I love some features of the new Clear. For instance, the “tap above home bar” is awesome.
I would appreciate a possibility (setting) to have a VERY CLEAN, somewhat raw (not fancy) look and feel:
a font very easy to read
less space between the lists
very basic and fast transitions or even no transition at all
no haptic feedback
Clear has beautiful colors and is very fancy. But to me it is mainly a “hard to beat” tool for productivity / quick notes. A bunch of settings in this direction would be great: speed, focus on information, no fancy visuals that may distract.
I feel that we are going to come through for you here. I just don’t want to promise all of it for initial release, but the personalization we are going to explore with the new Clear in general, a big part of that eventually will be the able to make it as minimal as you’d like too.
We are also planning a general ‘animation tightening’ pass that will probably improve the baseline.
the current version is really great. To me, I would use it as is. Therefore the following is only a wish: I still think that linked to the silent mode, the haptic feedback should be avoided.
Also you spoke about ‘animation tightening’: the possibility to choose a “quite no animation/raw” setting WOULD be great.
Lots of apps have settings to turn on and off haptics now.
Also “reduce motion”, which I think is a systemwide accessibility setting that apps have access to.
