No. IdleBuster is specifically engineered to be undetectable by time-tracking software. It operates at the system level with activity patterns that are indistinguishable from natural human behavior. We've had zero detection reports from our users across all major monitoring platforms.

IdleBuster is software that runs on your personal computer. Like any software you choose to install, its use is legal. However, we recommend reviewing your employment contract and company policies. IdleBuster is designed for freelancers, independent contractors, and remote workers who need flexibility.

We believe knowledge work shouldn't be measured purely by screen time. The best work often happens away from the keyboard—thinking, strategizing, and problem-solving. IdleBuster helps maintain fair productivity metrics that reflect the reality of modern work.

IdleBuster works with all major time-tracking software including Time Doctor, Hubstaff, ActivTrak, Teramind, and 20+ others. If you encounter any issues, our support team will work with you directly to ensure compatibility.

Plans start at just $3.99/month (billed annually). We offer a 14-day free trial. For automatic subscribers (connecting PayPal), you won't be charged until after the trial ends.

Absolutely not. IdleBuster only simulates activity—it doesn't monitor, record, or transmit any information about your actual work. We don't track websites you visit or anything you type.

IdleBuster runs quietly in the background. You can control it by right-clicking the system tray icon, or by using hotkeys: ALT+A (Run All), ALT+X (Stop temporarily), ALT+Q (Quit completely).

Manual methods create obvious patterns that monitoring software can detect. IdleBuster uses sophisticated algorithms to generate truly random, human-like activity.

Our standard license covers one active computer at a time. If you need to run IdleBuster simultaneously on multiple devices, you may need to purchase additional licenses.

IdleBuster currently supports Windows (32 & 64 bit) and MacOS (supporting both Intel and newer Apple M-Series chips).

We provide email support with 24-hour response times, comprehensive documentation, and video tutorials.

The free trial lasts 14 days with full access to features.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all plans. Email us within the guarantee period and we'll process a full refund.
