Your data. On your phone. Nowhere else. Slate is a tasks and notes app for people who are tired of subscription fatigue, cloud lock-in, and apps that quietly train AI on their writing. There's no account to create. No server it talks to. No telemetry. Everything you capture lives in an encrypted database on your device. WHAT'S INSIDE • Tasks with due dates, priorities, tags, recurring rules, and subtasks • Markdown notes with image attachments and a calm editor • A quick-add bar that understands natural language — try "Email Sarah tomorrow 3pm #work" • A Today view that surfaces what's overdue, what's due now, and what's next • Full-text search across everything you've written • Reminders that fire even when the app is closed • A home-screen widget for today's tasks at a glance • Optional Face ID lock so your slate stays private WHAT'S NOT INSIDE • No account. Not even an email address. • No cloud. Not ours, not anybody's. • No analytics. No crash reporting that phones home. No "anonymous" tracking. • No AI training on your writing. We can't read it — and neither can anyone else. • No ads. No subscription. No in-app currency. YOUR DATA, YOUR FILE Slate stores everything in a single SQLCipher-encrypted SQLite file inside the app sandbox. The encryption key lives in your device's Keychain — nowhere else. You can export the whole database as a single .slate file and save it to iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or any folder you own. Restore it on a new device, or never. It's yours. DESIGNED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY Slate is built around restraint. Three tabs. One quiet typeface. No notifications you didn't ask for. No motivational quotes. No streaks to break. The goal is to give you a place to think — not another app shouting for attention. SUPPORT Questions or feedback? Email us. That's the whole support channel — no forms, no chatbots, no help center labyrinths.
