Is there an app to keep Slack active and green?

Yes. Stay Green On Slack is a cloud-based app that keeps your Slack presence green and active automatically. It runs on remote servers and pings Slack on your behalf, so your status stays green even when your laptop is closed.

Do mouse jigglers still work for Slack in 2026?

Mouse jigglers technically still work while your laptop is on and unlocked, but they fail the moment your machine sleeps, locks, or you step away with your laptop. Cloud-based apps have replaced them as the reliable way to keep Slack active.

Will I get caught using an app to keep Slack green?

Cloud apps that use your own Slack session look identical to Slack itself — the same APIs the Slack app uses. There is no detection from your IT team and no flag in Slack's admin console. The presence simply reads as active.

How much does it cost?

$3.99 per month after a 14-day free trial. No credit card required for the trial.

Cloud app to keep Slack active green status — the 2026 version

A cloud app to keep Slack active green status in 2026 should do three things:

Run independently of your device. Laptop off? Status still green. Phone dead? Status still green.
Respect your schedule. Green during work hours. Off on weekends. Or always on if you prefer.
Use Slack's own APIs. Not browser automation. Not screen scraping. The same protocol the Slack desktop client uses, so it's indistinguishable from being there in person.

Slack marks you Away after exactly 30 minutes of no mouse or keyboard activity. That's the rule that breaks every other approach:

Mouse jigglers only work while you're at your desk and your laptop is on.
Browser tabs require Slack to remain open and at least occasionally focused.
Local scripts stop the moment your machine sleeps, restarts, or hits a software update.

A cloud app sidesteps all of this. Your Slack session lives on a remote server that pings Slack on your behalf — every minute, around the clock, regardless of whether your laptop is on, asleep, or in another country.

How Stay Green On Slack — the cloud app — works in 2026

Install the Chrome extension. It reads your Slack session token directly from your browser — no DevTools, no copy-pasting.
Open Slack in Chrome. Click the Stay Green extension icon and press Connect.
Set your schedule (or pick 24/7). Choose the hours you want to appear active, or flip the always-on toggle.
Close everything. Your status stays green from the cloud.
