The Hour Slate

The Hour Slate is a daily planning tool built around a visual hourly timeline. Instead of typing out to-do lists, you lay out your day as time blocks directly on a schedule — moving them, resizing them, and arranging them until the day makes sense.

Each block occupies a real span of time, so you see at a glance how much of your day is spoken for and where gaps remain. Creating a new block takes a few taps: pick a start time, set a duration, give it a name. From there you can drag it earlier or later, stretch it longer, or shrink it down.

Everything stays on your device. No account required, no sync, no server. Open the app, plan your day, close it. Your schedule is there when you come back.

The interface keeps out of the way. A clean hourly grid, readable labels, and touch targets sized for quick edits. Time format switches between 12-hour and 24-hour in settings. You can choose which tab opens by default so the app drops you straight into your workflow.

Works offline entirely. No ads, no purchases, no permissions beyond what the scheduler needs to function.
