FAQ

How is Cleariest different from Slack?

Cleariest prioritizes transparency and focus over constant engagement. We default to public channels, include Deep Work Mode to batch notifications, and use AI to summarize long threads so you don't have to scroll endlessly.

Can I try Cleariest for free?

Yes. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Pick your tier when you create a workspace and try public-first communication, Deep Work Mode, and AI catch-up with your whole team.

How does Deep Work Mode actually work?

When Deep Work Mode is enabled, Cleariest pauses notifications and batches updates until you are ready. Senders can still interrupt when needed by providing a reason.

Is Cleariest secure?

Yes. Cleariest uses HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit, OAuth-based authentication via a secure identity provider, JWT authentication, and Row Level Security for workspace isolation.
