Your week on one screen. Not a to-do list, not a calendar, something better. TWO SPACES, ONE CLEAR HEAD The Backlog catches every rough idea, the ones that are nowhere near ready to schedule. The Week holds only what you have chosen to do. Emptying your head into one, then carving the other, is the whole ritual. ADD TASKS FROM WHATSAPP Text Slate like a friend. "Tomorrow: pick up the cake and call the caterer" lands on Wednesday, already split into two tasks, before you have put your phone away. AI TURNS NOTES INTO TASKS Paste the mess from a meeting, half sentences and arrows and all, and Slate carves it into clean tasks on the right days. TURN EMAILS INTO TASKS Forward a client's ask, a thread, a page of meeting notes. Slate reads it, breaks it into separate tasks, and plans them across your week. PHOTOS BECOME TASKS Snap the whiteboard at the end of a workshop and send it over. You get a task with real sub-tasks, not a photo you will never open again. JUST TALK, SLATE ORGANIZES Ramble through your week out loud. Every task ends up on its own day, written down. SYNCS ON EVERY DEVICE Phone, laptop, any browser, in real time. Works offline on planes and in tunnels, and catches up when you reconnect. EVERYTHING A TASK MIGHT NEED Due dates with reminders that reach your inbox. Repeating tasks for what comes back every week. Notes, sub-checklists and images living inside the task they belong to. AND MUCH MORE An AI-picked emoji for every task. Light and dark themes over hundreds of wallpapers. Daily backups. Streaks that keep you honest. A hidden mini game that rewards good habits. Slate works the moment you open it, with no account. Slate Pro adds real-time sync across your devices. Made for people who plan their week on Sunday evening and want to think clearly, not manage software. Slate Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.
