Slate
NewPlaybooks you can run, and AI agents that read your workspace

Write it down. Organize it. Run it.

The private workspace where your notes, your databases and the way you get things done live together — with checklists that walk you through, and remember every run.

Your work is scattered across four tools. Slate puts it in one.

  • Notes in one app
  • Spreadsheets in another
  • Checklists on sticky notes
  • “How do we do this again?”

Write & organize

Notes, databases, checklists. One calm workspace.

A clean editor for your thinking, databases for everything that needs structure, and search that finds it all.

Pages that stay out of your way

A clean editor that formats as you type. Headings, to-dos, tables, code and callouts are a / away — or flip to Markdown and write the source.

Databases with views

Table, board and list. Status, dates, money, relations and formulas — and every record opens as a page.

Checklists you can run

Go step by step, branch on answers, and see every run in a history you can search and resume.

Find anything with ⌘K

Every title and every line you’ve written, a keystroke away.

Private by default

Your workspace is yours alone. Secrets in playbooks stay out of run history and links.

Markdown in and out

Paste Markdown in, copy it out, export any page as a file. Databases export to CSV.

Playbooks

The checklist that remembers.

The steps you repeat — the rent check, the move-in, the release, the refund — shouldn’t live in your head. Write them once. Run them every time.

  • Start as a simple list. Three steps and Run. Turn any to-do list into one with a click.
  • Grow it when you need to. Ask questions, branch on the answers, check results, jump to a “roll back” section.
  • Call other apps. Post to a webhook, look up an order, create a task — with secrets kept safe.
  • Every run is remembered. Inputs, answers, results and who stopped where. Pause and pick up later.

AI agents

Give your AI the context it’s missing.

Agents make things up when they can’t see your work. Connect Claude — or any MCP-compatible agent — and it reads your pages, databases and playbooks instead of guessing.

  • One key per agent. Revoke any of them, any time.
  • Read-only. Agents can search and read — they can’t change a thing.
  • Works with any MCP client. Claude, Claude Code, or your own.

Made for

People with work worth doing right.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Still curious? Create a workspace and look around — it takes a minute.

What makes Slate different from a notes app?

Your notes, your databases and your procedures live in one place — and procedures aren’t just written down, they run. A playbook walks you (or a teammate) through each step, branches on your answers, can call other apps, and keeps a record of every run.

What is a playbook, exactly?

A checklist you can run. Start with a plain list of steps. When you need more, add questions, decisions (“if more than 30 days, offer store credit”), checks with expected results, and calls to other apps. Every run is saved, and a paused run can be picked up later.

How do AI agents use my workspace?

Create an agent key in Settings and connect any MCP-compatible agent, such as Claude. It can search, read pages, query databases and look up playbooks — read-only. Each agent has its own key, which you can revoke at any time.

Who can see my pages?

Only you. Slate is private by default. Agents only see what you give them a key for, and API tokens in playbooks are kept out of run history and links.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. Every page has a Markdown view you can copy, and you can export any page as a Markdown file. Databases export to CSV.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Slate runs in any modern browser, on desktop or phone, in light or dark mode.

how things get done.

Write it down once. Run it every time. Let your agents read it too.
