Set a lesson once. It keeps happening.
Recurring lessons roll forward on their own, a clash gets flagged before it becomes a Thursday-afternoon problem, and travel time between lessons is held automatically — not remembered by you.
Seven days free. Card up front, cancel in two taps.
What the diary actually does.
Set it once. It keeps happening.
A standing lesson — student, subject, rate — becomes the arrangement. It rolls forward on its own for the weeks ahead, regenerating as time passes, and doesn't drop a week when the clocks change in March or October.
A clash gets flagged. It doesn't get blocked.
Book two lessons at the same time and the diary tells you at the moment it happens — a warning, not a wall, because two online lessons back to back is sometimes exactly what you meant. Between two lessons in different places, a travel gap is held automatically and named on the diary in minutes.
Move a lesson without moving the admin.
Drag a lesson to a new time and the parent is told in the same action. A parent can ask to reschedule instead — nothing moves until you say yes. And a half-term, or a week away, is one action: the diary suppresses that stretch rather than asking you to cancel each lesson by hand.
A week in Cornwall, marked away — and the diary picks back up the following Monday with nothing to reconcile.
Your diary, in the calendar you already use.
Subscribe once from your phone's own calendar app and every lesson appears there automatically, kept live as the diary changes. Revoke it in one tap if you ever need to. Connect Google Calendar specifically and the same thing happens without you subscribing to anything — lessons land there on their own.
Everything diary.
Before you set your first lesson.
Does the diary understand my school terms?
Not as a calendar of term dates it already knows. What it does do is let you skip or shift a date range yourself — a half-term, an inset day — in one action, and the diary holds it rather than asking you to touch every affected lesson.
What happens if I double-book myself?
It's flagged as a warning the moment you create it, drag it, or the diary next regenerates — not a hard block, since two online lessons back to back can be entirely reasonable. You decide whether it's really a clash.
If I edit a lesson in Google Calendar, does Slate know?
Lessons you set in Slate appear in Google Calendar automatically, and cancellations do too. Catching an edit made on the Google side and reflecting it back is built but not yet proven against a live account, so for now treat Slate as the source of truth and Google as where you see it.
Can I schedule a group lesson?
Not yet — each lesson on the diary is one student today. Group scheduling isn't built.
Add next week once. Watch it roll forward on its own.
Seven days free is enough time to see whether the diary really does hold the line without you.
