Tackle Your Tasks

Staying on track with any project means tackling those tasks. With multiple list and reminder features, your to-dos will be complete in no time.

Clear Lists

When you want a super simple list to keep track of things.

Clear Lists
Clear

For anyone who doesn't need a complex system for lists, reminders, and to-dos.

Clear is the new darling of task managers, and it’s easy to see why. Clear is one of the few apps that would not work in another operating system. It was clearly designed for iOS and is only usable with a touchscreen. Clear is entirely controlled by gestures, and it is undeniably fun to swipe, pinch, and pull to add, modify, and reorder tasks and lists. As a task manager, however, Clear lacks many features that have become standard even for free apps, such as due dates, notifications, alerts, or even syncing, and its beautiful user interface makes the faux pas of obscuring the status bar. Syncs with: nothing. Additional fees: none. Reminders/Siri: no.

Why we love it

Clear is beautiful and features intuitive gestures that make it super easy to create and manage lists.
