    🚀 IDLESAVER DESKTOP — NOW IN BETA
    ——————————————————————————
    The IdleSaver Desktop app is here — OS kernel-level idle detection that works across every app on your machine, not just the browser.

    ——————————————————————————
    WHAT'S NEW
    ——————————————————————————
    
    Custom Inactivity Delay: Set your own idle timeout (5 seconds to 5 minutes) before the extension triggers.
    Dark / Light Mode: Switch between themes for a cleaner, more comfortable experience.
    Refreshed UI: A modern, minimal interface with improved clarity and usability.
    Background Tab Protection: Sessions on inactive tabs are now kept alive — switching tabs no longer puts your other sessions at risk.
    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
    ——————————————————————————
    
    Preventing inactivity timeouts in work-logging or HR systems
    Avoiding "away/idle" status in monitoring tools
    Keeping long-running dashboards, analytics, or internal web apps awake
    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.
