What Slack offers
- A notification schedule that silences notifications outside your hours.
- A custom status that can clear itself after a time.
- Manual away and active.
What’s missing
None of these keep the green dot on according to your working hours when your computer is idle or off.
Alternatives
- Do it by hand every day.
- Keep a computer on and active, with keep-awake software or hardware.
- Use a cloud service that holds a connection on your schedule, such as Stayslit.
Stayslit at a glance
- Per-day hours with an optional lunch break.
- Instant off and breaks of 15, 30 or 60 minutes.
- Vacation mode driven by your status emoji.
- History, and alerts if something needs your attention.
