Away from your desk. Your status stays green.
Going to the bathroom or refilling your drink shouldn't make you look offline. StayGreen keeps your status green for those few minutes, so your teammates know you're still around and message you like usual. When you come back and move the mouse, it stops.
Free for Windows 10 and 11. One file, no sign-up.
Works with Teams, Slack, Discord and other chat apps that set you to Away when your PC is idle.
How it works
When you step away
After a minute of no activity, StayGreen sends a small signal so your PC knows someone's still there. It doesn't type or click anything, and nothing changes on screen, but your chat apps see you as active.
When you come back
Touch the mouse or keyboard and it stops right away.
After work
Set your work days, hours and lunch break. Outside those times it does nothing.
Basic and Pro
Both are free.

- While StayGreen is keeping you green, Windows won't lock the screen or go to sleep on its own. Lock it yourself (Win + L) if you walk away for long.
- Some companies don't allow tools like this, so check your company's rules before using it.
