We could use some eyes on this beta for Clear 2.4.3! It features repeating tasks for Pro members, and a new toolbar. (Don't worry, there is a setting as well to swipe to show/hide it if you prize Clear's minimalism.) More info on the TestFlight here: https://t.co/dnh9HYOMlK

Introducing Bauhaus Clock - When idle time becomes beautiful. After months of refinement, this screensaver launches today. Bringing mechanical watch precision to your Mac with meticulous attention to detail. Your workspace remains elegant, even when you're away. Link below ↓

Here's a quick demo of the pro toolbar (now collapsible). This would replace text shortcuts for formatting and reminders, and accommodate some future functionality.

This is insane and I love it

Clear Pro update: we released it to about 2% of you via phased release, but paused it for now to debug an issue with App Store receipts coming back "nil" for some of you. (Important for legacy check + actually subscribing.) Hopefully we can solve for next week!

(If you have other ideas feel free to suggest / fav ones you like below! Could do a round 2 with some of the best.)

how it started how it’s going

We're working on Clear Pro membership and are seeking some community feedback! (Syncing has also been in the works since the summer, and will be a part of Pro.) Here's a forum post with more information. Will also be linking this in the app: https://t.co/PYL3nA9gdc

Very smart use of skeumorphic design, targeting something we still value for its physicality

Clear 2.3 is out with Spotlight search! Plus initial hotkeys, some fixes and polish. 🔍⌨️ Search works well, note that sometimes you'll have to tap 'more results' to view results from Clear. Syncing is progressing, hope to kick off alpha testing with some of you in January.

I enjoyed the memeing! Was cool to see it sprout other people’s ideas over it.

I wonder how many developers have made a mini Clear project to mess around over the years!

I can vouch for the 'hire us' part of this post, have met many of the TouchArcade staff over the years and they were consistently great people. One from the archives:

RIP TouchArcade https://t.co/4Bp2NW2DQv It's bittersweet imagining the alternate reality that established a lasting culture around great new apps, like video games or movies have. In that world TouchArcade would be thriving, and we would all have much better apps.
