Yes please make option to remove it. We don't need this menubar. Thank you so much!

This feature is essential for Linux users running Wayland (KDE Plasma/GNOME). The menu bar wastes valuable screen real estate and disrupts the clean, modern desktop experience we expect from native apps.
I've tried various Electron flags (--disable-menu-bar, --frame=false, etc.) but ClickUp appears to have disabled these customization options.
The two-bar UI (title + menu) looks outdated compared to modern apps that integrate everything into a single header. Please prioritize this for the desktop app - it's been "planned" since 2023 and would significantly improve the user experience on Linux systems.

In my opinion, the best solution for this feature is: by default, the menu bar is hidden (so we can have a bit more space for the main information). Then, on the ClickUp bar, you just add an icon that can show/hide the menu bar. The truth is that the menu bar is rarely used, so we don't need to see it all the time.

I would also like to see this upgraded. Native windows apps can be quite ugly. I want to use the native window app for ClickUp, because of how it integrates with the rest of my desktop, especially through the keyboard shortcuts. However, it just doesn't like nice with these two big bars at the top. I would love to see this implemented for ClickUp on Windows!

Would love this as well as the ability to make the top bar dark/color matched to user's selected theme instead of light.

Ivan Kanevski: Glad to hear it's on your radar. There's currently 2 areas of wasted space and UI ugliness, the menu bar and the title bar. Both should be integrated into the same bar as the search field, as can be seen with Asana and Todoist. Can you please clarify whether this will be the case, or are you only moving the menu bar?
Ivan Kanevski
Yes, we are planning to remove both bars.

Ivan Kanevski Is this still planned or has it been abandoned?

Ivan Kanevski Any updates on this? It's a big gripe with our windows users! Mac version looks so much better without it
Viktor

Yeah. It would be nice to hide menu bar in Windows desktop app. You do not need this in full screen mode.

Not only this, but in dark mode at least make the top bar dark too instead of being the only white bar on screen
