This is a massive risk to businesses.

I practically run my entire business on clickup, as do many others. If for whatever reason have an issue with the internet, all of my operational information is gone. All my SOP's, all my asset information, all my supplier information, all my staff information, all my contracts, all of my reference material for projects that i'm running. ... everything.

In a world where there is ample desktop storage on most PC"s and laptops to store this information, where net speeds are lightening quick and organisational bandwidth is relatively cheap It makes no sense that clickup can't supply an offline mode that allows people to periodically pull their content down to one or more local devices and have all of it accessible offline.

This is the only problem to date that has made me even consider an alternative to clickup.

Guys you need to fix this.

Completely agree with this. I just had a recent experience where, because I have an extremely long flight (30hrs), I want to be able to check my to-dos and work on a few of them. All I want, is to be able to access my entire "Life to do list" offline, not even edit it, just be able to read the tasks, their subtasks and the descriptions.

Apparently that's too much to ask...

I was advised to add some tasks to the Tray, but that's not really what I want to do...

I will add that, even in today's day and age, I've worked overseas in many countries where Internet access is not always present, and having an effective offline mode is important to me.

Agreed! Basically, we need everything to work and sync when reconnected. This may be difficult, however, because there may be conflicts and since the app is so robust, there may be many conflicts with the sync and cause errors. Lot's of development is needed. This cost resources.

Today, I put a lot of time into finding an alternative just because I can't work offline!

This is a MUST HAVE feature!!!

I'm surprised this is not a bigger deal for people. Just yesterday I was in a meeting, taking notes, and clickup just kicked me out and did it's whole endless refresh animation. My choices were, sit and wait for it to find internet again, or open a completely different note taking app... So then why pay for this one if it can't even allow me to type, which is surely the most basic thing a app should be able to do (especially on a laptop!!). If it just stayed open so I could write then that would have been one thing.. but it completely stops you from Doing anything on the windows desktop app. I hate to think what I would have done at that moment if someone asked me questions about meeting related information that I store on clickup... Sorry guys.... Can't participate in the meeting now... Just waiting for clickup to work again. It's a bit ridiculous.

I agree with the respondents here all asking for offline mode.

Without it, EVERYTHING in our process grinds to a halt.

With a software platform as robust as ClickUp, this seems to be a major drawback. Please put it on your roadmap.

For me there are 3 very good reasons why ClickUp should work in offline mode.

Use Case: I often work in environments with limited or no internet access, such as during flights, in remote areas, or in locations with unstable networks.

Impact: Offline functionality ensures that I can continue to access, edit, and update project information without disruptions, maintaining my productivity regardless of connectivity.

Use Case: I may need to work on sensitive projects where connectivity is restricted for security reasons (e.g. in a hotel), or when I am transitioning between online and offline scenarios (e.g. commuting).

Impact: Offline-first design allows us to work seamlessly with local data, with changes automatically synced to the cloud when connectivity is restored. This ensures that no progress is lost and that collaboration remains efficient.

Use Case: I depend on ClickUp for critical tasks and decision-making. If the system fails due to connectivity issues, it undermines our company's trust in the tool.

Impact: Offline functionality enhances reliability by guaranteeing that the tool is always accessible and usable. This improves user confidence and fosters long-term adoption by eliminating "downtime anxiety."

Please do something about this. You're adding new features all the time. Why is this functionality, which is crucial for so many users, still missing?

Because of the whole "having to click the edit button" thing, creating a Note/editing a Task Description/editing a Doc does not work when offline or in a bad signal area.

It's a huge, huge problem.

ClickUp NEEDS to work offline and in bad signal areas.

It should just sync changes when back online.

Every time I try to open click up for making a short note, but get stopped due to a connection error, I end up having to add the note to another program, and the whole idea of clickup fails. This might be a dealbreaker.
