IdleSaver

Automatically simulates a click after user inactivity to prevent idle detection or session timeout.

IdleSaver is a lightweight and privacy-friendly Chrome extension that keeps you active on dashboards, work apps, and monitoring systems by simulating user activity after a defined period of inactivity. —————————————————————————— WHAT'S NEW —————————————————————————— 1. Custom Inactivity Delay: Set your own idle timeout (5 seconds to 5 minutes) before the extension triggers. 2. Dark / Light Mode: Switch between themes for a cleaner, more comfortable experience. 3. Refreshed UI: A modern, minimal interface with improved clarity and usability. 4. Background Tab Protection: Sessions on inactive tabs are now kept alive — switching tabs no longer puts your other sessions at risk. 5. Network Session Keepalive: Automatically detects and replays your app's session heartbeat requests, preventing server-side session expiry — not just browser-side timeouts. —————————————————————————— HOW IT WORKS —————————————————————————— When no activity is detected for your chosen duration, IdleSaver: - Simulates mouse movement, clicks, focus, and scroll events to satisfy browser-based idle detectors - Replays session keepalive network requests the page has already made (e.g. /ping, /heartbeat, /session/refresh) to keep server-side sessions alive - Continues protecting all open tabs — even ones running in the background - Logs activity to the console so you always know it's working Start or stop anytime from the extension popup. —————————————————————————— PERFECT FOR —————————————————————————— 1. Preventing inactivity timeouts in work-logging or HR systems 2. Avoiding "away/idle" status in monitoring tools 3. Keeping long-running dashboards, analytics, or internal web apps awake 4. Maintaining sessions across multiple open tabs simultaneously —————————————————————————— PRIVACY-FRIENDLY —————————————————————————— IdleSaver runs entirely on your device. It does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. Activity simulation is local-only — only your existing session requests are replayed, nothing new is sent to external servers. Note: IdleSaver works on any http:// or https:// website. It cannot run on chrome://, browser settings pages, or the Chrome Web Store itself due to Chrome's built-in security restrictions. It also cannot defeat OS-level employee monitoring software (e.g. Teramind, ActivTrak) as those operate outside the browser.
