Capture a thought in under three seconds — phone locked, hands full, mid-meeting. Slate files it, dates it, and lays your whole life out as a board of sticky notes you can drag around. Keyboard-first, offline-ready, built for people who run more than one world.
“Hey Siri, add to Slate — call the plumber Thursday #home” → filed, dated, done.
The bar isn’t “more capable than a sticky note.” It’s cheaper than one — and it doesn’t get lost.
“Hey Siri, add to Slate…” — or the Action Button, or Back Tap. The thought lands filed and dated before you’ve unlocked anything.
“call the plumber thursday #home !!” becomes a dated, tagged, prioritized task in the right group. No forms. Ever.
Offline capture queues on your device and syncs the moment you’re back. Nothing typed is ever lost — that’s the product’s first law.
Every group is a card. Drag tasks between them, drag cards to rearrange the desk, and flip the whole board between Today, Tomorrow, This week and Next week with one tap.
Work, side projects, family — color-coded cards, one keystroke apart. Private groups are invisible to everyone but you, enforced in the database itself.
Complete, move, snooze, link, delete — a real context menu on every task and card. And it’s keyboard-first: c capture · jk move · x done · > later.
Weekly reports repeat themselves. Type # to link related tasks. Tap a name to see everything waiting on that one person.
With the screen off. If capture has friction, the list dies — so the front door is Siri, not an app icon.
Slate never auto-inserts. Anything suggested arrives in a review queue where you keep, edit, or kill it. Your list stays yours — and stays trusted.
No integrations required. Everything you connect later just makes it smarter. Anything that breaks degrades one thing, never the whole.
