# Clear

> Gesture-driven list app with no buttons, free on iPhone and Android

Clear is a minimalist list app controlled entirely by gestures: swipe to complete or delete, pull down to add, pinch to insert. Lists are colored as a heat map, and everyday use unlocks collectible themes, icons, fonts and sound packs. The core app is free with no ads, and a Clear Pro subscription adds reminders, repeating tasks, widgets, the Apple Watch app and cloud sync. A shared list can be joined from an iPhone, an Android phone or a web browser.

## Key features

- **Gesture controls:** Every action is a gesture: swipe right to complete, swipe left to delete, pull down to create, pinch apart to insert between two rows, and shake to undo.
- **Heat-map lists:** Each list is colored as a heat map that highlights the most important tasks. A long press picks up an item so it can be dragged to a new position.
- **Shared lists:** A list is shared with a link that opens in the iPhone app, the Android app or a browser with nothing to install. Edits reach every device at once, and sharing does not need Pro.
- **Themes, sounds and collectibles:** There are 398 themes, about 150 app icons, more than 80 fonts and 20 sound packs. Completing tasks drops collectibles at random; 9 themes are free and the rest come with Pro.
- **Reminders and repeating tasks:** Clear Pro adds reminders and deadlines with Complete, Reschedule and Snooze actions, along with repeating tasks and list archiving.
- **Widgets, Apple Watch and sync:** Pro members get interactive Home and Lock Screen widgets, the Apple Watch app, and Clear Cloud sync with Clear Web, which the vendor labels beta.

## Good for

- People who want a list app with as little interface as possible
- Shared grocery or packing lists with people who do not have the app
- Users motivated by sounds, themes and unlockable rewards

## Worth knowing

- Reminders, repeating tasks, archiving, widgets and the Apple Watch app all require Clear Pro.
- Cloud sync between devices and Clear Web are Pro features that are still labeled beta.
- Clear Pro's billing terms are not on the vendor's site; the App Store lists it at $3.99 and Google Play shows in-app purchases from $3.99 to $29.99.
- Some shared-list controls, such as member limits and removing people, are marked as iPhone first.
