Clear for iPhone
I have so much excitement for this new iPhone app coming out soon! Clear seems to have been built with the intention of throwing away every known “rule” in UI design, and starting from absolute scratch. It’s super-focused, extremely polished and so detailed in every aspect, from the sounds to the animations.
It looks like the kind of application where you would add fake content over and over again, just to experience the joy of interacting with it. Now that’s what I would call a great user experience.
It’s never too late to create a new product in an well-established category, you just have to do it much better.
Even though it looks great, I haven’t tried it yet. Many people have, and they say it’s as good as it looks, but I have to give it a spin before I can deem it a success or not.
Clear is built by Realmac Software, Milen and Impending. It has been sent to Apple and should be out very soon.
Update: It’s out. Clear lives up to all my expectations. Lovely, well-crafted and really fun to use. And make sure you have the sound on! Unfortunately it’s too light for me to make the switch from Things, especially since I’m using the Cloud beta version.
