Easy Peesy

Love this little app. I’ve used OmniFocus for years to manage most of my projects, but it’s been hard to find something easy and portable for little things that crop up that are too small to go to the trouble of putting in OmniFocus. Enter Clear. I use it for grocery lists, day lists, idea lists, worry lists, lists of people who are supposed to get back to me, etc., etc. When I first got the app I was worried that it would somehow add to my sense of obligations rather than free me up, but free me up it has. It’s simple to use and syncs with iCloud so it follows me wherever I am. No frills (though they just added reminders which I don’t use), but clean and spare, elegant to look at. My worry with an app like this is that some idiot at the company will get ambitious to make it do more and make it bloated and messy in the process—better being the enemy of good. So far that hasn’t happened. Fair price, too, including the $10 tag for the Mac version. Kudos all around.
