Add ClickUp Widgets to Your Mobile Home Screen

ClickUp widgets on your mobile device home screen give you instant access to tasks, reminders, and productivity tools without opening the full app. This guide explains how to add, customize, and manage these widgets on iOS and Android so you can work faster and stay organized on the go.

Follow the step-by-step instructions below to start using widgets and make the most of your mobile workspace.

What Are ClickUp Mobile Widgets?

On supported devices, you can:

• Open a specific task or list directly from the widget
• Trigger quick actions like creating tasks or reminders
• Stay updated without fully opening the app

The exact options available depend on your mobile operating system and app version.

Before setting up widgets, confirm the following:

• You are using a compatible mobile device (iOS or Android)
• The latest version of the app is installed
• You are signed in to your workspace
• Notifications and permissions are configured as needed

Keeping the app updated ensures the widget options and behavior match current features described in the official documentation on the support page.

Best Practices for Using ClickUp Widgets

To get the most value from widgets, consider the tips below.

• Prioritize active work: Configure the widget to show a list of tasks due today or this week.
