All features

Tasks, Docs, Chat, Whiteboards, and Goals all live inside one workspace instead of separate apps

Over 15 views, including List, Board, Calendar, Gantt, and Table, so each team can work the way it prefers

Custom statuses and custom fields let you shape ClickUp around your own workflow instead of a fixed template

Automations handle repetitive steps, like moving a task or notifying someone when a status changes

ClickUp Brain is the built-in AI assistant that can summarize tasks, draft updates, and answer questions using your workspace's own data

Native time tracking and timesheets, so you don't need a separate app to log hours

Goals and Portfolios roll individual tasks up into bigger targets so leadership can see progress at a glance

Dashboards turn your team's work into charts and reports without needing a separate BI tool

Whiteboards give you a shared canvas for brainstorming that connects directly to real tasks

50+ native integrations plus Zapier and Make support, so it plugs into tools you already use

Available on web, desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux), and mobile, with the same feature set everywhere

Enterprise plan adds SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, audit logs, and support for HIPAA agreements
