Use ClickUp on Your Apple Watch

You can use ClickUp on your Apple Watch to keep track of important reminders, quickly open tasks on your iPhone, and stay connected to your work without pulling out your phone. This guide walks you through enabling the integration, customizing notifications, and using the watch app effectively.

Getting Started with ClickUp on Apple Watch

The ClickUp Apple Watch experience is powered by the ClickUp Notifications app on your iPhone. Once notifications are enabled and configured, you can see and act on key work items right from your wrist.

Before you begin, make sure:

  • Your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS.
  • Your Apple Watch is paired with your iPhone and running the latest watchOS.
  • You have installed the ClickUp mobile app on your iPhone and are logged in.

Enable ClickUp Notifications for Apple Watch

To see ClickUp alerts on your watch, you first need to allow notifications on your iPhone and mirror them to your Apple Watch.

Step 1: Turn on ClickUp notifications in iOS

  1. On your iPhone, open the Settings app.
  2. Tap Notifications.
  3. Scroll down and tap ClickUp from the list of apps.
  4. Toggle Allow Notifications to the on position.
  5. Choose your preferred alert style (Lock Screen, Notification Center, Banners) and sound options.

With notifications enabled, your device can now send ClickUp alerts that can be mirrored to your watch.

Step 2: Mirror ClickUp notifications to Apple Watch

  1. On your iPhone, open the Watch app.
  2. Tap the My Watch tab if it is not already selected.
  3. Tap Notifications.
  4. Scroll down to the list of apps and find ClickUp.
  5. Make sure Mirror my iPhone (or the equivalent toggle for ClickUp) is turned on.

Once mirroring is enabled, new ClickUp alerts that appear on your iPhone will also appear on your Apple Watch, using the same notification style where supported.

Customize ClickUp Alerts on Apple Watch

Customizing alerts helps you focus on the most important ClickUp updates while avoiding unnecessary distractions on your watch.

Adjust ClickUp notification types on iPhone

Because the watch mirrors the phone, you should fine-tune which notifications ClickUp can send from your iPhone settings and inside the app itself.

  1. Open the ClickUp app on your iPhone.
  2. Go to the in-app settings or profile menu.
  3. Locate the Notifications or Notification Settings section.
  4. Choose which events should trigger notifications, such as:
  • New assigned tasks
  • Comments on tasks you follow
  • Reminders and due dates
  • Status changes or mentions

By enabling only the most relevant triggers, the ClickUp notifications that reach your Apple Watch will be focused and useful.

Manage ClickUp alerts from the Apple Watch

When a ClickUp notification appears on your Apple Watch, you can manage it directly:

  • Tap the notification to expand details.
  • Scroll to view more content if available.
  • Use quick actions when offered, such as dismissing the alert or opening it on your iPhone.

Managing alerts this way helps you triage ClickUp updates without leaving your current activity.

Use the ClickUp Apple Watch App

With notifications configured, you can take advantage of the dedicated ClickUp experience on your Apple Watch if available in your region and app version.

Open ClickUp from your Apple Watch

  1. Press the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch to open the app grid or list.
  2. Find and tap the ClickUp icon.
  3. Wait for the app to sync with your iPhone and load current data.

The watch app relies on your iPhone connection, so keep the phone nearby for the best experience.

View ClickUp reminders on your watch

Reminders are one of the most convenient features to access from the Apple Watch. When you set a reminder in ClickUp on your iPhone, supported reminders can show up on your wrist so you never miss key actions.

On the watch, you may be able to:

  • See upcoming reminders related to tasks.
  • Check which reminders are due soon.
  • Tap a reminder to trigger an action on your iPhone.

Exact features may vary depending on app version and updates, but reminders are designed to surface time-sensitive information quickly.

Open a ClickUp task on your iPhone from the watch

While the Apple Watch display is small, it can still act as a remote control for the full ClickUp experience on your phone.

  1. When a notification about a ClickUp task appears on your watch, tap it.
  2. Look for an action such as Open on iPhone or a similar option.
  3. Tap that action to instantly open the task in the ClickUp app on your iPhone.

This is useful when you receive an update, want more detail, or need to edit the task using the full mobile interface.

Tips for a Better ClickUp Apple Watch Experience

To get the most from ClickUp on your Apple Watch, follow these best practices.

Optimize notification volume from ClickUp

  • Review your ClickUp spaces and notification rules so only critical work sends alerts.
  • Mute non-essential lists, folders, or spaces in the ClickUp app if you receive too many updates.
  • Use iOS Focus modes and Apple Watch notification settings to control when ClickUp notifications appear, such as during meetings or quiet hours.

Maintain connectivity between iPhone and watch

Because the ClickUp experience depends on your iPhone, ensure that:

  • Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone.
  • Your Apple Watch remains within range of the iPhone, or is connected via Wi-Fi or cellular if supported.
  • The ClickUp app on your iPhone can run in the background and has the necessary permissions.

Stable connectivity helps keep ClickUp data refreshed on your Apple Watch.

  3. Ensure Do Not Disturb or Focus modes are not blocking alerts on the watch.
  4. Restart both your iPhone and Apple Watch.
  5. Open the ClickUp app on your iPhone to refresh the connection.

ClickUp app is missing or not opening on watch

  1. On your iPhone, open the Watch app.
  2. Tap My Watch and scroll to the list of available apps.
  3. Locate ClickUp and make sure it is installed to your Apple Watch.
  4. If needed, reinstall the ClickUp app on your iPhone from the App Store, then check again.
