Everything Slaet can do

A short tour of every feature, and how to use it. We update this page each time we ship something new — so it doubles as your what's-new feed.

Last updated June 2026

01Getting started

Getting started

Slaet lives in your browser's new tab. Once it's installed, every new tab becomes a workspace — your tasks on one side, a space to write on the other. There's nothing to configure and no account required to begin.

Add Slaet to Chrome, or open the web app, then open a new tab and start typing. That's the whole setup.

Tip

Slaet works offline by default. You only need to sign in when you want to sync across browsers and devices.

02Tasks

Tasks with context

Add a task the second it occurs to you. But a title is rarely the whole story — so every task has room for context underneath: the reason behind it, a link, the decision you'll have forgotten by Friday.

Open a task and write whatever you'd want to know when you come back. The context stays attached to the task, no matter which day you return to it.

03Notes

Free-form notes

Not everything is a task. The notes space is yours to think out loud — capture an idea, paste a snippet, draft a message, work something through. It's always one tab away, with no file to create and no folder to choose.

04Formatting

Rich text formatting

Your notes aren't plain text. Format as you write — headings, bold, lists, quotes, and code — so longer notes stay readable instead of turning into a wall of text. Use the toolbar, or type markdown-style shortcuts and Slaet formats as you go.

05RemindersNew

Reminders

Don't just write a task down — tell Slaet when to bring it back. Set a reminder on any task and it resurfaces at the right time, instead of getting quietly buried under everything else.

Open a task, set a date and time, and you're done. The task stays where it is until the moment it matters.

Natural-language dates

You don't need to hunt for a date picker. Type the way you'd say it — “call the bank tomorrow at 3pm” or “send the report Friday” — and Slaet reads the time right out of your sentence, then offers to set the reminder as you type.

Tip

It understands relative dates too — “in 20 minutes”, “next Monday”, “tonight”.

07NotificationsNew

Notifications

When a reminder is due, Slaet tells you — both inside the app and on your desktop. Allow notifications once and your reminders reach you even when Slaet isn't the tab you're looking at.

Tip

If desktop alerts don't appear, check that notifications are enabled for your browser in your system settings.

08SharingNew

Share a task

Need a second pair of eyes on something? Share any task as a link. Whoever you send it to opens a clean, read-only view of the task and its context — no account, no install, nothing to sign up for.

Generate the link from the task, send it however you like, and they see exactly what you see.

09Sync

Sync across browsers

Sign in and your tasks and notes follow you — Chrome, Brave, Edge, and every device you work on. Start on your laptop, pick it up on your desktop; the workspace is the same everywhere.

Until you sign in, everything stays local to your browser. Sync is there when you want it, not forced on you.
