Digital Stillness Without Disconnection

IdleNe is a light-presence system for people who need time to think without disappearing from the world. It's not a blocker. It’s not detox. It’s ambient silence — powered by your calendar and your needs.
Whether you're creating, reading, recovering or resting — IdleNe gently filters interactions, sets your status across platforms, and gives you back mental surface area to think.

Philosophy

Why We Built IdleNe

We are not anti-technology. We love tools, apps, communication, and openness. But too many tools are built to interrupt, notify, ask for “just a minute.”
IdleNe was built as a counterpoint — a way to remain digitally visible but energetically unavailable. We believe you don’t need to vanish to feel calm. You just need boundaries that are elegant, flexible, and respectful.
This isn’t about productivity. It’s about clarity.

What It Does

How IdleNe Works (Without Working Against You)

Each feature is designed to integrate smoothly into your digital flow:

  • Smart Passive Mode snow

    Automatically triggers when your calendar shows focus blocks, personal time, or “no meeting” windows. Syncs with Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar.

  • Soft Status Layersnow

    Instead of going fully invisible, IdleNe sends signals to Slack, Discord, and Telegram that you’re active but not to be disturbed. This helps set expectations gently.

  • Micro Quiet Windowssnow

    Enable quick silent intervals (10–60 minutes) for thinking time or transitions. A floating widget shows when you’ll be “re-available.”

  • Mind Buffer Notes snow

    While idle, jot quiet thoughts. They’re stored in a buffer — a low-pressure inbox for your own ideas, away from the noise.

  • Weekly Presence Mapsnow

    Visualize your quiet-to-busy ratio over time. Understand how often you truly get space.

FAQ

Let’s Clear Things Up

  • Is this a blocker or time tracker?

    Neither. IdleNe is a presence manager — it creates calm, not limits.

  • Can I still check messages?

    Yes — but IdleNe pauses active alerts and gently shows people you’re in Passive mode.

  • What’s the difference from ‘Do Not Disturb’?

    DND hides you. IdleNe communicates your state with elegance and intention.

  • Will others know I’m using it?

    They’ll see a status or passive ring — customizable and optional.

  • Is it useful if I don’t get many messages?

    Yes — it also supports solitude, reflection, and personal structure.

  • Does it store my notes/data?

    Only locally, unless you opt into cloud sync for your Mind Buffer.
