Desktop#
Linux
Make the AppImage executable and open it: there is nothing to install. On Debian 12, get the .deb (13.5 MB) or use apt, below.
macOS
Open the disk image and drag Slate to Applications. To update, quit Slate and do the same with the newer image.
Or install with apt
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://dl.slateoutliner.com/apt/slate.gpg | sudo install -m 0644 /dev/stdin /etc/apt/keyrings/slate.gpg
curl -fsSL https://dl.slateoutliner.com/apt/slate.sources | sudo install -m 0644 /dev/stdin /etc/apt/sources.list.d/slate.sources
sudo apt update && sudo apt install slateUpdates then arrive with the rest of your system's.
Browser extension
Clip a selection from a web page into today's journal with the Firefox extension, then connect it under Browser clipper in Slate's settings.
iPhone#
The iPhone app runs through TestFlight. It is part of the closed beta, by invitation, so there is no link here yet.
Sync#
Hosted sync runs on Slate's own relay. It is a closed beta, by invitation.
Self-hosted sync, on a relay you run yourself, comes after the closed beta.
