Questions, bugs, or ideas — email saifsiddiqui2409@gmail.com and I'll reply.

Getting started

• Add a task from the window, or press ⌥⌘K from anywhere.
• Dates can be typed: “pay rent friday 5pm”, “tomorrow”, “every weekday”. Use #work to file it in a list.
• Hover a task for its due-date and ⋯ menus. Double-click a title to rename it.

My wallpaper didn't change

• Other desktops (Spaces) update the first time you switch to them. That's a macOS limitation, not a bug.
• Choose Refresh Wallpaper from the menu-bar ⋯ menu to force it.
• Full-screen apps cover the desktop, so you won't see it until you leave them.

Getting your old wallpaper back

Slate saves whatever you had before it first ran. Menu-bar icon → ⋯ → Restore Previous Wallpaper. That works whether or not Slate is still installed.

Apple Reminders sync

• Turn it on in Settings → Reminders. macOS will ask permission first.
• Ticking a reminder off in Slate completes it in Reminders, so it syncs to your other devices. Creating, renaming and deleting stay in the Reminders app.
• Subtasks and complex repeats (“every 2nd Tuesday”) aren't available through Apple's Reminders API, so they don't come through. Everything else does.
• If permission was declined, grant it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Reminders.

Purchases

• The unlock is a one-time purchase — there's no subscription.
• New Mac, or reinstalled? Settings → Unlock → Restore Purchase.
• If the price doesn't appear, Slate can't reach the App Store. It'll work once it can.
• Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Where your data lives

Your tasks are a single file inside Slate's own folder on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded. See the privacy policy.
