KeepOnDuty for Slack
Keep your Slack dot green
Slack turns your presence to “away” after a few minutes idle. KeepOnDuty keeps the green dot on while you do anything else.

The problem
The green dot isn't up to Slack — it's up to your system
Slack marks you “active” while there's mouse or keyboard activity. As soon as your device sees no movement for a while, your dot turns grey and anyone looking sees “away” — even with Slack open in front of you.
KeepOnDuty generates real micro-movements at intervals you choose, so Slack keeps seeing you active. No tokens, no integrations and no changes to your workspace.
Great for
When you're there, just not on the mouse

- Builds, renders or downloads that take a while and you don't want to look away.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I always show as active in Slack?
Install KeepOnDuty, press Start and leave a short interval (e.g. 2–3 min). It keeps your green dot on without you touching the mouse.
How do I stay active on Slack without touching my mouse?
KeepOnDuty moves the mouse for you at the system level. It's not a fake cursor: it's real movement that resets the idle timer Slack uses to mark you away.
How do I stop Slack from saying I'm away?
Slack marks you away from system inactivity, not from closing the app. With KeepOnDuty running, that inactivity never reaches the threshold, so you don't go away.
Can my boss see my Slack status?
Anyone in your workspace can see your presence indicator (green or grey). KeepOnDuty simply keeps that indicator green locally; it doesn't change workspace permissions or logs.
Does it work in desktop Slack and the browser?
Yes. Because it operates at system level, it keeps your presence regardless of how you have Slack open.
