How to Add ClickUp Widgets to Your Mobile Lock Screen

Using ClickUp on the go is easier when your most important work is visible at a glance. By adding ClickUp widgets to your iOS mobile lock screen, you can quickly open tasks, reminders, and more without unlocking your device or searching through apps.

This guide explains the types of widgets available, setup requirements, and step-by-step instructions to customize your lock screen so you can stay focused and productive.

Requirements for ClickUp Lock Screen Widgets

Before you add widgets, confirm you meet these basic requirements to ensure everything works correctly on your device.

• An iOS device that supports lock screen widgets.
• The latest version of the ClickUp mobile app installed from the App Store.
• Notifications and lock screen access enabled for the app in your device settings.

Once these requirements are met, you can begin adding widgets to your lock screen layout.

Available ClickUp Lock Screen Widgets

The ClickUp mobile app offers several widget options for the lock screen so you can access exactly what you need with one tap.

Small ClickUp Task Shortcut Widgets

Small widgets are ideal when you want a compact shortcut to specific features in ClickUp. These can be placed in the lock screen areas that support small widget slots.

Small widgets are available in several configurations, including:

• Task creation shortcuts.
• Quick access to your most recent tasks.
• Shortcuts to commonly used views or sections inside the app.

Use these when you prefer minimal visual clutter on the lock screen but still want instant access to key actions in ClickUp.

Large ClickUp Shortcuts Widget

The large shortcuts widget gives you a more detailed entry point to ClickUp right from the lock screen. This type of widget uses a larger area and can surface more options at once.

With a large widget, you can:

• Show multiple shortcuts to different ClickUp features.
• Quickly open recent or pinned spaces or lists.
• Access more than one workflow entry point from a single widget.

Choose the large widget if you want a more visible and flexible set of shortcuts that match your daily workflow.

How to Add ClickUp Widgets to Your Lock Screen

Follow these steps to place ClickUp widgets on your iOS lock screen. The exact interface may vary by iOS version, but the flow is generally the same.

1. On your iOS device, go to your lock screen and press and hold an empty area until the customization view appears.

2. Tap the Customize button that appears at the bottom of the screen.

3. If prompted, choose to customize the Lock Screen rather than the Home Screen.

4. Tap the Add Widgets area or the specific section where widgets are displayed.

5. Scroll the available widget apps list until you find ClickUp.

6. Tap ClickUp to open the widget options panel with different sizes and configurations.

7. Select the small ClickUp widget or the large ClickUp shortcuts widget depending on your layout preference.

8. Tap or drag the desired widget into the widget area on your lock screen preview.

9. Use the Done button in the top-right corner to save your updated lock screen.

After saving, the selected ClickUp widget will appear on your lock screen and can be used immediately.

Customize Your ClickUp Widget Experience

Once you have added widgets, you can fine-tune them to better match your daily work inside ClickUp. Available customization options may depend on your iOS version and the current app release.

Choosing the Right ClickUp Widget Size

Choosing the right size for your ClickUp widget helps ensure you see just the right amount of information without crowding the lock screen.

• Small widget: Best for users who want simple, single-action shortcuts.
• Large widget: Ideal for power users who want multiple entry points into ClickUp.

You can experiment with different sizes by returning to the customization screen and swapping one widget type for another.

Adjusting Widget Placement with ClickUp

Widget placement affects how quickly you can tap into ClickUp features. Consider the following tips when arranging widgets:

• Place ClickUp widgets in the most accessible area of the lock screen so you can reach them comfortably.
• Avoid placing too many widgets in one area to keep the lock screen easy to scan.
• Test the layout by locking your device and checking how the widgets appear with notifications.

If you use other productivity tools alongside ClickUp, balance your layout so that both sets of widgets are easy to access.

How to Use ClickUp Widgets from the Lock Screen

After configuration, you can use ClickUp widgets directly from the lock screen without navigating through the full app menu.

• Tap a shortcut in the widget to open the relevant section in ClickUp.
• Start tasks faster by jumping straight into task creation or a specific view.
• Review important work by opening recently viewed lists, spaces, or tasks.

Each interaction begins with a simple tap on the ClickUp widget, helping you move quickly from glance to action.

Managing and Removing ClickUp Lock Screen Widgets

You can change or remove widgets at any time as your workflow evolves.

1. Press and hold the lock screen to enter the customization view.

2. Tap Customize and choose the Lock Screen.

3. Tap the widget area, then tap the minus (-) icon on any ClickUp widget you want to remove.

4. Tap Done to save your updated configuration.

If you want to change the type or size of the widget, remove the current one, then add a new ClickUp widget using the steps described earlier.
