Anyone here using ClickUp to work in a team? I think this would be a great intermediate to have multiuser experience linked to obsidians amazing local pkm … sync tasks is a good idea - but even better would be a file sync to doc. maybe with a frontmatter toggle?
what do you think? are there any other users out there using clickup and would be interested?
cheers, arne
We use ClickUp and would love a sync plugin. Mostly for tasks - the rest is gravy
How brave you feeling? 
Reddit user u/mrworkboots (not me!) has a an integration of sorts. Outlined in the comments here.
Full disclosure: I’ve not actually gotten around to trying it.
What I am actually using is the Custom Frames plugin with the ClickUp URL embedded. Which is good enough for me right now…
There is a plugin in beta for this sync GitHub - hokim-m/click-up-x-obsidian: Plugin to synchronize ClickUp in Obsidian notes
sadly i moved on from clickup to fibery … and now going back to obsidian …
Yeah. I was going to make one, forked from Todoist, as Clickups API is pretty easy to work with. Buttttt… I haven’t really gotten around to it.
fibery looks good! I’ll have to check it out. Why are you moving away from it?
I’ve used ClickUp for 3 years. It’s good. Its customisable, but I kinda felt it lacked more database features.
But, I did love its chrome extension and its reminder module and the phone app reminder, oh, and the email → taskcreate inList was amazing.
But, its docs were terrible, so I stuck with obsidian for docs.
I did feel that the task management could easily get over cooked/ out of hand / over complicated really quickly.
What it failed to do though, was prioritise and time block for me, yet, not remove / mess up the due dates. I.e. it needed a fully functional (shows up on the calendar etc) “do date.time”.
For this, I moved to reclaim.ai - worth checking out. bidirectional sync with google tasks makes things ‘simple’. BUT, a little too simple as it doesn’t support dependencies or subtasks (afaik).
fibery is amazing - i really love it. its a lot more work to setup though. as it can do really complex things. i love the look and the small details to make it really convenient to work with. their email and calendar integration is also useful.
im moving away because i want to have the data local on my machine and not rely on an online tool so much. and the project i was using it for is done for now.
i do really miss the interface and the structured data though - thats where i struggle the most with obsidian - there is simply no good way of structuring data on a page that looks good and is not a total mess when changing something later on … adding a field of data to the properties of a “class” for example - or renaming it … it that sense the real databases have a true benefit in my view. also nested properties is something that is really a mess in obsidian at the moment.
i do hope that they come up with a real database solution … that also provides a frontend editor so i can hand off data and can be sure another person can not mess a file up … thats my dream … haha
I’ve been using ClickUp for a while, and I love how customizable it is for different workflows. It would be great to see more integrations with tools like Obsidian to streamline processes even further.
If you’re exploring ClickUp, don’t forget to look into clickup discounts for teams, as they can help save some money while expanding your usage.
