The desktop app currently feels like a thin web wrapper around the website rather than a real native app. Three main issues:

Performance – it's noticeably sluggish and uses far more RAM than it should.

No real multi-window support – if I'm in a SyncUp and want to check another task, opening a new window launches a completely separate, heavy session (basically another browser tab) instead of a lightweight second window that shares the same session.

No advantage over the browser – as it stands, there's little reason to install the app instead of just using clickup.com.

Slack is a good benchmark here: it's also fundamentally a web app, but it feels fast, seamless and native without draining system resources. I'd love to see the same level of care in the ClickUp desktop app.
