Clarence hasn’t shipped yet — the waitlist hears first, and early birds get the founding price for good.
Why it costs money
The honest version: apps like this are usually free because you’re the inventory — your contacts enriched, your graph sold, your attention farmed. Clarence can’t be that app. It reads the most personal data on your Mac, so its business model has to be the boring, trustworthy one: you pay for it, it works for you, the incentives point one direction.
A subscription, specifically, because Clarence earns its keep over time — the memory compounds, the rhythms sharpen, the drafts sound more like you. If a month goes by where it didn’t earn it, cancel. Everything it knows exports with you, readably.
What the trial is for
14 days is enough to feel the two moments that matter: the first time the rhythm graph shows you a friendship you didn’t know was fading, and the first time a reconnection you’d been putting off for months takes one edited draft and a click. If neither lands, Clarence isn’t for you, and that’s fine.
Everything lives on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is stored.
Read, then let go
When you ask for a draft, Clarence reads the recent thread, uses it, and discards it. It tells you when it’s gone. Your history is never copied anywhere.
You always press send
Clarence drafts; it never sends. There is one send path in the whole app, it requires your click, and every send is logged where you can see it.
No telemetry. None.
No analytics, no tracking, no crash reports with your words in them. We can’t see how you use Clarence, and we built it so we never can.
We published exactly how this works — including what could go wrong — in How Clarence treats your messages.
Be there when it opens
Clarence is being built in the open, for the Mac, right now. Leave your email and you’ll hear from us twice: once when the beta opens, once when it ships. Nothing else.
One plan, 14-day trial, no spam — ever.
