Reinstalling Slate now brings your transcripts and reflections back from your iCloud on their own, and the waiting screen ends instead of spinning. Improved recording screen. Improved icon.

Lifetime is now buyable if you already subscribe. It is in Settings, under Subscription. A purchase takes effect the moment it goes through. Before, it could leave you looking at the plans again as though nothing had happened. Settings names the plan you are on rather than just saying you are subscribed. Reinstalling Slate brings your transcripts and reflections back from your iCloud on its own, if backup was on. Your recordings only ever exist on the phone that made them, so those do not come back.

Reflections are rewritten. They now say back what you actually said, tied to the sentence they came from, instead of guessing at what you meant. They no longer tell you the opposite of what you said, and they no longer read as blame. The Sunday review no longer walks through your week day by day, and it can no longer hang forever. If it does fail, it says so and offers to try again. Fixes: a subscription that would not restore and kept showing the purchase screen, which now recovers on its own. The iCloud backup setting now says plainly that it backs up transcripts and reflections, and that your recordings are never backed up. Sheets you open from a notification now have a close button.

Pay once if you prefer. A lifetime option joins the plans, one payment, yours forever. Record with AirPods or wired headphones. Export your journal from Settings, every word, as Markdown or JSON. A single entry exports from its own page. Reflections read long entries more carefully and stay closer to your words. Every entry now has a Copy button for its transcript. Fixes: a crash when rerunning a reflection with added context, entries that showed reflecting forever on iPhones without Apple Intelligence, and clearer messages when transcription fails, including which languages are supported. Failed entries now keep your recording when a retry can recover it.

Your recording now lives on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Start a session, pocket the phone, and the timer stays with you. Lock Screen widgets start a session with one tap. Also fixed: onboarding could hide the Continue button at larger text sizes.
