Why I don't use Clear for tasks

[dropcap]O[/dropcap]n February 16th, Realmac Software released a whole new way to manage daily tasks -- Clear. It actually looks really nice, but I'll never use it to manage the tasks in my life because it lacks one simple feature: multi-platform support. If I am to rely on something as my task manager, then it needs to be available everywhere, not just on my iPhone. What if my iPhone's battery dies or I don't have it with me when I need to check the task list? There's no way to do that unless I have an iPhone available.

It'd be great if Realmac at least had a Mac or Web app available to manage the list anywhere, but they don't. This isn't one of those articles that argues the app should come to Android or something, it's an article that argues such an app should be available somewhere all the time in case something happens to the one device that it works on. There are such emergencies and I can't risk all my tasks disappearing.

So until Clear is brought either to the Web or something close, I'll continue using Apple's Reminders that's built-in to the iCloud Calendar since it's a much more sensible solution and can be accessed anywhere.
