Overview
ClickUp is an all-in-one project management and productivity platform that brings tasks, documents, whiteboards, chat, goals, time tracking, and AI into a single workspace. Founded in 2017 by Zeb Evans and Alex Yurkowski, the company is headquartered in San Diego, California. It positions itself as the "everything app" for work, aiming to replace separate tools like Asana, Trello, Jira, Notion, and Slack. The platform runs on web, desktop apps for Mac and Windows, mobile apps for iOS and Android, and a Chrome extension for browser-based task capture.
The workspace is built on a customizable hierarchy: spaces contain folders, which contain lists of tasks. Every task supports subtasks, custom fields, dependencies, checklists, comments, attachments, and time tracking. You can view work through 15+ views including list, board, calendar, timeline, Gantt chart, table, workload, and mind map. ClickUp Docs provides a built-in editor for wikis, SOPs, and meeting notes, all linked to tasks without leaving the platform.
ClickUp Brain is the platform's AI layer, and the current version is marketed as Brain² (Brain 2). It indexes your workspace data and connects to Slack, Google Drive, HubSpot, Notion, and Figma to find any file, message, or task in seconds. Brain generates task summaries, writes documents, creates action items from meeting notes, and answers natural-language questions about your projects. A notable 2026 addition is multi-model switching, letting you toggle between Claude, GPT, and Gemini with one click, each with full access to your workspace context.
ClickUp serves individuals through its Free Forever plan and scales to enterprise teams with HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 compliance, regional data residency, and white labeling. With a public roadmap and community voting, ClickUp ships new features at a rapid pace, making it one of the most actively developed project management tools in the market.
