Why StayUp?

Not all productive work happens at the keyboard. Planning, deep thinking, and focused tasks may involve low physical activity, which some monitoring tools can misinterpret. StayUp ensures your workstation remains active in time tracking systems while respecting your privacy and workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is StayUp?+

StayUp is a desktop application designed to maintain and increase activity levels in time-tracking systems such as HubStaff, Time Doctor, and similar tools. It simulates user activity to prevent idle time detection.

How does StayUp work?+

StayUp simulates mouse clicks, mouse scrolling, and keyboard up/down key presses. The direction of scrolling, intervals between actions, and the types of actions performed are controlled by settings stored on the server and managed through a web dashboard.

Is StayUp visible in the operating system or time-tracking software?+

No. StayUp runs completely hidden from the operating system interface and is not visible in time-tracking systems.

How do I start and stop StayUp?+

You can control StayUp only via global hotkeys. Start or stop activity simulation with Ctrl + Shift + Z. A single sound indicates start, and a double sound indicates stop.

How do I open the settings window?+

Press Ctrl + Shift + A to open the modal window for entering or updating your token.

How do I exit the application?+

Press Ctrl + Shift + Q to completely close the StayUp application.

How does licensing and authentication work?+

Authentication to the web dashboard is done via Google Auth. A token (license key) is generated in the dashboard. Each time StayUp starts, it sends the token to the server, which checks the subscription status and returns the configuration if the subscription is active.

Where is my token stored?+

The token is stored locally in a config.ini file located next to the application executable.

Can I use one token on multiple devices?+

No. Each token can be used on only one device. The server verifies this using a hashed device ID.

What data does StayUp send to the server?+

StayUp sends the token, a hashed device ID, and the application build number to the server.

Can I rename the StayUp application file?+

Yes. You can rename the StayUp executable to any name for additional discretion.

What subscription options are available?+

StayUp is available via a paid subscription managed through a payment provider. You can cancel your subscription at any time.

Is there a refund policy?+

Refunds for the current billing period are not provided after payment.

Is there a trial period?+

Yes. StayUp offers a 7-day free trial.

What happens if my subscription is inactive or expired?+

If the subscription is inactive or expired, the server will return an error and StayUp will not receive or apply any activity settings.

Which operating systems are supported?+

StayUp is designed to work on major desktop operating systems. Specific platform support depends on the build you are using.
