How it works
The green dot runs on activity
Slack marks you active while it detects mouse or keyboard activity. If your device goes a while without movement, your dot turns grey and anyone looking sees "away", even with Slack in front of you.
The fix
Keep activity going automatically
- KeepOnDuty generates real micro-movements at intervals you choose.
- No tokens, no integrations and no changes to your workspace.
- Works in desktop Slack and the browser, on Mac and Windows.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I always show as active in Slack?
Run KeepOnDuty with a short interval; it keeps your green dot on without you touching the mouse.
Can my boss see it?
They only see your presence indicator (green or grey), like anyone's. KeepOnDuty keeps it green locally.
