Speak your mind. Slate notices what you didn't. Nothing leaves the phone. Slate is a private voice journal with on-device reflection. Press record and say what's on your mind. The transcript is made on your phone. So is the reflection: what it was about, how it sat, and one observation worth keeping. Never advice, never a chat. On Sunday the week comes back to you. What repeated, what shifted, in your own words. All on device. It never leaves the phone. There is no server, no account, no analytics, no network calls. The privacy label reads "Data Not Collected" because there is nothing to collect. Turn on airplane mode; everything still works. It always will. If you want a backup, optional encrypted iCloud backup is there in Settings. Off until you say so, private to your own account either way. No streaks. No scores. No chatbot. A private place to think. Slate is a subscription: $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year, after a one month free trial.

I wish you can download a local ai model like gemma 3. **Developer response:** That makes sense. Reflections run on Apple Intelligence, which Apple supports on iPhone 15 Pro and newer, and there is nothing we can do to change that. On older iPhones, recording, transcripts, and playback all work fully. ### 5/5 — Beautiful, private *2026-07-23* The app is visually so simple and beautiful, but there is so much thought and care that clearly went into this. I finally feel safe during my deepest thoughts, knowing everything will stay on my device. Slate is like having a therapist with your best interests in your pocket. **Developer response:** Thank you. ### 2/5 — Why you don’t support Hebrew *2026-07-22* It’s so simple today with AI to support every language, why is the languages list so limited **Developer response:** Supporting every language is easy when audio goes to a server, and Slate does not have one. Every word is transcribed by Apple's on-device models, so the list is what those models cover today, and Hebrew is not in it yet. When Apple adds it, Slate gets it, with nothing sent anywhere. Until then we would rather be limited than move your voice off your phone. ### 5/5 — Minimal *2026-07-22* very simple. I like the weekly reports **Developer response:** Thank you. The weekly review has had the most work of anything since you wrote this. It should read better the longer you use Slate.
