Dedicated Chat Desktop App
Rodel Villanueva
Would love to have a separate chat desktop app so it is more user friendly. I usually use web browser for clickup so I can open multiple tabs but when I received chats I need to use other tab for the chat though this might be a work around but I think it will be better to separate it as a desktop app. This might resolve the ring notifications and task bar notifications. I know this is connected already to boards/list but hope you consider this as well.

If I want to leave WhatsApp and have the clickup chat for this, but I can't implement it until we have a separate application.

Separate Chat app

I find it very enjoying to have to leave the task/list I’m currently working on to read or answer a chat message. One solution could be to have a separate app for just the chat. So you can chat and work more fluently.
On web I have set it up with a web-app in a separate window. So I can have it easy accessible for parallel workflows. But not as easy on mobile…

Not receiving chat notifications on desktop. Need a separate Chat app.

I have all of the notifications set to on both in the Clickup desktop app and my mac's settings, but I don't get any notifications, chat or otherwise, on my desktop. I only get them on my mobile.
As others have requested, having a separate notification sound for chat would be great. Even better would be a separate Chat App, so that when I click a task link it opens in my main Clickup window, not in my chat window. You really need a separate experience.

I need this as well. I won't leave GCHAT unless we get a desktop app. Adding dedicated emails for sending things to chat spaces was HUGE. But I can't reliably get notifications for chat messages if I have to be sure Clickup is always open.

Totally agree. It really bothers me when I'm working/planning some feature in some space, receive an important message, go to the chat and when I realize I just lost where I was. It is very annoying!

Totally agree! A dedicated desktop app for ClickUp Chat is a must to switch from Slack to ClickUp Chat.
A web-app in a browser is just too unstable for chat functionalities; especially notifications do not work reliable in web-apps.
Also, if you want to have stable video calls with screen sharing, this will work only reliable on a Mac/ Windows app that is deeply integrated in the operating system.

Sven Zimmermann Totally agree. I need the chat to be outside of clickup browser tabs, like Slack is. Many times we are chatting about things that are not in ClickUp at all. The improving but ever present issues with the ClickUp webapp not syncing, not updating, needing a manual refresh, etc. would make live conversations a nightmare.

Thanks for the feedback here. Can you help me understand the specific flows you are taking that this would help with? Are you switching between chats and tasks, chats and docs, etc.

Joey I also use Chat like this. On desktop, I have a separate browser window open just for Chat so I can have parallel workflows and jump between Chats and tasks, without having to leave Chat.
On mobile, it’s annoying because only one workflow is possible:
- Read a Chat message.
- Navigate to the task, doc, etc. referenced in the Chat.
- Make comments, adjustments, edits, etc. to said task, doc, etc.
- Navigate back to Chat.
- Find the message thread you were in previously to continue the conversation.
For some things this is manageable, for other things, this is quite a lengthy process and would be much easier to have a separate Chat app for mobile to switch between Chats and tasks, docs, as quickly as the desktop version (when using Chat in a dedicated browser window)
