Slack away status, handled automatically

Keep Your Slack Status Active During Work Hours

Slack can mark you away even when you're working. NotAway keeps your Slack presence active during your scheduled hours, across multiple workspaces.

Built for real Slack presence problems

NotAway is not a mouse jiggler. It is a scheduled Slack presence service for people who need to appear active while they are actually working.

Keep Slack green

Maintain your Slack green dot during the days and hours you choose, so Slack does not show you away while you are in focus work, calls, or another app.

Multiple workspaces

Add client, company, and community workspaces in one dashboard instead of switching between Slack teams just to look online.

Sync error alerts

If Slack credentials stop working, NotAway detects the workspace sync error and emails you to refresh the connection before it becomes a surprise.

How it works

1

Add Workspace

Connect your Slack workspace by providing your session tokens. Takes under a minute.

2

Set Schedule

Choose which days and hours you want to appear active. Supports all timezones.

3

Stay Active

NotAway keeps your Slack online status active and alerts you if a workspace needs refreshed credentials.

Why NotAway

Slack automatically sets your status to "away" after just a few minutes of inactivity. Whether you're in a meeting, working on a different device, or simply taking a short break, your coworkers see you as away — and that can lead to missed messages, delayed responses, and the wrong impression about your availability.

NotAway keeps your Slack status active so you always appear online. Instead of relying on mouse jigglers, browser extensions, or keeping Slack open on your phone, NotAway works in the background to maintain your green active status on Slack. There's no app to install and nothing to keep running on your computer.

Set a custom schedule to appear active on Slack only during your working hours. Choose the days and times that match your routine, and NotAway handles the rest. It works with multiple Slack workspaces too — ideal for freelancers, contractors, and anyone juggling several teams.

If you've ever searched for how to keep Slack from showing away, how to stay online on Slack, or how to prevent Slack away status, NotAway is the answer. It's a simple, reliable service that keeps your Slack green status active so you can focus on your work — not on managing your online presence.

NotAway also helps with the operational side: if a workspace stops syncing because Slack credentials need to be refreshed, you get an email notification instead of silently losing your active status. That makes it easier to keep Slack active reliably across every workspace you depend on.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep my Slack status active?
NotAway keeps your Slack status active automatically. Just sign up, add your Slack workspace, and set your preferred schedule. NotAway will maintain your active status during those hours — no app to install, no browser to keep open.
How to prevent Slack from showing me as away?
Slack automatically marks you as away after a short period of inactivity. NotAway prevents this by keeping your session active in the background. Your status stays green and online, even if you're working on something else or away from your desk.
Does NotAway work with multiple Slack workspaces?
Yes! NotAway supports multiple Slack workspaces. You can add all the workspaces you need and manage them from a single dashboard. This is especially useful for freelancers and contractors who work with several teams.
Will I know if a Slack workspace stops syncing?
Yes. NotAway watches for workspace sync errors and sends an email when credentials need to be refreshed. This helps you fix the workspace before your Slack active status silently stops updating.
Can I schedule when I appear active on Slack?
Absolutely. NotAway lets you set a custom schedule with specific days and hours. Choose your timezone, pick the days of the week, and set start and end times. Your Slack status will only be kept active during the hours you choose.
Is NotAway safe to use?
NotAway uses your Slack session tokens to maintain your active status. Your tokens are stored securely and are only used to keep your status online. We don't read your messages, access your files, or modify anything in your workspace. You can remove your workspace at any time.
