Vague emails cost you energy.
Moving goalposts cost you more.
ClearTask decodes vague emails, drafts a reply that tracks what was agreed, and helps you protect 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, tracking what’s agreed, and having the record when goalposts move.
Available on the Chrome Web Store · 5 free clarifications/month · No card required
The cost of vague communication isn’t just time.
It’s what happens when there’s no record of what was agreed.
Many workplace tasks land without one
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?
Email is a major drain on knowledge work
Research consistently shows email takes hours per day. If even part of that is rereading, decoding, and composing careful replies — that’s energy you don’t get back.
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 tracked 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 tracks 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. That’s your documented record of what was asked and what you committed to.
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
This is a planned future feature and is not included in the current Chrome extension. In v3.1.1, ClearTask only analyses an open Gmail email when you manually click “Clarify.”
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 creates a documented record of what was agreed
What was understood, agreed, deprioritised, and expected — 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.
Documented record by default
ClearTask creates a documented record of what was understood, agreed, deprioritised, and expected — before work begins. That’s your evidence trail when goalposts move.
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.
