Save money on Heroku by automatically putting your staging and review apps to sleep when you don’t need them

AutoIdle automatically puts your staging and review apps to sleep when you don't need them. When an app is inactive for 30 minutes, AutoIdle puts it to sleep. Without you lifting a finger.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
