Look Busy as a Remote Worker
Remote work gives you freedom and autonomy — but it also creates a constant pressure to prove you're working. Presence is performed through green dots, Slack messages, video call appearances, and screen content. Our full suite of fake work simulators helps remote workers manage that performance without letting it consume actual working time.

Launch Slack Team Chat Simulator →The Remote Worker's Visibility Challenge
In an office, presence is physical. You're seen walking to meetings, sitting at your desk, talking to colleagues. Remote workers have to manufacture that visibility digitally. Slack status, Teams availability, video call backgrounds, async check-in messages — the signals are different but the pressure is the same. Our simulators cover the visual layer: what your screen looks like on camera and what's visible when someone is watching. The Slack simulator handles active-communication signaling, while chart dashboards handle analytical-work signaling.
Managing the Green Dot
Your online status is the first thing people check. A grey dot during working hours raises eyebrows. Our MS Teams Status Keeper automatically maintains your Available status through simulated mouse activity — no more manually moving the mouse every 20 minutes. For Slack, the platform uses different activity signals, but keeping a Slack window focused and active (which our Slack simulator does visually) helps maintain perceived presence.
Building a Remote Work Presence Stack
The most effective approach combines multiple tools: the Teams status keeper running in one tab, a Slack simulator visible on a secondary monitor or as a Zoom background, and an Excel dashboard ready to switch to during unexpected video calls. This isn't about avoiding work — it's about managing the performance overhead of remote work so your actual productive hours can be spent on actual work, not on performing productivity.
