Slate is a dead simple macOS markdown editor that turns your messy notes into a living, agent-navigable knowledge base, automatically maintained by AI. Write in plain markdown. Your files stay on your machine, always. No account, no cloud, no lock-in. Slate AI (coming soon) reads your entire files system and answers questions grounded in your own writing.
Notion became a project management suite. Obsidian became a plugin ecosystem. Every note app kept adding features until the simple act of writing something down felt like navigating software.
I didn't want a workspace. I didn't want a second brain platform. I wanted a stripped-down, minimal app one that opens instantly, gets out of the way, and lets me think in markdown without a single distraction.
So I built Slate. Not by adding things. By refusing to.
No cloud sync you didn't ask for. No sidebar full of features you'll never use. No onboarding flow. Just a native Mac app, your local files, and a clean page. That's it. That's the whole product.
