All Features
Everything you need for scheduled availability
From setup to daily use, Idle Pilot follows the rules you choose

Use the optional Chrome extension during supported setup flows, then remove it after your platform is connected.
Manual Setup
Prefer Firefox, Safari, or Edge? Use our manual setup flow that works with any browser. Takes about 5 minutes.
Cloud-Based
Presence runs from our cloud servers, not your device. Close your laptop, switch devices, or go offline—your selected platform stays available during scheduled hours.

Idle Pilot manages availability without reading chats, DMs, channels, teams, files, or other platform content.

Pause your schedule or disconnect completely with one click. Your platform presence returns to normal immediately.
User-Controlled Rules

Features FAQ
Common questions about Idle Pilot features
How do I set different hours for different days?
In your Idle Pilot dashboard, each day of the week has its own toggle and time settings. You can set Monday 9am-5pm, Tuesday 10am-6pm, and so on. Each day can also be turned off entirely.
Can I add a lunch break to my schedule?
Yes. Each day supports an optional lunch break with custom start and end times. Your status will go away during the break and return to active afterward.
How does Vacation Mode work?
Vacation Mode reacts to a status you select on the connected platform. When that status matches, Idle Pilot pauses the schedule and resumes after it ends.
Does the Chrome extension stay installed?
The Chrome extension is only used during supported initial setup flows. After connection, you can remove it. Idle Pilot runs from the cloud, not the extension.
Does Freedom Pass support Slack and Microsoft Teams?
Yes. It supports either platform, one connected at a time, with the same Work Hours, breaks, Vacation Mode, Activity History, and controls.
How do I view my activity history?
Your Idle Pilot dashboard shows a timeline of your presence activity. You can see when your status was active, when breaks occurred, and review patterns from previous days.
