Clear is a “To-Do” list management app by RealMacSoftware. Based on what I found searching around on the net (here), it looks like they sold the app to some other developer and then support was non-existent for a variety of reasons, COVID being one of them. I don’t know the details, nor do I care. But I sure would love an app update that would resolve a problem I’ve encountered more than once: a device randomly stops syncing.
After some research and a fair amount of hacking at it (as a once-upon-a-time UNIX admin), I think I figured out how to fix it.
Let me be perfectly clear, I realize that I’m probably pushing the App more than the average user, by having my lists sync between two phones, a tablet, a laptop and a desktop. Still, it can be particularly frustrating when one device randomly stops syncing, because somehow that’s the device I end up needing more than any other.
