What is Clear?

Don't view Clear as the replacement for a fully fledged task management system like Todoist. It isn't. Clear is made to be simple and focused on light lists.

Clear has a range of users - from grocery shoppers who want a visual and fun list to wander around the supermarkets with, to those who want to create a narrowed list for their priorities and day to day focus.

Clear won't be something you jump on if you wanted more advanced features, but it does present enough for the everyday user of tasks that is more playful and fun than Apple Reminders.


Features of Clear for Tasks

Here's some of Clear's most useful features within their basic task app:

  • Create Lists - the bread and butter of Clear is pop lists that allow you to open them up and add more tasks. Once you learn how to add a task quickly, it is fun and simple to do.
  • Due Dates - you can add due dates and reminder times to each of your tasks too.
  • Themes and Colours - one of the USPs of Clear is the way you can change the lists to different colours making it truly your own.

As you can see Clear offers a simple set of features, nothing too in-depth.
