keeps a low-traffic Slack session open and tells Slack you’re “active” so teammates see the green dot.
