Michael Rose (Again)

The internet is a mess. I'm curating a tiny corner of it.

Clear is addictively simple, beautiful and makes me feel all iPhone apps should work like this

The idea is simple. A “To Do list” app; the most basic unit of productivity.

I love productivity porn, list managers, clever services, GTD metholodies, capture devices, but my heart sang when I downloaded and started adding items to Clear.

I paid £0.69 for this, the risk was low, why not install just one more todo list app to my iPhone? I was feeding my addiction and burning desire to find ‘the perfect tool’ but… I think I’m in love.

If you already have a useful productive system you won’t need this. But install it anyway!

Use it for shopping lists, just play with it, and you’ll understand my enthusiasm. There are no tick boxes, no buttons, no nested lists within lists, no contexts, tags or folders… Just simple lists, simply created, with multi-touch gestures.

Not all iOS apps can afford such simplicity of course but I do wish more apps looked and felt like Clear.
