You prefer to pay once

A cloud tool may suit you better if

You are fine with a cloud service holding your Slack or Teams session

Cloud services use your Slack session from their server. Slack Green states that on paid Slack plans, admins can see that IP in the access logs. Slack Green: what admins see

Frequently asked questions

Why pay for NoAway when there are free tools? expand_more

Many free utilities only stop your computer from sleeping: the screen stays on, but Teams or Slack can still mark you Away after a few minutes without input. Others need manual setup, scripts or settings changes on each computer. NoAway keeps the system active in a way Teams, Slack and Zoom recognise, works from the menu bar or tray in one click, and costs €4.99 once, with a 7-day refund if it doesn't suit you.

Prefer a local app you pay for once?
