Marked work-in-progress, not all original Clear app features are implemented yet.
HTML5 Clear is a web-based task management app that recreates the experience of the popular iOS app called Clear. Instead of a traditional to-do list with checkboxes, it uses fluid, gesture-based interactions, you swipe to delete tasks, tap to add new ones, and navigate through lists with smooth animations. The whole app runs in your browser and works even when you're offline, so you can manage your tasks anytime without an internet connection. The app stores all your data locally on your device using browser storage, meaning your tasks stay private and accessible without needing to sync to a server. You can even add it to your iPhone or Android homescreen and use it like a native app. It's built with web technologies (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) as a creative challenge to push what's possible in the browser, the original project was an attempt to see if the elegant, animation-heavy design of the iOS Clear app could be faithfully recreated on the web. This would appeal to anyone who loved the original Clear app but wanted it accessible on more devices or in a browser, or who appreciates minimalist task management interfaces that prioritize speed and gesture-based interactions over traditional clunky list design. If you prefer swiping and sliding over clicking buttons, and you like the visual feedback of smooth animations when you complete tasks, this project shows what that experience looks like in a browser. The project is marked as work-in-progress, so not all features from the original app are fully implemented yet. It can also be loaded as a Chrome packaged app if you want a more app-like experience on desktop. The author created this as a personal technical exploration rather than as an official recreation, inspired by the original design work from Realmac Software and their collaborators.
