What ClearTODO is

ClearTODO is a focus-first task manager for turning thoughts into one next step. You can capture tasks immediately and sort them later, then place them in Now or Later instead of maintaining a detailed priority system. A focus timer counts upward beneath the selected task and can be started, paused, or finished from the task list. Review summarizes completed tasks and time spent without scores or streaks. The free plan costs nothing and supports local and cloud modes. Local Mode stores tasks, lists, and settings in browser localStorage, and ClearTODO says it cannot access that data. Cloud Mode synchronizes tasks to ClearTODO’s servers after account creation and sign-in. For cloud use, the service says it uses Firebase Authentication, HTTPS transfers, and database access controls. ClearTODO runs on the web and iOS; its home page says a native iPhone app is in progress.
