About Slate - Budget & Track Money
Try Slate free for 30 days, then pay once and own it. No subscription, no bank linking, no ads — just a fast, private budgeting app built natively for iPhone and Mac. Most budgeting apps want a monthly fee and your bank password. Slate wants neither. Your data stays in your own iCloud account, and one purchase gets you every feature and every future update. MINDFUL, NOT AUTOMATIC Bank-linking apps guess. Slate doesn't. You enter each transaction yourself, and that small habit is what makes you actually notice your spending instead of glancing at a dashboard. On Mac, entry is fast: type right in the ledger, Tab from cell to cell, and let smart autocomplete fill in payees and categories. BUDGETS THAT MAKE SENSE Set a monthly amount for groceries, dining, utilities, anything. Slate shows what's left in every category all month long, so there are no surprises at the end. ONE TRANSACTION, MANY CATEGORIES A Costco run isn't just groceries. Split a transaction across every category it touches and your budgets stay accurate to the dollar. SEE THE FULL PICTURE Category, payee, and cash-flow reports turn months of transactions into patterns you can act on. On Mac, filter any report and export it to CSV. NEVER MISS A BILL Schedule recurring rent, subscriptions, and paychecks — weekly, biweekly, monthly, or whatever fits — and see what's coming up next. RECONCILE ON YOUR TERMS (MAC) Import your bank's statement file and check it against your ledger whenever you like. Slate matches transactions and flags anything missing. No bank connection, no middleman. EVERY ACCOUNT, ONE APP Checking, savings, credit cards, and cash. Track them all and move money between accounts in seconds. SEPARATE BOOKS Keep personal and business finances apart with Folios, and switch between them instantly. BUILT FOR MULTIPLE USERS Share folios with others and manage money together, with everyone seeing the same up-to-date picture. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Slate collects no data. Everything lives in your iCloud account and syncs across your Apple devices — never on our servers, never shared. Back up and restore anytime, and export your full history to CSV on Mac. TRULY NATIVE Designed from scratch for iPhone and Mac, not a stretched-out phone app pretending to be a desktop one. PAY ONCE. OWN IT. 30 days free, then a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever.
What’s new
Version v3.1 · Updated October 23, 2026
Splits, simplified - The split editor has a new Fill Remaining button. One tap puts whatever is left into the last empty amount, next to Add Split and Equalize. - The split controls are now three easy-to-tap buttons, and the balance shows beside the Category heading so nothing is squeezed. Reports - The Reports tabs now have clearer names: Budget, Categories, Payees and Cash Flow. Fixes - Starting Balance entries no longer count as spending in your budget remaining, so the Dashboard, the budget screens and the post-entry message show the same remainder as Reports. - Starting Balance entries no longer appear in category ledgers.
