Slate is a focus tool with a physical switch. Slate is a steel card that locks your most distracting apps with one tap. Tap your card to your phone and the apps you picked are gone, no willpower needed. When you want them back, grab your card. Apps that only live on your phone are easy to snooze, skip or delete. Slate puts the off switch somewhere real. HOW IT WORKS Choose the apps that pull you in: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, whatever it is for you Tap your phone to your Slate card to lock them Tap again to unlock them Leave the card in another room, your bag or your desk drawer, and give yourself some space WHY A CARD? Your phone is designed to keep you scrolling. A bit of real-world friction, like getting up and finding the card, is often all it takes to stop the doomscroll and get back to your day. Use it for focused work, studying, dinners, mornings without your phone, or just a quieter evening. NO SUBSCRIPTION You buy Slate once. No monthly fees and no premium tier. The card is brushed stainless steel, made to last. GET YOUR CARD Slate works with the Slate card, available at tapslate.co. Less screen time. More of everything else.
