Features
Eight tools. One student. One context.
Each part of Slate would be worth using alone. The reason to have them together is that they read each other’s work.
Every course and lesson is free. Free is the trial.
The whole surface

Cell Membranes and Transport
Why water moves the way it does
Water does not move toward "more solute" because it is drawn to sugar. It moves because a membrane lets water through while holding solute back, and the two sides settle their water potential.
Water potential has two parts:
- Solute potential falls as solute is added. Pure water sits at 0; every dissolved particle pushes it negative.
- Pressure potential rises when something pushes back, which is exactly what a plant cell wall does.
Water always travels from higher water potential to lower water potential.
A potato core in salt water shrinks. A potato core in distilled water stiffens. Same tissue, opposite gradient.
That single rule covers every tonicity question you will see on the exam. Read the outside solution, compare it to the inside of the cell, and follow the water.

One context
The parts hand work to each other
Nobody is moved by the phrase “all-in-one”. These are the four specific handoffs that only happen because it is one app.
StudyPlan
A card you keep missing changes what your study block on Thursday is about, without you moving anything.
LearnStudy
A lesson check and a flashcard move the same mastery score, because they are tagged to the same curriculum skill.
NotesStudy
A note becomes a deck in one action, and that deck enters the same spaced repetition as everything else.
EverythingAssistant
The tutor reads your decks, notes, lessons, mastery, and calendar before it answers. That is the whole difference.
Across the whole app
The parts that belong to no single pillar
How it behaves on a bad connection, in a classroom, and with data that belongs to someone who is probably under eighteen.
Works where you are
- Offline studying
- Decks are cached on the device, and anything you change while offline queues up and syncs when you resurface.
- Installs as an app
- Slate installs on desktop and phone from the browser, with a native iOS build in progress.
- Push notifications
- Reminders built from your real review queue and your real schedule, not a generic daily nudge.
- Light and dark
- Both themes are designed, not inverted. The one you study in at midnight got the same attention.
School and class
- Class Hub
- Upcoming assignments, the class decks, materials, your course progress, your grades, and the class stream, on one page.
- Arena in the classroom
- A teacher hosts, a projector shows the presenter view, and students join with a code and a name.
- Notes worth passing on
- Share a note with named classmates, with a link that can expire, or publish it with a password on the front.
- Slate for schools
- Schools can offer Slate the way they provide a productivity suite, with a DPA and FERPA alignment.
Yours, and safe
- Your work is not training data
- What you study, write, and ask is not used to train models.
- Export and delete
- Take your notes, decks, and plan with you, or delete the account outright. Both are self-service.
- Built for under-18s
- Age gating, moderation, and blocking are in the product because most of the people using it are minors.
- Accessibility
- WCAG 2.2 AA is the target, keyboard paths are real, and reduced motion is respected everywhere.
- lessons across AP, core subjects, and languages
- 1,000+lessons across AP, core subjects, and languages
- courses, from Algebra II to Mandarin
- 42courses, from Algebra II to Mandarin
- languages on real CEFR levels, A1 to B2
- 4languages on real CEFR levels, A1 to B2
These are the apps most students run at once. Slate does their jobs together, so nothing has to be carried by hand from one to the next.
