ZenSlate is a calm note space for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Capture quick thoughts, draft ideas, manage checklists, and keep writing in sync through iCloud - with a quiet interface so your slate stays center stage.
On Mac, open instantly from the menu bar or with ⌘⌥⇧Space. On iPhone and iPad, start writing in one tap - or from a Home Screen widget.
