Auto Logout Reminder

WHAT IT DOES

Auto Logout Reminder tracks user activity (mouse movements, clicks, keyboard input) and displays a visual reminder when you have been inactive for a configurable time, suggesting you log out or lock your session to prevent unauthorized access. The tool helps protect your accounts on shared or public computers by encouraging regular logout practices and providing clear warnings when your session has been idle.

WHERE IT RUNS

This tool works on any webpage, including login-protected sites, web applications, and any page where session security matters. It tracks activity across the entire page and works independently of the site's own session management. It runs on all websites as designated in its match patterns.

HOW TO USE

After installing the BotGentz extension, the tool starts tracking your activity immediately. Configure your settings in the panel: set the inactivity timeout in minutes (default 10), reminder interval in minutes, choose the auto-logout action (Notify only or Notify + redirect to /logout), and toggle the countdown timer display and sound alerts. When you become inactive for the configured timeout period, a visual reminder appears on the screen with a warning message, and you receive a desktop notification. The reminder repeats at the configured interval until you dismiss it or reset the timer by interacting with the page. Use the "Reset Timer" button to manually restart the inactivity countdown, or "Dismiss Reminder" to clear the warning and reset the timer.

TECHNICAL SECTION — ACTIVITY TRACKING AND TIMER MANAGEMENT

The tool uses a multi-event listener approach to track user activity, monitoring mousemove, mousedown, keydown, scroll, and click events. Each activity event resets the inactivity timer, which is managed using setTimeout for the main timeout and setInterval for the countdown display. When the inactivity timeout is reached, the tool triggers a visual overlay, desktop notification, and optional sound alert. The reminder system uses a separate interval timer to repeat notifications at configured intervals until the user acknowledges them. The tool stores settings in GM_setValue for persistence across sessions. The auto-logout action can be configured to either notify only or redirect to a logout endpoint, providing flexibility for different security requirements.

THE PANEL

The panel is draggable anywhere on the screen and remembers its position per site. It can snap to the left, right, top, or bottom edges, or float freely. Collapse it to a small status indicator when you need more page visibility, and expand it again with a single click. Resize it vertically or horizontally to see more settings. Press Escape to close the panel instantly. All settings (inactivity timeout, reminder interval, auto-logout action, show countdown, sound alerts) are saved globally and persist across sessions.

PLEASE NOTE

This tool requires the free BotGentz extension. It tracks activity only on the current page and does not monitor other tabs or windows. The tool does not automatically log you out of any service—it only provides reminders and optional redirects. The /logout redirect is a best-effort guess and may not work for all sites. For security-critical applications, always verify your session status manually. Websites change their layouts frequently; scripts may need updates, and we work to keep them current but cannot guarantee uninterrupted operation.
