Slate — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 August 2026

Slate does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. There is no account, no analytics,

no telemetry, no advertising, and no third-party SDK that reports on you.

What Slate stores, and where

Everything stays on your Mac.

• Your tasks, lists, and notes are saved to a single file inside Slate's own application

container. Nothing is uploaded.

• Your settings (template, palette, pattern, font, layout) are stored in macOS user

defaults, on your Mac.

• The wallpaper images Slate generates are written to Slate's own folder and set as your

desktop picture. Older ones are deleted automatically.

Deleting Slate removes the app; you can delete its data folder to remove everything it saved.

Apple Reminders

The Reminders mirror is off by default. If you turn it on, macOS asks your permission first.

When enabled, Slate reads your reminders in order to show them, and writes back exactly two

things when you act on them in Slate: whether a reminder is completed, and its due date. It

never creates, renames, or deletes reminders, and it never copies them off your Mac — your

reminders are read from and written to Apple's own local Reminders database, which syncs through

your iCloud account under Apple's privacy policy, not Slate's.

You can revoke this permission at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Reminders.

Purchases

The one-time unlock is processed by Apple. Slate asks Apple whether a purchase exists and

receives a yes or no. Slate never sees your payment details, and no purchase information is sent

anywhere other than Apple. Apple's handling of that transaction is covered by Apple's privacy

policy.

Network access

Slate makes no network requests of its own. The only network traffic it causes is Apple's own

App Store communication when checking or making a purchase.

Children

Slate is a to-do list and is suitable for all ages. It collects nothing from anyone.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be published here with a new date.
