"Because staying green is a full-time job."
Are you tired of your chat status turning "Away" the moment you step out to grab a coffee? Do you want to let your colleagues know you are intensely focused (even if you're just staring at the ceiling)?
Meet Status Keeper — your new best friend in the era of remote work.
This tiny Rust program does one thing, and it does it with unwavering dedication: It presses the Shift key for you every 5 minutes.
That's it. That's the app.
- Stealth Mode: Simulates a harmless
Shiftkey press. No accidental messages sent to your boss. - Caffeine Powered Logs: Every time it keeps you online, it celebrates with a coffee emoji and a timestamp.
[2024-03-20 10:05:00] Shift key pressed. ☕️ - Rust Reliability: Blazingly fast, memory safe, and absolutely overkill for pressing a single key.
- Clone the repo (or just copy the code, we won't judge).
- Run it:
cargo run
- Grant Permissions: macOS is paranoid. You'll need to grant "Accessibility" permissions to your terminal (e.g., iTerm, VS Code) in System Settings.
- System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility
- If it crashes, it will kindly yell at you to do this.
This tool is for educational purposes only. We are not responsible if:
- You get promoted for being "online 24/7".
- Your keyboard wears out the Shift key.
- Your boss asks why you were "typing" at 3 AM.
Happy "working"! 😉
