[This comment](https://club.useclear.com/t/how-to-unlock-loot-in-the-new-clear-faq/884/11) on the loot unlock thread described how one user avoids clearing tasks from some lists that they intend to reuse. I’ve occasionally created lists that I could see myself using this way, like a packing list for a recurring activity, and I got to thinking about how clearing completed items from these lists could be not only possible, but actually more convenient: what if I could tell Clear to restore completed items to the list when clearing it instead of having them disappear?

I wouldn’t want that to be the default behavior, but it might be nice to be able to toggle this on for lists I intend to reuse frequently. Y’all could probably do something cool with the restore animation, too.

It would also be nice if they come back in the original order instead of the order you cleared them. Could also be that the list is reset everyday.
