Frequently Asked Questions

What does Idle Pilot do?

Idle Pilot keeps your Slack presence online during the exact working hours you set. It runs from the cloud using your real Slack web session with an optional Chrome extension for 1-click setup.

Is this allowed by Slack?

It uses Slack's own web client and APIs. You remain responsible for following your workspace rules and Slack's terms, but nothing extra is injected into your device.

Will IT or my manager see anything unusual?

Idle Pilot appears like a normal Slack web session tied to your schedule. If your company reviews access logs, they'll see a standard web login - so still follow your team's policies.

Do I need to keep my laptop awake?

No. Once connected, Idle Pilot maintains your presence from the cloud even if you close Slack, sleep your laptop, or change devices.

Does it require admin approval or install software?

No, it doesn't require admin approval because Idle Pilot uses the same access as a Slack web sign-in. The Chrome extension is optional and used only during setup.

What data does Idle Pilot store?

Your email, Slack profile/workspace basics, and the presence windows you configure. It never reads or stores Slack messages or files.

How do I pause or change my schedule?

Toggle Idle Pilot off instantly or edit your hours and time zone at any time. It signs you out as soon as you turn it off.
