Clear.app Free for 24hrs (itunes.apple.com)

I appreciate free (huzzah!), but for overall functionality...meh. It's all form, and no functionality for a to-do app. I'd stick with Wunderlist or Remember the Milk for day to day use.


This is for people who bought Clear+ and should switch to Clear, as outlined in their letter[0]. It's an interesting issue, what's the best solution for the current predicament. At what point do you ask users for more money, vs continuing to give your other users free updates?

I feel like App Stores in particular have made us (users) feel too entitled.

I’ll stick with Todo.txt. The iOS app works well enough and it’s nice to be able to access my lists on all my computers since I store the files in Dropbox. The only annoying part was figuring out a way to set recurring tasks. Remind and a cron job running on my Raspberry Pi have solved that though.


This looks great! I'm a little jealous because I started making a list app that I eventually got bored with that had very similar functionality, in 2012. Definitely downloading this though and giving it a trial run!


I'd heard about the app being very gesture-centric, but having to do a pinch to navigate up the hierarchy is a bit tedious; means you can't operate one-handed.


To navigate up, just do a long pull down from the top of the screen.


Why was this posted on HN? A lot of apps go free every week.


It's because of the reason Clear went free, the developers wrote an open letter to users about it: http://realmacsoftware.com/clear/letter


What a gorgeous app!


Not free for Mac though.
