THANK YOU
To all of you who helped test,
wrote in with thoughtful feedback,
many who waited very patiently,
and all of you who kept on listing all these years.

This update fixes the broken Clear newsletter signup.

P.S. Join us on our quest to restore and revive a vibrant future for Clear. We’ll reach out after you clear completed tasks, twice.

This update fixes a crash for Clear AppURLs, which are used for importing email lists and integration with some other apps.

This update FINALLY fixes the bug when creating new items.

We are genuinely sorry this took so long. As someone who relies on Clear daily myself (Phill, if you wrote into support) it was anxious every day we didn’t have this fix out, understanding what you all were going through.

Thank you to everyone who wrote in and helped test the fix update. I think we received dozens of screen recordings of the issue! There were so many support emails. It was stirring how many of you still care for this little app.

P.S. For those of you who are more early adopter types and use it mainly on the phone, or were excited when we announced years ago a new version in the works, you can reach out at the support link listed on this page for a TestFlight invite to the new Clear.

• Under the hood changes to begin preparing for a migration to the upcoming new Clear

This update (finally!) adds support for the iPhone X.

Plus you’ll find 4 new teaser themes as a preview for the upcoming brand new Clear…

Please note that the Apple Watch app has been removed, as it will require a lengthy rewrite to work on the upcoming watchOS. If you feel strongly about this send us an email at clear@impending.com!

P.S. we’re still investigating an issue with items sometimes disappearing after editing them. If you are experiencing this send us an email as well!

Here’s what’s added and fixed:
• Basic support for iPhone X’s screen
• Added 4 new teaser themes from the upcoming new Clear (unlocks on first launch of the new update)
• Fixed layout issues in the Today widget
• Fixed a crash that could happen on launch
• Fixed reminders popup layout issues on smaller screen devices

Here’s a quick update to fix a couple details that went awry:

• Correct padding should be restored in the widget
• Reminder panel should be properly placed across different screen sizes

Thanks to everyone who wrote in about these, and please let us know if you find other strange things! We’re listening at help@impending.com

P.S. from the last update:

Many of you have written in curious or anxious about the future of the app…

Here’s what’s been happening. The guys at Impending (they worked on Clear 1.0 with us) have been cranking away at a huge rewrite and reboot effort since early this year.

It’s very important to us that this upcoming update impresses you and reminds you why you fell in love with Clear years ago.

Stay tuned on twitter @UseClear for more info later this year!

Hello! It’s been too long. We have a couple updates for you today.

First iOS 11 just came out and we heard you weren’t able to create reminder items anymore! We fixed this and also made the app icon badge update properly.

Second many of you have written in curious or anxious about the future of the app…

Here’s what’s been happening. The guys at Impending (they worked on Clear 1.0) have been cranking away at a huge rewrite and reboot effort since early this year.

It’s very important to us that this upcoming update impresses you and reminds you why you fell in love with Clear years ago.

Stay tuned on twitter @UseClear for more info later this year!

• Fixes the pesky bug that wouldn’t let you set reminders.
• Bigger updates coming soon!

Thanks for your support, and don’t forget to use Clear!

This important message is brought to you by the Department of Interesting, Accurate and Non-Generic Release notes!

Instead of boring you with “We’ll highlight features in the app as they launch”, we think it’s better to tell you what’s new. After all, you’re awesome enough to pick up a copy of Clear. So here’s what’s new in Clear 1.7.3:

• We’ve added support for the new Proactive features on iOS 9 - as you use Clear (and we think you should!) instead of describing the app’s contents as simply “Clear”, we let iOS 9 know the name of your lists so that you can do things like ask Siri to “remind me about this”. It also means that, as you use Clear, list names will start to appear in Search results on your devices.*
• There’s some changes behind the scenes that have no effect on your use of Clear (we’ve just updated Clear to use the shiny new version of the Swift programming language).

Thanks for using Clear!

* Just like with Background App Refresh, Search results may vary based on your usage of Clear.

Thanks for using Clear! Today’s update ensures that any reminders you set in Clear are correctly displayed in the “Today” view widget.

Hello, friends! We hope you’re enjoying the most recent version of Clear - whether it’s on your Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch!

New in this update:

- Fixes a problem that caused some dictated reminders to be set on UTC instead of your localised timezone.
- Clear for Apple Watch no longer truncates really long tasks.
- Fixes a truncation problem in Clear’s glance on 38mm Apple Watch.
- We’ve improved the behaviour of the App Icon badge so that it updates when background changes are made to Clear (as if by magic).
- Fixes a problem where Clear’s iCloud sync would silently become deactivated.

Thanks as always for using Clear - we’re hard at work on more features, themes and more - so, stay tuned!

Say hello to the biggest update to Clear, well, ever! We’ve packed this update with three huge new features - including Clear for Apple Watch.

◆ Clear for Apple Watch

Clear for Apple Watch is the newest member of the Clear family. We’ve brought your favorite to-do and reminders app to Apple Watch, allowing you to complete existing tasks from your wrist, and create tasks and reminders via dictation! Just ask Clear to “Remind me to take the cat for a walk tomorrow morning” and we’ll make sure you get reminded (if you’re not a cat person, it’s OK - you can set any other reminders). There’s also a Glance, to show your next upcoming Reminder.

#protip: Tap the heatmap to complete a task, and use Force Touch to add new ones!

◆◆ Even if you’re not getting an Apple Watch, you’ll love this update too. ◆◆

◆ Interactive Notifications

We’ve added interactive notifications to reminders - you can complete a task by simply swiping-down on a notification and choosing “Complete”, or snooze the reminder for 15 minutes. It even works (as if by magic) on your device’s lock screen.

◆ Handoff

There’s also all-new Handoff support in every version of Clear (Watch, iPhone, iPad, Mac - we’ve been busy) so you can carry on working as you switch between your favorite devices. You can use Handoff via the Lock Screen and App Switcher on iOS, as well as the Dock and App Switcher (Cmd + Tab) on your Mac. Handoff is even supported in Clear for Apple Watch’s Glance, allowing you to quickly dive into your next upcoming reminder on your iPhone!

◆ A New Theme, and The Return of a Favorite!

Oh boy. We were going to keep theme details secret, but we’ve spilt the beans now. There’s a brand-new “Edition” theme to unlock, and we’ve made sure you can still unlock the “Vanilla” theme too.

We hope you love this huge free update to Clear, and send us your feedback. If you do <3 this update please consider taking the time to write a review on the App Store - and be sure to tell your friends about Clear for Apple Watch. Thanks for using Clear. xxx

This update includes the Clear icon you know and love, and fixes a couple of issues reported by you, our awesome customers. Thanks for supporting Clear this year - we’ve got a lot more to share with you in 2015, so stay productive and Use Clear! xx
