Frequently Asked Questions

Does Idle Pilot work when my laptop is closed?

Yes. Once connected, Idle Pilot runs from the cloud. Your laptop can be closed, asleep, offline, or off during your configured Work Hours.

Do I need Slack admin approval?

No. Idle Pilot connects through your own Slack web session. No workspace bot, no IT ticket, no admin install.

What do I need for setup?

A desktop browser and about 2 minutes. Chrome gets the fastest setup; other browsers can use the manual flow.

What is Boss Alarm?

Boss Alarm is included in Pro. You pick up to 5 bosses, choose DMs only or DMs plus mentions, verify your phone, and Idle Pilot calls you if they write during your alert window.

What happens if I choose Freedom Pass after the trial?

Your Slack presence schedule can keep running on Freedom Pass. Boss Alarm stops placing calls, but your setup stays saved if you upgrade to Pro later.

Can I turn it off anytime?

Yes. Pause Idle Pilot or cancel whenever you want. When it turns off, your Slack presence returns to normal Slack behavior.
