The Slab ecosystem
Tools that stay out of the way.
Read and mark up on your iPad. Write on your Mac. Your own AI in the loop — one quiet family of tools, one account.
Three tools. One focus.
Slab Reader
The reading app your AI can read.
Read and highlight on your iPad with your Apple Pencil — then let Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity read your marks and reply.

Slab Pad
The Markdown editor your AI can actually use.
A focused Mac Markdown editor with a local MCP server — your own AI answers in the margin and edits in place. Nothing leaves your machine.

Slab CMD
The terminal your AI can drive.
Sessions, split panes, and your own assistant at the prompt — running commands you can review first. In development.

Bring your own AI
One assistant. Your assistant.
Every app ships its own chatbot now — another subscription, another chat history, another place your thinking gets scattered. Slab does the opposite: the assistant you already pay for connects to your tools.
One subscription, not five
Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity — the account you already have does the work. No second AI fee baked into every tool you buy.
Your chats stay in your AI
Same assistant, same memory, same history. The answers land in your documents — in the margin, under your highlights — not in a chatbot you'll never open again.
Your content stays yours
We never send your documents to any AI company. On the Mac nothing leaves the machine at all; on iPad your assistant connects in, authenticated as you.
On your terms, revocably
Each assistant connects with its own labelled key. Revoke one in a tap and its access stops — the others carry on.
