Overview
StatusDot helps you show whether you’re Open, Busy, Closed, or temporarily Idle — using a simple dot indicator that updates automatically.
Configure a weekly schedule (supports HH:MM), optionally enable Busy mode, or override everything with Force Closed or Open 24/7. You can also start an Idle override (“Back in…”) timer when you’re away.
StatusDot can show status text + a live countdown, for example:

Place it anywhere using the shortcode. Multiple instances per page are supported.
