Project management is complex enough without switching between multiple tools for time tracking, document collaboration, goal setting, reporting, communication, and all the elements at play at any given time. ClickUp aims to simplify that by consolidating those functions into one cloud-based platform. This all-in-one approach to workplace productivity focuses on giving time back to employees in efficiency gains, and the startup has made an impression on the industry, raising $400 million last year.

Available as both a desktop and mobile app, ClickUp offers a unified view of your project management landscape. The creators have incorporated unique teamwork capabilities, including shared whiteboards, and the ability to record video in the app.

The app features integration with many popular services, such as Slack and GitHub, as well as a robust application programming interface for custom solutions. The document management function can import Microsoft Word, G Suite, and Open Office documents, enabling you to streamline management of existing coursework or onboarding documents.
