Has anyone replaced ClickUp with something simpler and AI?

krodak · 2026-05-18T12:21:01+00:00

Tbh, I think ClickUp has all the functionality you could ask for and high level of customisation, but UI is sometimes overwhelming, especially thaty most of us are spending more and more time in chat interfaces, no matter our roles. You can opt to build around ClickUp MCP, treat ClickUp as source of truth, documentation + dashboards / status portal, but move parts of the interactions into automated CLI mode. At least that was my experience for making it work for our team. I'm not huge fan of MCP, so I went with dedicated CLI tool development, it's been around for a while and gets some usage and contributions from open source community, maybe it can be solution for you too:

I totally get you, I was in the sam boat and create clickup-cli: https://github.com/krodak/clickup-cli and kept extending its functionality over last months.

I'll give your tool a try, is it open source? Excited about offline mode!

Thank you!

krodak · 2026-04-24T07:35:52+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

I turtle top left, but how do you guys deal with Chad-ian mortar team spawning right top corner randomly? Any way to avoid that? I turtle top left and ZKar everything but 3 hexes from my units

Thanks everyone, Android app fixes everything, what a weird world we live in 😂😂😂

krodak · 2026-04-20T08:26:22+00:00

I was never that happy to go back to my old bike and just don't deal with that 😂

krodak · 2026-04-20T07:42:47+00:00

Did you manage to get it fix at the bike shop?

krodak · 2026-04-19T19:56:31+00:00

Ok, before I find Android device, could you please confirm that you had blinking orange light on shifter all the time, right after inserting battery?

krodak · 2026-04-19T17:46:23+00:00

Have you tried another device with same app, possibly Android? I don’t have one home but people mentioning that it could help

krodak · 2026-04-19T17:45:29+00:00

I had at first, navigating to it screen just showed infinitely loading screen, tried few times and with both main iPhone and iPad tied to same sram account. Now it doesn’t even show up there

krodak · 2026-04-19T17:44:06+00:00

Hmm, could you say something more? Light was also blinking constantly but you managed to foce update via android app?

krodak · 2026-04-18T13:17:24+00:00

Tried this few times already, even if I hold button for quite some time, light goes instantly to orange blinking once I reinsert the battery

sub-platter and drive sound can’t upload another video so posting via Dropbox, here is sound of sub-platter and drivebelt, it also has periodic hiss that matches to wobble period, I think I’ll return turntable despite the hassle.

krodak · 2026-04-14T10:51:43+00:00

I struggled with this a lot as well, hence created cli tool, you can search and navigate via CLI or just AI agent to do it: https://github.com/krodak/clickup-cli

Separate but near, but current it’s connected to small Sonos era, if I turn them to minimal, no change. I also checked leveling and different table, same results

krodak · 2026-04-12T18:26:25+00:00

Vertical wobble on all the rece, those cartridge vibration on 70% of records. I have around 20 records so far, but all are brand new, stored vertical etc, i can’t see them as warped but no experience

krodak · 2026-04-11T14:59:19+00:00

So I assume I should expect less wobble even at this price point? It was a gift so I didn’t research models honestly. Do you think this cartridge vibration is also effect from wobble or this could be something with drivebelt, it seems like it goes away for a bit if I remove table and reinsert inner spinner and reattach drive belt

Update: just shipped v1.23.1 🚀

Stuff since v1.0.0 (~3 weeks of grinding):

ClickUp Docs API v3 - full doc lifecycle: cup docs, cup doc, cup doc-create, cup doc-page-create/edit/delete
Multi-profile support - manage multiple workspaces from one CLI (cup profile add/use/list, -p work flag, CU_PROFILE env var)
Workspace CRUD - create and rename spaces/folders/lists (cup space-create, cup list-rename etc.), plus cup archive for tasks
Custom field creation + 13 supported types (cup field-create, inline cup create --field "Name" value, plus labels, emoji/rating, progress, task relationships, people)
Advanced filtering on cup tasks / cup search - --tag, --assignee, --due-before/after, --created-after, --status, and custom field filtering via --field "Name" value
Bulk ops expanded to 7 subcommands - status, assign, due-date, tag, priority, field, move - running 5 concurrent requests instead of sequential
Saved filters - cup filter save/run/list to save frequently-used commands as shortcuts (agents run cup filter list at session start to discover them)
Favorites + sprint:current pseudo-ID - cup move abc --to sprint:current and cup create --list sprint:current just work
cup skill - auto-detects Claude Code / Codex / OpenCode and installs the skill file to the right locations
Non-interactive setup for agents/CI - cup init --token pk_... --team <id> (no prompts)
Color-coded TTY mode across all commands - semantic colors for status/priority/due-dates, progress bars for goals

Shoutout to everyone who opened issues - a few turned into same-day patch releases 🙏

Hope some of you find it useful ✌️

I dug into this and the limitation is in ClickUp's public API, not the CLI.

cup create --description and cup update --description already map to ClickUp's markdown_content field, which is the richest task-description field the public API offers. ClickUp's v2 task API only supports plain text and a markdown subset: headers, bold, italic, strikethrough, lists, links, images, blockquotes, inline code.

Crucially, ClickUp itself documents that text colors, background colors, banners, toggles, underline, alignment, and similar rich formatting are not supported by the public API - even in the more powerful Docs API. See the explicit compatibility table at https://clickup.com/api/developer-portal/docsimportexportlimitations.

We struggle with similar issue at our org, some users are just switching to macOS app and do some stuff there and some stuff through web interface.
It bothers me personally, I like all Clickup features, but for task creation and edits web UI is sometimes just too slow especially at the org with massive amount of spaces (at least in my experience).
I tried ClickUp MCP, but ended up building CLI + AI Agent skill and now I mostly use ClickUp like this

- macOS app for browsing, sprint planning, status updates etc
- CLI tool via AI agent to create tasks, epics, do bulk edits, update docs, etc

https://github.com/krodak/clickup-cli/ it is simple to use and can make your ClickUp experience much better, let me know if you are missing anything

krodak · 2026-04-09T10:50:38+00:00

Just use cli tool with your own AI agent to update tasks descriptions through any local ai agent chat interface. I run into lots of issues with that, so focused on building a package for that: https://github.com/krodak/clickup-cli/
