Breathe out a thought. Watch it land on your day.
Slate is a fast, quiet day planner for Windows. Hit a hotkey anywhere, type what's on your mind — it reads the time and drops onto your timeline.
Everything stays on your machine. No cloud, no account, no subscription, no AI running your schedule.
The premium planners all live in someone else's cloud. Slate doesn't.
One fast, private place for your day — built for the people the Mac-only, subscription-only tools left behind.
On your machine
Tasks live in an encrypted database on your PC, fully offline. They never touch a server — because they never leave.
Actually fast
Built in Rust and Flutter, not Electron. A global hotkey and a 120-fps timeline that answers the instant you touch it.
No subscription
A tool you keep, not rent. No $20 a month to look at your own day, no trial clock counting down.
No AI overlord
Nothing rearranges your day behind your back. You place time with your hands; Slate gets out of the way.
Three seconds, no forms.
Capture
Press Alt + Space from anywhere — even over other apps. A quiet pill appears, ready.
Parse
Type gym tomorrow at 6. Slate reads the date and time itself — no fields, no pickers.
Land
It drops onto your day's timeline. Drag to move it, check it off, breathe. Back to work in two seconds.
What Slate is not.
The wedge is focus. A few things it deliberately doesn't do — so you know before you download.
- Not a cloud service. No sync, no account. That's the point.
- Not another AI planner. It won't schedule for you.
- Not on your phone yet. Desktop-first, on purpose.
- Not a 30-app hub. One fast place, not a dispatcher.
Your day, on your machine.
Free while it's in early testing. Two weeks with it, then tell me honestly — worth keeping, or not.
