Capture by voice
Hold the mic and talk. Slate drafts the task — title, project, assignee, due date — and shows it to you first. Nothing is saved until you confirm.
Voice-first work for small teams
Say it. Do it.
Wipe the slate clean.
Say what needs doing. Slate turns it into a task, books it on your Google Calendar, and clears it when it is done — a deck that empties, not a backlog that grows.

How it works
Give it a slot
Pick a task, choose how long it needs, and Slate books the next free time on your Google Calendar — around your existing meetings.
Finish, and clear it
Mark it done and it leaves the deck. When today is empty, the app says so — which is the point of a slate.
The rule everything follows
Whatever you put off, you must not be able to forget.
Most tools let you say now and never mind, but not later — so “later” becomes a list nobody opens. In Slate nothing can be postponed without a date, nothing can be pushed past its own deadline, and work that comes back lands on top of your deck rather than quietly rejoining the queue.
What you get
Talk, don’t type
Hold the mic and say it. Slate drafts the task — title, project, assignee, due date — and shows it to you before anything is saved.
Real time, not a wish list
Picking a task books an actual slot on your Google Calendar, around the meetings already there. A task with no time is just a hope.
Not now, without “never”
Push a task to tomorrow, next week, a date you choose. It leaves your deck and comes back on top when it is due — nothing can be deferred without a date.
Put it away, don’t lose it
Decided against something? Archive it. It leaves every list and its calendar time is cancelled, but it is still there when someone asks why.
See the team’s actual day
Open a colleague’s calendar and see what they are working on and when — real titles, not a grey “Busy”. Read-only, always.
Ask out loud
Find, book, or finish a task by voice. When the request is ambiguous, Slate asks which one you meant instead of guessing.
Told once, properly
Push and email when something is handed to you, mentioned near you, or overdue. Returning work arrives as one summary a day, never a drip.
On time, not just busy
The only measure is whether work landed by the date it was due. No timers, no hours logged, nothing to game.
Being built next
- Book meetings with guests and a Meet link, without leaving the app
- Postpone and archive by voice, not just by hand
- “Do this next” — one task jumps your queue without shouting at everyone else’s
- Project start dates mirrored to your calendar, so a kickoff survives outside the app
Built on your Google account
Google sign-in is the only login. With your consent, Slate reads the events on your primary calendar — when you are busy, and each event’s title, guests, location and meeting link — so it can find you free time and show a meeting properly instead of a grey block. It writes only the events it creates for you: events Slate did not create are never edited or deleted, and it never responds to invitations on your behalf. Disconnect anytime from your Google account settings. Details in our Privacy Policy.
