The ClickUp Android app gives you a powerful way to manage tasks, documents, and workflows wherever you are. This step-by-step guide shows you exactly how to install, set up, and use key features so you can stay organized and productive on the go.

This how-to is based on the capabilities highlighted in the ClickUp AI apps for Android overview, and turns them into clear, actionable steps.

    • Use single sign-on if your workspace supports it.

  5. Select the workspace you want to join, or create a new one if you are just starting out.

Spaces are the highest level of organization in the app. They group projects, tasks, and docs by team or function.

  1. From the main screen, tap the workspace name at the top.

  2. Tap New Space or the plus icon.

  3. Name your Space, for example:

    • Marketing

  5. Set permissions so only the right people can access that Space.

  6. Save your Space to start adding Folders, Lists, and tasks.

Tasks are the core of your workflow. Use the ClickUp Android app to quickly capture and organize them.

    • Review

    • Complete

  3. Adjust custom fields (like budget, estimate, or channel) if your workspace uses them.

  4. Add comments to keep the full conversation inside the task.

4. Use ClickUp AI Features on Android

The Android app supports AI-powered assistance, inspired by the capabilities described in the ClickUp AI apps for Android overview. You can use it to draft content, summarize updates, and more.

4.1 Generate Task Descriptions with AI

5.2 Share Documents and Links

  1. Attach files to tasks by tapping the attachment icon.

  2. Choose files from your phone, cloud storage, or photos.

  3. Paste important links, such as strategy docs or reports, into the task description or comments.

  4. Use ClickUp Docs (if enabled) from the app to keep long-form content organized.

6. Customize Views in the ClickUp Android App

Views help you see tasks in a way that matches your workflow. While the mobile app is streamlined compared to desktop, you still have flexibility.

  • List view: See tasks in a simple vertical layout for quick scanning.

  • Board view: Drag tasks between columns to move them through stages.

  2. Tap the view selector at the top.

ClickUp fits into larger workflows across teams and tools, especially when combined with strong process design and automation.
