About this app

Slate turns a phone into a calm, single-purpose learning device for a child aged 4 or older, and nothing else.

No internet to wander into. No profiles. No infinite scroll. No ads. When you hand the phone over, your child sees one quiet place to learn and can't get anywhere else until you unlock it.

What's inside
• Read-along stories: every word is narrated aloud, so a child who can't read yet can follow along and tap any word to hear it.
• A growing library of calm, illustrated classics: the same stories told in editions for ages 4–7, 7–10 and 10+, with new titles added regularly.
• Earned play: a calm little game your child unlocks with reading time. You set how much.

Built for parents
• Locked in: a child stays in Slate until you end the session with your phone's own lock, whether fingerprint, face or passcode.
• You set the daily limit and how much game time is earned.
• Big, tap-only targets and a quiet, paper-like screen: no flashing, no autoplay video, no dark patterns.

Private by design
We collect nothing about your child. No child profiles, no progress files, no behavioural data. None of it exists. It can't be tracked because it isn't collected.

A small, deliberate alternative to the algorithmic feed.

What’s new

Stories now live on the phone. Slate downloads your child's books over Wi-Fi, so reading works with no internet at all. The reader is redrawn for every age: swipe or tap the page edges to turn, and see how far along a story is at a glance. The parent code is gone. You now leave Slate Time with your phone's own lock. Sign-in, the parent space and plans are redrawn too, with your plan and renewal date in the app. Same promise: no internet, no profiles, no tracking.
