The ClickUp alternative that is actually all-in-one.
ClickUp promises one app for everything and gets dense fast. Cloudairy keeps the project side focused — eight views, dependencies, story points, timesheets — and genuinely includes the whiteboard, the docs and the screen recorder rather than approximating them.

All-in-one, without the sprawl.
The problem with an app that does everything is finding the part you need. Cloudairy keeps the board simple and puts the other work — diagrams, documents, recordings — in purpose-built surfaces beside it.
A board you can hand to anyone
Columns, cards, assignees, due dates, priorities and labels, with seven more views on the same tasks when you need them — not forty settings before you start.
Sprints and story points, properly
Sprints and backlog, story points, components and an issues tab per task, plus retrospectives — the agile depth engineering teams actually ask for.
Real diagramming, not a sketch pad
An infinite canvas with cloud-architecture shape libraries, flowcharts, UML and ER diagrams — the diagramming is a first-class product, not a checkbox.

Everything you'd expect from a screen recorder
Cloudairy Clips covers the full recording workflow — capture, share, transcribe and measure — then turns any recording into work.
And the part a recorder can't do: every recording can become a knowledge-base doc, a diagram on a board, or project action items — without leaving Cloudairy.
From screen to shipped — in three steps.
Record your screen
Hit record on any tab or your whole screen, with webcam and voice. No download to get started.
Turn it into work
The same recording becomes a knowledge-base doc, a diagram, and action items — inside your Cloudairy workspace.
Share & assign
Send an instant link, see who watched with per-viewer analytics, and assign the tasks — all in one place.
Everything ClickUp bundles — with diagramming that stands on its own.

The verdict: ClickUp and Cloudairy agree on the goal — one workspace instead of five. They differ on what "all-in-one" includes. ClickUp's whiteboard is a sketch surface; Cloudairy's is a full diagramming product with AWS, Azure and GCP shape libraries, flowcharts, UML and ER diagrams, plus AI that turns text into architecture. If your team draws systems as well as tracking tasks, that is the deciding difference.
One recording, many jobs done.

Good to know
Is Cloudairy a good ClickUp alternative?
Yes, particularly if ClickUp feels heavier than your team needs. You get eight view types, dependencies, story points, sprints and timesheets on the project side, and a genuine diagramming product — not a basic whiteboard — beside it.
What does Cloudairy do that ClickUp can't?
Real diagramming. Cloudairy has cloud-architecture shape libraries for AWS, Azure and GCP, flowcharts, UML, ER and network diagrams, and AI that generates architecture from a text description. AI board building and per-task AI generation are included rather than metered as a separate add-on.
How do I move from ClickUp to Cloudairy?
Start from a matching board — Project Task Board, Sprint Board, Bug Tracker, Recruitment Pipeline, Sales Pipeline or Weekly Planner — or describe the project and let AI build it. Statuses, assignees, dates, priorities, labels and custom fields map across.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, free forever with no credit card: three editable items across boards, docs and projects, Kanban and List views, unlimited team members, real-time collaboration, monthly AI credits and the template library. Paid plans start at $8 per member a month.
Which plan do I need for workload and timesheets?
Business. It adds workload across the team, cross-project dashboards, goals, timesheets and logged hours, and roles, permissions and guest access. Starter covers Timeline, Calendar and Gantt views plus sprints, backlog, retrospectives and dependencies.
