Clear
What Clear is
Clear is a gesture-driven list app for thoughts, plans, goals, to-dos, and reminders. It runs on iOS, Android, macOS, and the web, with Clear Web labeled a Pro beta feature. Tasks can be completed by swiping right, deleted by swiping left, reordered by dragging, and undone by shaking the phone. The free plan includes headers, captions, moving tasks between lists, sharing, real-time collaboration, Spotlight search, and iCloud backup. Shared links let invited people join from iPhone, Android, or a browser without installing the app. Clear Pro adds reminders and deadlines, repeating tasks, archiving, interactive Home and Lock Screen widgets, an Apple Watch app, Clear Cloud sync, and Clear Web Beta. Personalization includes 398 themes, about 150 icons, more than 80 fonts, 20 sound packs, quote packs, and haptics, with collectibles and achievements unlocking additional items. The maker says private list contents remain on-device, while shared content is stored in Google Firebase.
