About

Clair App

Read full description

Clair brings your tasks, quick notes, and ideas together in one clean, simple app. No clutter, no sign-in, no subscriptions, just three focused tabs that work the way you think. Todos: Capture tasks the way you'd send a message, type it, hit send, done. Set reminders so nothing slips through. Add priority flags to see what matters most at a glance. Sort your list the way that works for you. Cards: Quick sticky notes for anything you need to jot down fast, a thought, a reminder, a snippet to refer back to later. Choose from a range of colors to organize visually, and sort your cards however you like. Notes: A full notes experience when you need more space to think. Organize with folders, write in Markdown for clean formatting, and sort to find what you need quickly. Make it yours: Customize Clair with accent colors and font options so the app feels like your own. Privacy first: Clair works entirely on your device, with no accounts, no tracking, and no logins. Your data is yours. Clair is aimed at anyone juggling multiple lightweight capture tools, such as a todo list, a notes app, and a place for quick reminders, who wants them combined into one simple interface instead of switching between separate apps. It solves the friction of that context switching by keeping fast task capture, quick notes, and longer form writing in one clean, three tab app.
