A thought.
A sentence.
It’s on your slate.

No form to wrestle with. Type a title and a date, check the preview, and press Enter. No date yet? Your idea waits in the backlog.

English and everyday words like sutra and petak work too.

Releases move. Stay in the loop.

Look up games, films, and shows. Refresh linked release dates and see what changed. Pin your own date when your plan matters more than release day.

A nudge when it matters.

A morning list and reminders before timed plans. Slate stays in the Windows tray when you close the window, ready for the next thing.

Remember the good ones.

Mark it done, leave a rating, write a small verdict. Your calendar becomes a record of what you actually made time for.

A personal calendar
should feel personal.

Your working calendar stays on your computer, with automatic local backups and JSON export. Manual planning works offline.

A few things to know.

Do I need an account or API keys?

No account or keys are needed for manual entries, notes, the backlog, ratings, or local backups. Optional TMDB and IGDB credentials add release lookup. Steam game search can work without a key. You configure these in Preferences.

Does Slate sync with Google Calendar?

Yes, on Windows, with your own Desktop OAuth client. It is one-way sync from Slate to your chosen calendar. Dated titles, entry notes, links, kind, and done status are copied; journal notes, ratings, verdicts, and the backlog stay local. Follow the connection guide.

Will reminders work after I close the window?

Closing the window leaves Slate running in the Windows tray. Reminders and sync can continue there. Choosing Quit from the tray stops them. Windows notification settings and sleep can also affect reminders.

How do I keep Slate updated?

Version 0.1.1 and newer check for updates automatically. Open Preferences to check manually, read what’s new, and choose Install and restart. Slate verifies the download and backs up your calendar before installing. If you have 0.1.0, install the latest version once to enable updates.

What if Windows says the publisher is unknown?

The installer has no Windows publisher certificate. Download only from this project's GitHub Releases page and compare the supplied SHA-256 checksum if needed. Update signatures verify future downloads inside Slate. The installer supports Windows 10/11 on x64 computers.

Can I use this website as my calendar?

This is the product website. Install the Windows app for daily use, or run the source locally for browser development. There is no hosted calendar or mobile app here.

Can I inspect or build the source?

Yes, the source and build instructions are on GitHub. It uses React, TypeScript, and Tauri. No open-source license has been granted for redistribution or reuse of Slate's own source. Read the developer guide.

Something to look forward to.

Give it a place on your slate.
