Vague emails cost you energy.
Moving goalposts cost you more.
ClearTask decodes vague emails, sends a reply that locks what was agreed, and protects your capacity when priorities shift. One click. The sender does the clarifying — not you.
The goal isn’t inbox zero. It’s knowing what was asked, locking what’s agreed, and having the record when goalposts move.

The cost of vague communication isn’t time.
It’s what happens when you can’t prove what was agreed.
of workplace tasks have no clear deadline
So when it’s “late,” whose fault is it? The person who never set a date — or the person who didn’t ask for one?
per day spent on email
If even 20 minutes of that is rereading, decoding, and composing careful replies to vague asks — that’s 7 hours a month. Gone.
record of what was actually agreed
No documented deadline. No confirmed scope. Just a memory of a conversation that two people remember differently.
You: “Follow up” how? By when? Five months later your manager asks “was that not a priority?” — but nobody said it was a priority at the time. No record. No defence.
📌 Core Ask: “Follow up” and “get something moving” are not specific actions
📅 Deadline: ❌ Missing
💬 Reply ready: “I’ll email their contact to propose a catch-up call by Friday. To fit this in, I’ll push the quarterly report review to next week — flag if you’d rather I prioritise that.”
🔒 Agreement locked on send
You: One click. Reply sent. Agreement documented. When priorities shift, you’ve got the record.
Three protection layers.
One click to activate all three.
Know exactly what’s being asked
ClearTask scores every email against five clarity elements: Core Ask, Line in the Sand (deadline), End State (what done looks like), Action Blockers, and Reconnect Point. You see what’s clear, what’s vague, and what’s missing — in seconds.
Send a reply that locks the agreement
The reply confirms what you understood, proposes deadlines where none existed, surfaces trade-offs, and sets a check-in point. One click to send. The sender’s silence means agreement. That’s your documented record.
See the real cost of every new ask
When a new task arrives, ClearTask shows what you’d need to move to make room — and includes it in your reply. Your manager sees capacity, not excuses. Existing commitments don’t silently slip.
Smart inbox flagging Coming Soon
ClearTask will scan your inbox in the background and flag emails that look ambiguous — including autonomy traps (“see what you think”) and goalpost signals (“as we discussed”) — before you even open them. Zero API cost. All processing happens locally in your browser.
Same inbox. Different outcomes.
Before: You reread it three times, still aren’t sure what’s being asked
After: A clarity score tells you instantly if you can act or need to clarify first
The C.L.E.A.R. framework checks five elements in every email. You see what’s present and what’s missing — in seconds, not minutes.
Before: You reply “sure, I’ll sort it” — and there’s no record of what “it” was
After: Every reply locks a specific agreement with a timestamp
Task, deadline, format, trade-offs — all confirmed in writing. When priorities shift, you’ve got documentation, not a he-said-she-said.
Before: You say yes, then silently drop something else to make room
After: Your reply names the trade-off — so the sender makes the call
“To fit this in, I’ll move X to next week — flag if you’d rather I prioritise that.” Your manager sees capacity, not excuses.
Before: You’re told “I thought you were handling that” in a meeting
After: You pull up the agreement log and show exactly what was agreed
Date, scope, deadline, what you deprioritised to make room. All searchable. All timestamped. All from one click per email.
Less cognitive fuel burned.
More energy for the work that matters.
Neuroaffirming by design
Built by a neurodivergent founder with ADHD, OCD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. No shame, no deficit framing. If vague emails drain you — this does the decoding so you don’t have to.

Privacy-first, always
Your emails are processed in your browser and sent to the AI — never through our servers. Agreement records stay on your device. We don’t see your data.
I used to reread emails five times before I understood what was being asked. Then I’d do the work, and the goalposts would move. ClearTask doesn’t just decode — it locks what was agreed. That changed everything.

The maths.
The average knowledge worker earns £35,000–£55,000. That’s roughly £18–28 per hour.
If vague emails cost you just 20 minutes a day — rereading, decoding, composing careful replies, chasing missing details — that’s 7+ hours a month.
7 hours × £20/hr = £140/month in lost productivity. And that’s before you count the cost of a single misunderstood commitment: the missed deadline, the awkward meeting, the performance review where someone says “I thought you were handling that.”
ClearTask Pro costs £7/month. One decoded email pays for itself. Everything after that is time — and energy — you get back.

C.L.E.A.R. stands for Core Ask, Line in the Sand (deadline), End State, Action Blockers, and Reconnect Point. It’s a proprietary framework by Ruth-Ellen Danquah that scores every email 1–5 on clarity and identifies exactly what’s missing. The framework is backed by research from Harvard Business School, Michigan State, and Google’s Project Aristotle.
Every reply ClearTask drafts confirms what was understood, proposes deadlines, and states any trade-offs. When you send it, that becomes a timestamped record of what was asked and what you committed to. If priorities change later, you have documentation — not a he-said-she-said. It’s the same thing a good project manager does when they send a “just confirming from our call” email. ClearTask automates that instinct.
No. AI is included in both the free and Pro plans — there’s nothing else to set up. If you’re a developer or power user who prefers to use your own Claude or OpenAI API key, you can switch to BYOK mode in Settings for unlimited decodes.
Pro gives you 300 email decodes per month (free plan is 5/day), plus the full capacity system: searchable agreement log, trade-off surfacing in replies, Life Balance Dashboard, capacity warnings, task export, and priority support. AI costs are included — no separate bill.
Yes. Your emails are processed locally in your browser and sent directly to the AI provider you choose. We never see, store, or have access to your email content. Agreement records are stored locally on your device.
