'Clear' To-Do App for iOS Released
Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 9:01AM After seeing the above teaser video a while back, I have been anxiously awaiting the release of Realmac's to-do app, Clear. I consider myself a fan of great design, and unfortunately the majority of the existing to-do apps out there are either horribly ugly or just WAY too overloaded with features to be of any use to me.
Clear intends to change all of that. When you open the app and have no tasks, you'll see something like this:
No buttons, no visible interface to speak of. Pull the screen down though, and a red bar will appear at the top of the screen where you can type in a task. Do this several times, and you'll get something like this:
Notice the colors. Everything is color-coded in order of priority from top to bottom. You can move things around as needed simply by dragging them up/down. Swipe left on a task to delete it, swipe right to "complete" it. Completed tasks can be deleted as a group by pulling up. Other actions include pinching together on the list to move up one level in the app (there are 3 levels: main menu > lists > tasks) and pinching two tasks apart to create a new task between them.
Everything feels very intuitive and I absolutely love the minimalist aesthetic. This is definitely going to be my to-do app of choice for the forseeable future and it's only a dollar so I suggest that you try it out too!
