This article is based on the official ClickUp documentation for time tracking on mobile. For the original reference, see the ClickUp help center page on tracking time on mobile.
Requirements to track time in ClickUp
Before you begin, make sure your Workspace is set up to use time tracking features in ClickUp.
- Time Tracking must be enabled in your Workspace settings.
- You need access to the Spaces, Folders, Lists, and tasks where you want to track time.
- The ClickUp mobile app should be installed and updated on your iOS or Android device.
Once these requirements are met, you can track time directly from your phone without needing the web app open.
Open tasks and views in the ClickUp mobile app
Time tracking in ClickUp mobile is always connected to specific tasks. First, you need to open the task where time will be tracked.
- Open the ClickUp mobile app on your device.
- Browse to the correct Space, Folder, and List.
- Tap the task you want to work on.
Inside the task, you will see time-related options that let you start timers or add time entries.
Use the ClickUp task timer on mobile
The built-in task timer makes it simple to track how long you spend working in ClickUp.
Start a timer in ClickUp
- Open the desired task in the ClickUp mobile app.
- Locate the time tracking or timer section in the task view.
- Tap the timer button to start tracking time.
The timer will begin counting in the background while you continue using your device or switch to another task.
Pause or stop a timer in ClickUp
- Return to the task where the timer is running.
- Tap the timer button again to pause or stop tracking.
- Confirm or edit the tracked time if prompted.
When you stop the timer, the time entry is saved to the task, and you can review or adjust it later from the task view or from reporting tools available in ClickUp.
Add manual time entries in ClickUp
If you forgot to start the timer or need to log work done offline, you can add time manually in ClickUp mobile.
- Open the appropriate task in the ClickUp app.
- Tap the time tracking section or the option to add time.
- Select the option to add a manual time entry.
- Enter the duration you worked or set a start and end time.
- Add a description or note if needed.
- Save the entry.
Manual entries are stored with the same task data as timer-based entries, so they will appear in time reports and logs across ClickUp.
Edit or delete tracked time on ClickUp mobile
Sometimes you may need to correct or remove a time entry in ClickUp.
Edit time entries in ClickUp
- Open the task that contains the time entry you want to change.
- Go to the list or history of tracked time in the task.
- Tap the specific time entry.
- Edit the duration, start or end time, or description.
- Save your changes.
Edits instantly update the total time tracked on the task and are reflected in any reports that use ClickUp time tracking data.
Delete time entries in ClickUp
- Go to the time tracking section of the task.
- Find the entry you want to remove.
- Tap the entry and choose the option to delete or remove it.
- Confirm the deletion.
Only remove entries you are sure you no longer need, since deleting tracked time can affect time reports and billing based on ClickUp data.

From the task view in ClickUp mobile, you can see how much time has been logged so far.
