On Heroku, every second costs. When your staging and review apps run 24/7, you’re racking up costs month after month. But chances are, you don’t need every app all the time. AutoIdle automatically turns off unnecessary apps to save you money.

Hey everyone, I'm incredibly excited to be here on Product Hunt. About 1.5 years ago, my boss complained about our large Heroku bill and asked me to find a way to save money. I noticed that our staging apps were running all the time, even when we didn’t need them. To solve the problem, I developed AutoIdle – an effective add-on that puts them to sleep. This simple solution has already saved over 200 businesses worldwide over $350,000. Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm using AutoIdle since the beginning and I love that it is really a set and forget application. It is saving quite some money each month on our Staging environment. Great product!

This sounds cool but help me out - I have my staging app on free dynos so that it goes to sleep by itself. Why wouldn’t I just keep doing that?

@mickc79 you are right on free dynos it does not make sense. This add-on is for customers paying for their staging apps on Heroku or using Heroku Review Apps.

I use AutoIdle for my KnapsackPro staging apps and in a project, for the company, I worked for. AutoIdle is great. I love it.

Been using for a while now with our Heroku Review Apps and Staging apps. It is easy to use, works great and saves money :). What is not to love! (ps funny to see voting close until Oct 28, even though it is 10:40am on Oct 28th in Asia already) :)

Been using AutoIdle for staging apps for a while and it's saved me a lot of $$$. Super easy to set up even with custom domains.
