Slate: Focus

Slate is a focus tool with a physical switch. Tap the Slate Card to your phone and the apps you choose go quiet. Tap it again to come back. Put a blocklist on a schedule and Slate locks those hours on its own: mornings for deep work, evenings off, whatever pulls at you most. No streaks. No scores. Nothing to keep up with. Just a calm way to put your phone down. What you get Blocklists. Named sets of apps to silence, as many as you like. Schedules. Pick the days and hours. Slate starts and ends on its own, even when the app is closed. Breaks. A short break lifts the block for five minutes and the session picks back up by itself. Emergency unlocks. A few for the days the card is out of reach. Activity. Your real Screen Time, week by week, next to the hours Slate was on. Watch one go down while the other goes up. The cost. Onboarding shows what your daily hours add up to over a lifetime, in days. Blocking runs entirely on Apple's Screen Time. Slate never sees which apps you pick and the list never leaves your phone. No tracking, no ads, no data sold. Slate works without an account. Sign in with Apple or Google only if you want your blocklists, schedules and unlocks waiting on your next phone. Slate is built around the Slate Card, sold separately at tapslate.co. Requires iOS 16 or later.
