Work in one place
Keep tasks, projects, calendar, and goals together in one workspace.
Project management without the clutter
The calm ClickUp alternative
ClickUp can support a wide range of workflows. For some teams, that breadth means more fields, statuses, dashboards, and settings than their everyday work needs. ClearSpace takes a more focused approach: a calm workspace for tasks, projects, calendar, and goals, designed to get you working without extensive configuration.
