New Clear Launch MegaThread

Yes that is the plan!

Yeah I’m interested in widgets, would be really fun with all the different themes now. It’s not trivial in that they have to be made in SwiftUI and handle all our different fonts etc. But I hope to get to them someday.

Might look into a simple Lock Screen shortcut widget to start or something in an earlier update.

I have no issues using the new Clear. But I am very disappointed that I can no longer sync with my iPad. The ability to sync across iPhone and iPad while enjoying the minimalist features of Clear is what made Clear so unique. Without this core functionality, Clear is just another list app with pretty themes. Your team overlooked a key strength of your original offering. Waiting a year for sync to be implemented, if at all, is brutal. Other apps successfully use iCloud sync, so can you.

Widget - Someday in 2052

Hello!

I’m sure this has been addressed already, but not sure where to find the answer.

Can anyone tell me if all my purchases from the old version of Clear are gone for good? I purchased all the sounds and would love to have them back.

Thanks for any insight on this! :slight_smile:

If you still miss them later on with the other sound packs let me know. We have the old sound pack files, we could port them into the new sound themes format probably etc. And I think even hook up to the same IAP bundle identifier so it restores on purchase. But it would be a bit of a project and we have some stuff to get through first!

Congratulations on the launch guys, despite the few naysayers I’m loving the new version and enjoying the reward reset more than I thought I would, Ive been using clear since it came out and I’m glad you’ve put so much work and effort into it.
Grabbed a couple things from the store to help support the app and I’m looking forward to the future improvements and whatever else you have in store.

Thank you! Couple days in, I continue to feel we have good bones here to build on and refine etc. Should be a fun year ahead.

I really wish we hadn’t lost all the customizations we had earned throughout the beta. I miss my app the way it was

I’m thinking 2.0.1 will unlock a bunch of starting loot (from rare drops pool) for you all as a kind of one time thing. That will include like a dozen themes, the ‘cream’ pastel set and the ‘oz’ color set. Probably the Helvetica / classic icon unlocks too.

Thanks Phill! I’m enjoying the new format - I probably should have led with that - I’m so sorry!

I sure appreciate your willingness to add the older sounds when you have the time. I’m in no hurry, but did want you know how much I enjoyed them. :slight_smile:

Would it be possible to simply grant beta testers access to the specific items they unlocked during the beta, or a limited number of those? How about giving beta testers the option to purchase any items they’ve already unlocked?

I hope you appreciate the frankness of my feedback when I say that I’m not interested in using customizations other than the ones I’ve already decided to use. Maybe this sentiment isn’t material to Clear’s success, but I will likely not continue to use this app with the promise that one day I might or might not be able to purchase the option to restore the look and feel that I appreciated it for.

The loss of iCloud syncing between my iOS and macOS devices, including the complete abandonment of a macOS version has made this app practically useless to me after several years of loyal use. Very disappointed!

Would it be possible to implement Bolt Text toggle in settings in some near future? I mean for the fonts that can be bold such as San Francisco. I really like how Clear looks in bold text when you turn on the iOS bold text toggle, but I don’t like bold text system wise. I prefer the regular.

Not sure if you’re aware, but you can create bold topics by putting a colon at the end of a line item.

Additionally, you can create a tiny sub-task by putting a space in front of a line item. Hope that helps!

I could see this being a typography setting in the future yeah.

iPhone 12 I managed to get to my current to do list. I cannot find how to add reminders though it has saved reminders & if I hold my finger in the event a little window shows up where reminders appear. I can’t get into the little window.

Also cannot figure out how to get to master list of lists (blue thing)

Cannot get out of current To Do list (orange)

HELP

Edit: the pale half disk at the bottom of the screen gets me from the to do list to the master list of lists. Still trying to add reminders.

Pull an item far right (past complete) for reminders.

Oh, yeah, I know about that :slight_smile:

When I have gifted clear the recipients are unable to claim a gift, it says: Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid. Also, should we be receiving any gifts on our end as the sender?
