PresenceSimulator

Tired of your computer sleeping too often and instant messaging apps marking you 'away' while you're doing work on another computer or just having a conversation? This little utility simulates your presence to ensure others can reach you.

How it does it

The app pretends to play video or press F24 at regular intervals.

Update, 9 Mar 2020

  • Time to update this file, many small improvements
  • Main change: video or keypress simulation
  • UX cleanups, code still ugly bugly
  • Releases through GitHub, binaries and source code available for download

Update, 28 Feb 2020

  • Predefined 1, 3, 6, 12 hours timeouts in context enable menu

Update, 27 Feb 2020

  • Application now starts to tray icon (look for star icon)
  • Try icon context menu for enable, disable, settings, quit
  • Presence simulation stops after 60 minutes, time is adjustable in settings
  • Mushroom / Star icons in tray

Future

  • Testing video playing APIs to see if simulated keyboard click mechanism now used can be replaced. Clicks can interrupt other actions if you work while having the simulator enabled.
