This was a feature I really liked in the previous version of clear. You could set the Home Screen icon to show a numbered badge for the number of tasks yet to complete in the list you selected in the app
Would be cool to have something like this working in future
I agree it would be very useful to me too
Iāll keep an eye on this thread. I will admit I intentionally left this one out, as a part of rebooting to a simpler and more zen place. (I feel like this is one of those settings more people turn on than they shouldā¦ if that makes any sense. Similar reason we keep resisting adding more nesting levels to lists.) But Iām curious what the community consensus āmost missed featuresā will end up being as more people try out the new Clear.
Just from my own perspective Iām definitely in a more zen state of mind if I can know Iāve done all my tasks for the day without having to open my task app to check I havenāt forgotten anything!
Otherwise Iāll be regularly opening the app just in case I missed something important
Having Home Screen app icon badge numbers is honestly one of the features I look for in a good task app
Throwing my name into the ring in support of this.
Iām ruthless with turning off badges; I think in the majority of cases, they either donāt give enough information, where a notification would be better, or they give almost no actionable information, and should be turned off. When I see peopleās phone screenshots with e.g. email apps with badges in the thousands: why not just turn it off? You know you always have unread mail, and youāre just going to check the top of your inbox when you have time. Make your home screen a little nicer. (anyway, sorry for the distracting rant)
However, an implementation like Clearās, where you have to intentionally turn on the setting and choose a list, seems to be a more mindful implementation. A badge could actually tell you whether you have more errands that need to be completed today, or if youāreā¦ Clear.
That said, I feel like the eventual home screen widgets will supplant this feature for most. Seeing not just how many uncompleted tasks there are, but what the first 4ā6 actually are, would be great. Also, being able to glance at multiple listsā counts. Itās something I really look forward to, personally.
I agree, this would be a super handy feature.
My main use case is displaying a badge with a count of unfinished items on my āTodayā list.
A key point is not to overwhelm people with showing a count for every unticked item in Clear, but to let users explicitly select a list. Maybe allowing the count to include even more than one list like āTodayā and āGroceriesā could be an option, but Iām wondering if this should require to show an indicator on lists whether they contribute to the count badge.
Hi everyone,
This is my first post here. Iāve used Clear since 2012, almost everyday, perfectly happy with the original version. What Iāve always liked is the minimalism of the app. Yet I was curious about testing the beta version, so here I am 
I agree with Paul, who initiated this topic. What immediately struck me when I saw the first screen of the beta version is that the numbers on the right of each list are no longer here. They are important to me, so I guess Iāll get back to the original version if the number of unfinished tasks for each list donāt come back on the new version.
Apart from that, I find everything else quite cool - though I havenāt figured out yet how you can get more themes and iconsā¦
Iām coming back from the classic version and really liked having the number of tasks next to each list. I was also a fan of the badge number on the home screen.
Would it be possible to add an option toggle in a future update?
I noticed swiping a list to the left allows for deleting or archiving. What if swiping to the right toggles for task numbers to be shown or the list to be prioritized (starred)
Itās great to see Clear being given a new lease of life! Itās been my daily driver ToDo list app since it was first released and I havenāt found anything thatās half as good. So thank you! 
Iād also add my vote to this feature. App badges drive pretty much my entire working usage of my phone. It means I can see everything I need to do/respond to at one glance of my Home Screen. I donāt use Widgets myself for the same reasons of simplicity and zen. No badges showing means nothing to do which means time to relax! 
Echoing the badges - I need to see how much is on my list without having to open the app every time.
Just checked out the new āComplicationsā in v2.0.2 and was super happy to see the app badge return! Thank you!! 
For sure. And thank you all in this thread for making your case for them, itās one of the smaller things in Clear I donāt use myself so was something of a blindspot.
