Quick Summary

Connect unlimited workspaces, sync your status across all clients automatically, and maintain a professional presence 24/7 - without manually updating each workspace. Save 5-10 hours per week on workspace management. No credit card required, free forever.
The Multi-Workspace Challenge for Freelancers
If you're a freelancer or consultant, you know the struggle. Each client wants you in their Slack workspace. You're constantly switching between 4, 5, sometimes 6+ different workspaces throughout the day. And each one shows you as "away" when you're not actively in it.
You're actively working for Client A, but Clients B, C, and D all see you as "away" in their workspaces. This makes you look unavailable or unprofessional, even though you're fully engaged with work.
Every time a message comes in, you have to switch to that workspace, mark yourself active, respond, then switch back. This context switching kills your productivity and drains mental energy.
Your clients are spread across different time zones. Some expect responses during their business hours, others work odd hours. Managing availability across multiple time zones manually is nearly impossible.
Clients are paying premium rates. When you appear "away" frequently, it raises questions about your availability and dedication - even if you're working 50+ hours a week.
How Slackactivity Solves Multi-Workspace Management
Slackactivity was designed specifically for professionals managing multiple Slack workspaces. Here's how it transforms your workflow:
Unlimited Workspaces
Connect all your client workspaces - 3, 5, 10, or more. No limits on the free plan. Manage everything from one dashboard without upgrading.
Synchronized Status
Set your status once, apply it everywhere. When you're active, all your clients see you as active. One update syncs across all workspaces instantly.
Automatic Presence Management
Stay active across all workspaces during your work hours - even when you're not actively using Slack. No manual updates needed.
Per-Workspace Schedules
Different clients in different time zones? Set custom work hours for each workspace to match each client's expectations.
Real Scenarios: How Freelancers Use Slackactivity
Sarah - Freelance Full-Stack Developer
4 Active Clients, 4 Slack Workspaces
Sarah works with 4 different startups, each requiring her to be in their Slack workspace. She found herself constantly switching between workspaces to appear online, often missing messages because she was focused in one workspace while another client needed her.
Connected all 4 workspaces to Slackactivity. Set her work hours to 9 AM - 6 PM Monday-Friday. Now she appears active in all 4 workspaces simultaneously during work hours, regardless of which one she's actively using.
Saves 8-10 hours per week in workspace switching time. Clients respond faster because they see her as available. Got two new referrals from satisfied clients who appreciate her responsiveness.
Marcus - Marketing Consultant
6 Clients Across 3 Time Zones
Marcus consults for companies in EST, PST, and GMT time zones. Each client expects him to be available during their business hours. He was working 14+ hour days trying to accommodate everyone and still appearing "away" half the time.
Set up workspace-specific schedules in Slackactivity. His EST clients see him active 9-5 EST, PST clients see him active during their hours, and GMT clients during theirs - all automatically managed without him lifting a finger.
Cut his actual work hours from 70 to 45 per week while maintaining better client satisfaction. Clients think he's incredibly responsive. He's raised his rates by 30% based on his "availability" reputation.
Priya - UX/UI Design Consultant
3 Major Clients + 2 Small Projects
Priya dedicates specific days to specific clients (Monday/Tuesday for Client A, Wednesday/Thursday for Client B, etc.). But all clients wanted her to appear available in their Slack every day, which meant manually updating 5 workspaces every morning and evening.
Connected all 5 workspaces to Slackactivity and set a consistent 9-6 schedule. Now she appears active across all workspaces during work hours, even on days she's not actively working for that particular client.
Eliminated 2 hours per day of manual status management. Clients feel more connected even when she's working for others. Can respond to urgent requests without clients feeling like she's "never there."
Key Benefits for Freelancers & Consultants
Stop manually switching between workspaces to update your status. That's 20-40 hours per month you can spend on billable work or growing your business.
Appear consistently available and professional. Clients see you as responsive and dedicated, which leads to longer contracts, better rates, and more referrals.
Set your work hours once, and automatically appear offline outside those times across all workspaces. No more late-night pings from clients expecting immediate responses.
Clients in New York, London, and Singapore? Set workspace-specific schedules that match each client's time zone expectations automatically.
Unlike other tools, Slackactivity doesn't charge per workspace or user. Connect 3, 5, 10+ workspaces - all free, forever. No hidden fees, no upgrade requirements.
Stop tracking which workspace you need to be active in. Stop worrying about appearing away. The mental relief alone is worth it - focus on actual work, not workspace management.
How It Works: Setup in Under 5 Minutes
Create Your Free Account
Sign up at Slackactivity.com - no credit card required. Click "Get Started - Free Forever" and you'll be up and running in 30 seconds.
Connect All Your Client Workspaces
Use the "Add Workspace" button to connect each client workspace via secure OAuth. You'll authorize Slackactivity to manage your presence - it takes 10 seconds per workspace.
Security Note: Slackactivity only requests permission to manage your status. We can't read your messages, access files, or see workspace content. Your client data stays completely private.
Set Your Availability Schedule
Choose between global schedule (same hours for all clients) or per-workspace schedules (different hours for different time zones). Most freelancers start with a global schedule.
Example Global Schedule: Monday-Friday, 9 AM - 6 PM (your time zone)
Example Per-Workspace: Client A (EST): 9 AM - 5 PM EST, Client B (PST): 10 AM - 6 PM PST
Enable Automation and Relax
Flip the automation switch to "On" for each workspace. That's it! You'll now appear active across all connected workspaces during your scheduled hours, automatically.
✓ You're Done! Slackactivity runs in the background 24/7. You never have to manually update your status again. Manage everything from your dashboard.
Common Concerns from Freelancers
"Will clients know I'm using a tool?"
No. Slackactivity works exactly like you being naturally active on Slack. There's no indication to clients that you're using automation. Your status just shows as "Active" like normal.
"Is it really free for multiple workspaces?"
Yes! Unlike most tools that charge per workspace or have workspace limits, Slackactivity is free forever with unlimited workspaces. We built this specifically for freelancers who need multi-workspace support without breaking the bank.
"What if I want to appear away for one client but active for others?"
You have full control. You can enable/disable automation for specific workspaces, set different schedules, or pause automation temporarily for individual clients while keeping others running.
"Can I still set custom status messages?"
Absolutely. Set custom statuses like "In a client call" or "Deep work mode" and Slackactivity will keep your presence active while respecting your custom message.
"What about data privacy and security?"
We take security seriously. Slackactivity only requests permission to manage your presence status. We cannot read messages, access files, or see any client data. Your conversations and work remain 100% private. We're OAuth-authenticated and follow Slack's security best practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many workspaces can I connect on the free plan?
Unlimited! Connect as many client workspaces as you need. We don't impose workspace limits because we built this tool specifically for freelancers and consultants who need multi-workspace support.
Can I set different schedules for different client workspaces?
Yes. You can configure workspace-specific schedules if your clients are in different time zones or have different availability expectations. Or use a global schedule if you want the same hours across all clients.
What happens if a client removes me from their workspace?
If you're removed from a workspace, Slackactivity automatically detects this and stops managing that workspace. You can reconnect it anytime if you regain access, or simply remove it from your dashboard.
Will this work with Slack Connect channels?
Yes! If you're in Slack Connect channels with clients (rather than full workspace access), Slackactivity still keeps you active. The automation works across all Slack workspace types.
Can I temporarily pause automation for one client but keep others running?
Absolutely. Each workspace has its own toggle switch. You can enable/disable automation per workspace without affecting the others. Great for when you're between projects with one client but active with others.
