Bypass the Slack 10-Minute Timeout
Slack’s presence tracker automatically switches your green dot to an empty circle if it doesn't detect system-level input for 10 minutes. In a fast-paced remote work environment, colleagues and managers use this dot as a real-time indicator of your availability.
If you are reviewing a long brief or taking a phone call, you are still working—even if your mouse is still. Our online utility leverages native web APIs to seamlessly inject activity signals into your machine, tricking Slack into maintaining your 'Active' status indefinitely.
How to Keep Slack Active in 3 Steps
1. Choose Your Duration
Use the custom timer to set exactly how long you need your Slack status to remain active while you step away.
2. Click Start
Activate the engine. The tool immediately prevents your computer's screen from locking, which is what triggers the away status.
3. Switch Tabs
Turn on Background Mode and minimize the browser. Your Slack dot will stay solid green while the tool runs silently.
Slack Status FAQs
Does this work for the Slack Desktop App?
Yes. Slack reads your computer's overall system activity. Because our tool keeps the operating system awake, both the web browser and desktop versions of Slack will remain green.
Will my workspace admin know I'm using this?
No. Move My Cursor operates entirely within your browser's secure sandbox. It does not install software or alter registry files, making it invisible to admin monitoring.
Does it work if I have multiple Slack workspaces open?
Absolutely. The active status will apply universally to every Slack workspace you are currently logged into on that machine.
