Clear 2.4.3 is now released on the App Store! Thanks to everyone who helped test this ahead of its release.
Here’s what’s new:
• Toolbar above keyboard
• New setting to enable swipe gesture to show or hide toolbar
• (Pro) Set tasks to repeat, they will regenerate when cleared away
• Simple Styles text shortcuts deprecated in favor of toolbar options
• Natural language reminders deprecated in favor of toolbar option
• More logging & reduction in data synced to Clear Watch
• Backend data support for the upcoming sync & Clear Web test
• “Clear” changed to “Remove Reminder” for more legibility
• Momotaro theme color values tweaked
Repeating tasks have been requested since Clear’s original release, and it’s a feature that is kind of enabled by the new toolbar, which allows for some useful features without needing new hidden gestures to teach. This is a new feature for Clear Pro members.
You can set a task to repeat with the new toolbar. These tasks will ‘regenerate’ at the top of your list after checking them off and then pulling to clear away your checked off tasks:
It’s useful for tasks you’re doing each day on your todo list, or other use cases like weekly grocery items, or perhaps your gym workout list.
The new toolbar is handy, and I think feels solid designed as an extension of your keyboard. We’re dropping the natural language parsing trigger for reminders in favor of this placement, as it’s much more obvious and easy to invoke. (Same for the text shortcuts we had for simple styles.)
Don’t worry if you prize Clear’s minimalism, we also include a new setting you can opt-into that lets you toggle the toolbar with a vertical swipe.
This update is set for phased release, and will be rolling out in auto-updates through the week, but you can grab it from the App Store now.
Please report any issues! There are some backend changes, so we’ll be keeping an eye on any crash or bug reports coming in.
With this update out, we will be focused on preparing an iOS + Clear Web TestFlight for the forums next.
