  description

  Stop rereading the same email trying to figure out what they want.
  
  ClearTask instantly clarifies the ask, drafts a polite reply, and captures the task — so nothing important slips through.
  
  🧠 BUILT FOR NEURODIVERGENT MINDS
  We know the inbox isn't really about email. It's about cognitive load, missed opportunities, and the reputation hit when things fall through the cracks. ClearTask is the scaffolding you've been missing.
  
  ✨ WHAT IT DOES
  
  1️⃣ CLARIFY — See instantly: Is this an action, or just FYI? What exactly are they asking for? When do they need it?
  
  2️⃣ ACKNOWLEDGE — One-click reply lets people know you've seen it. No more getting chased.
  
  3️⃣ CAPTURE — Export tasks to Todoist, Asana, Google Calendar, or any system with email-to-task.
  
  ⚖️ LIFE BALANCE DASHBOARD
  Track commitments across Work, Life Admin, Relationships, and Self. See when work is crowding out what matters. Log tasks from WhatsApp, phone calls, or meetings — not just email.
  
  ⚠️ "WHAT MIGHT SLIP" WARNINGS
  Before you say yes, see what existing commitments could be affected. Protect your capacity.
  
  🔒 PRIVACY-FIRST (BYOK)
  Bring Your Own Key. Your API key stays on your device. Emails go directly from your browser to Claude or OpenAI — we never see your content.
  
  📧 WORKS WITH
  - Gmail
  - Outlook Web (outlook.com, office.com)
  
  📋 Export tasks to your favourite task manager or calendar via email-to-task integration.
  
  💰 PRICING
  - Free: 5 clarifications/day (forever free, no credit card)
  - Pro: £7/month — Unlimited clarifications + all features

  The goal isn't inbox zero. It's never missing what matters.
  
  Built by a neurodivergent founder who was tired of tools that made things worse.

  Clarify unclear emails, draft structured replies, and keep track of tasks and agreements.
  
  ClearTask helps you review incoming emails, identify action items, draft structured replies, and maintain a clearer record of commitments and deadlines.
  
  Designed for professionals who deal with high email volume, shifting priorities, and unclear communication.
  
  ✨ HOW IT WORKS
  
  When viewing an email in Gmail, click the floating “Clarify” button to run the message through the C.L.E.A.R. Framework.
  
  ClearTask then shows:
  
  • a clarity score (1–5)
  • whether clarification is needed before action
  • missing deadlines or unclear requests
  • a structured draft reply
  • workload and priority-fit indicators
  • task capture options
  
  ✨ THE C.L.E.A.R. FRAMEWORK
  
  Every email is reviewed against five clarity elements:
  
  • Core Ask — what action is being requested?
  • Line in the Sand — is there a deadline?
  • End State — what does “done” look like?
  • Action Blockers — what information is missing?
  • Reconnect Point — when should follow-up happen?
  
  You can quickly see what is clear, what is missing, and whether clarification is needed before work starts.
  
  🔒 SEND & LOCK
  
  ClearTask drafts structured replies that:
  
  • confirm your understanding
  • clarify missing details
  • propose deadlines or next steps
  • surface workload trade-offs where relevant
  
  When you use “Send & Lock,” the drafted reply is copied to your clipboard for you to paste into Gmail manually.
  
  ClearTask also saves an agreement record locally in your browser, including:
  
  • task details
  • deadlines
  • end state
  • reconnect date
  • surfaced trade-offs
  • timestamp
  
  This creates a searchable record of agreements and commitments.
  
  ⚖️ CAPACITY & WORKLOAD VISIBILITY
  
  ClearTask can:
  
  • review existing commitments before accepting new work
  • flag possible workload conflicts
  • surface trade-offs in drafted replies
  • show priority-fit indicators
  • track commitments across different life areas
  
  📊 LIFE BALANCE DASHBOARD
  
  Track commitments across:
  
  • Work
  • Life Admin
  • Relationships
  • Self
  
  See where tasks are accumulating and maintain visibility across responsibilities.
  
  📋 TASK CAPTURE
  
  Turn email requests into structured tasks you can move into your existing workflow system or calendar.
  
  📧 CURRENT SUPPORT
  
  Works with:
  
  • Gmail (mail.google.com)
  
  🔒 PRIVACY
  
  ClearTask only analyses emails when you manually click “Clarify” on an open email.
  
  It does not scan your inbox automatically in the background.
  
  Agreement records are stored locally in your browser.
  
  If using BYOK mode, your Claude or OpenAI API key is stored locally on your device.
  
  Please review the privacy policy before installing.
  
  💰 PRICING
  
  • Free: 5 hosted clarifications per month
  • Optional BYOK mode: use your own Claude or OpenAI API key
  • Pro: Included AI credits plus additional features
  
  
  🇬🇧 UK USERS
  
  Some users may choose to include ClearTask as part of an Access to Work discussion relating to workplace support software. Funding decisions depend on individual circumstances.

  The goal is not inbox zero.
  
  The goal is understanding what needs action, confirming what was agreed, and maintaining a clearer record when priorities change.
