No context switch
One shortcut works from Figma, Xcode, Slack, or any app. No Dock icon, no new browser tab — just a popover from your menubar.
Lives in your menubar · ⌥⇧Space from any app
ClickUp lives in your menubar now.
Press a shortcut from any app. Type the task, set the fields, hit ⌘⏎. Back to work in seconds.

This is the actual app, rebuilt in your browser — click around, it all works.
Complete intake
Status, assignee, custom fields, and attachments go in on create — not in a follow-up comment three hours later.
Same popover, two jobs
Create tab for capture. Tasks tab for triage. One menubar icon covers both.
Capture
Every task lands with the right list, owner, and custom fields.
Open the task window from the menubar without leaving Figma, Xcode, or Slack. Pick a list, fill in the fields, and write a description — the same ones your team already uses in ClickUp.
- Search your workspace to pick a list — it remembers your last one
- Set status, assignee, due date, priority, tags, and custom fields right in the task window
- Close the popover by accident? Your draft is still there.
This is the real UI — press Autoplay or click the menubar icon and try it.
Bulk create
Add ten tasks as fast as one.
Switch the task window to bulk mode. Type one task per line, and every line shares the same list and fields you set once.
- One task per line — no repeating the list, status, or fields
- Set the fields once and every line in the batch uses them
- If one line fails to create, retry just that line instead of starting over
One shortcut, ten tasks, zero repeated fields — type a few lines yourself.
Templates
Save your setup once. Reuse it every time.
Save a template with your list, status, priority, tags, and custom fields. Switch templates in one click, fill in just what's different this time, and everything else carries over automatically.
- Quick-switch between templates from a dropdown — no retyping fields you've already set
- Fill in only what's different this time; the rest comes straight from the template
- Apply a template before you type, or auto-apply one on the screenshot shortcut
Set it up once. Every new task starts pre-filled — pick a template from the chip.
Screen Recording
Record your screen. It's already on the ticket.
Hit record — screen, facecam, and voice, just like Loom. Stop recording, and it's already attached to the task. No separate app, no re-uploading, no extra work.
- Screen, facecam, and voice recording, built right into the task window
- Need just a screenshot? One shortcut captures it, attaches it, and opens the task window
- Already have a file? Paste with ⌘V or drag it in
- Uploads happen right after you create the task, with automatic retry if the network drops
This is the real UI — press Autoplay or hit the record button and try it.
Storage
Say goodbye to storage limits — and storage cleanup.
Screenshots and screen recordings eat through ClickUp's storage fast. Send them to Cloudinary, Cloudflare R2, or Google Drive instead — ClickUpBar uploads there first and adds a link to the task. No more limits, no more cleanup.
- Choose a storage provider once in Settings — Cloudinary, Cloudflare R2, or Google Drive
- Files go to your storage first, then a link is added to the task automatically
- Your keys stay on your Mac, and Google Drive only ever sees the files this app creates
Store attachments with
External providers upload files before task creation and insert viewable links into the task description. ClickUp stores files as native attachments.
Attachments upload directly to ClickUp when you create a task.
No limits. No cleanup. Just a link on the task — switch providers in Settings.
Tasks
A quick view to manage every task, right from the menubar.
See what's overdue, due today, and later — all from the menubar. Search across your tasks, copy a Git branch name, update the status, or mark it complete, without opening ClickUp.
- Search by task name, ID, list, assignee, or status — right from the menubar
- Mark a task complete or change its status inline
- Copy a ready-made Git branch name for any task
- Snooze a task to tonight, tomorrow morning, or next Monday
Overdue, due today, and later — search, snooze, and complete tasks right here.

FAQ
Questions people actually ask.
What does ClickUpBar do?
It's a small app that lives in your Mac menubar. Hit a shortcut from anywhere, write the task, send it to ClickUp — or check what's due today without opening ClickUp in the browser.
Do I need a ClickUp account?
Yep. First launch asks for your ClickUp personal API token (ClickUp → Settings → Apps). That's how it talks to your workspace.
Which Macs work?
macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. If you want screen recording with your voice on it, you'll need macOS 15.
macOS says it can't verify the app. Now what?
Normal for now — we're not on the App Store yet. In Applications, right-click ClickUpBar → Open → Open again. One-time thing.
Can I make a bunch of tasks at once?
Yes. Flip the window to bulk mode, one task per line. Same list and fields for all of them.
Custom fields and templates?
Supported. Status, assignee, due date, priority, tags, custom fields — set them in the window and save the combo as a template if you reuse it.
Will this fill up my ClickUp storage?
Only if you keep attaching files there. In Settings → Attachments you can send uploads to Cloudinary, Cloudflare R2, or Google Drive instead. We drop a link on the task. Missing a provider you need? Tell us.
Is it free?
Task capture stays free. Pro stuff (screen record, bulk create, multiple accounts, external storage) you can try for 7 days — verify any email in the app. After that it's $10 Individual or $30 Team. Details are in Pricing above.
I bought a plan. How do I turn Pro on?
Individual: Settings → License, paste the key you got after purchase. Team: you buy once for the company; each person verifies their @company.com email in Settings → License. No personal keys for Team.
Do I pay again for updates?
No. Buy once — future app updates are free. No subscription for the Mac app.
Is my license the same as my ClickUp login?
No. License = trial email, Team work email, or Individual key (Pro on this Mac). ClickUp token = which workspace you write tasks into. Switch ClickUp accounts whenever — your license doesn't move with them.
Do you collect any of my data?
Your ClickUp token and storage keys stay on the Mac. We talk straight to ClickUp (and whatever storage you picked). The one thing we keep on our side is your email — when you verify it in the app for a trial or Team — so we can run licensing and send the emails that go with that (codes, trial reminders). That's it. Google Drive only sees files ClickUpBar creates.
