Clickup runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 1 093 installs a week from npm. Last commit 1 Nov 2026.
Premium AI integration. Tasks, lists, docs, folders, time. 50+ tools. Instant setup.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Clickup every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
