User reviews

Great app design and slick interface

The app is very intuitive to get all set up very quickly. I like the idea with the metal card to activate and deactivate which is way less blocky than other apps I’ve used. Highly recommend for those trying to stay locked in at work

My Saviour!!

Rather blown away tbh. Have tried all the other app blocking tech and this has been the best by a country mile. Very cool how I can compete with my friends (trying to get more to join the platform rn) to try and get my screen time down. Have only been using for a couple weeks and has made such an impact on my productivity, sleep and energy levels; I CANT WAIT to see what happens after a couple months/years of using Slate.
