Small text, made easier to read. Clearly turns your rear camera into a simple, gesture-first magnifying glass for menus, labels, instructions, serial numbers, receipts, books, and everyday details. Open the app and start magnifying—no account or complicated setup. READ SMALL TEXT MORE COMFORTABLY Use Clearly as a live digital magnifier whenever fine print or a small detail is difficult to see. • Pinch or swipe vertically to zoom • Turn on the flashlight in dim places • Tap to capture a frame and inspect it without holding the same position • Magnify captured views up to 16× • Move around a captured view to check every detail • Save an image only when you choose CHOOSE THE VIEW THAT WORKS FOR YOU Swipe horizontally or use the viewing-style control to move between five modes: • Original • Balanced clarity • Document black and white • Color negative • Inverted document You can also fine-tune brightness and contrast for different text, surfaces, and lighting conditions. MADE FOR EVERYDAY DETAILS Clearly is useful for reading restaurant menus, product labels, medicine-bottle print, appliance serial numbers, receipts, manuals, maps, books, craft details, electronics, and more. DESIGNED FOR SIMPLE, ACCESSIBLE CONTROL Large controls, clear labels, VoiceOver support, reduced-motion behavior, and an interface that fades out of the way help keep the content front and center. PRIVATE IMAGE HANDLING Magnified images are processed on your device and are not uploaded by Clearly. Nothing is added to Photos unless you tap Save. Clearly requests add-only photo access when saving and does not attach location or EXIF metadata to saved images. Clearly may display ads. Available advertising privacy choices can be reviewed from the app settings. Live camera zoom and image quality vary by device. Clearly is a general-purpose visual assistance tool and does not diagnose or treat vision conditions. Open. Zoom. Read. Clearly — see the details that matter.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Data Guard by SmarTone at none against Clearly's shown. Data Guard by SmarTone also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Clearly's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
