FreeSlate
The designer's toolkit

Checklists that remember what you'd forget.

Every project has a hundred small things that are easy to miss on the day. FreeSlate includes eight interactive checklists and four glossaries, so the favicon, the bleed and the privacy policy never slip through.

Kept current

Written for the rules as they are now.

Standards and store rules change every year. The toolkit is reviewed and updated, and new items are added at the end of each section so your ticks stay where you left them.

Accessibility

WCAG 2.2 AA, the European Accessibility Act and EN 301 549.

App stores

Current App Store and Google Play requirements, privacy labels and account deletion rules.

Privacy and AI

Consent, privacy notices and the labelling rules for AI-generated content.

Spend your time on the design, not the admin.
