We Built a ClickUp Replacement Inside SharePoint and It Actually Works

Nine views. A live dashboard. Goals, Workload tracking, and rich Project Notes. All inside a single SharePoint web part. No extra licenses, no data leaving your Microsoft 365 environment.

Most Microsoft 365 organisations are paying for ClickUp or Asana on top of their M365 licenses.

• SharePoint for files. Teams for chat. Then a completely separate paid tool just to manage tasks.
• Your project data sits on someone else's servers, under someone else's security policies, renewed every month.
• Another monthly invoice. Another vendor login. Another tool your team has to adopt.

It does not look like SharePoint at all#

The left sidebar organises your Spaces, Projects, and Lists. The top bar has global search, a Create button, dark mode toggle, and notifications. It feels like a dedicated SaaS product, because it is built to that standard.

The app ships with nine view types and lets you save custom views like "My open work" or "Sprint 5 burndown" that persist for each user: Board, List, Calendar, Table, Gantt, Mind map, Whiteboard, Dashboard and Saved views.

Board view, with real drag and drop#

Tasks flow through six status columns: Backlog, To Do, In Progress, In Review, Done, and Cancelled. Each card shows the assignee avatar, due date, priority flag, tags, and a unique task ID.

Drag a card between columns and the status updates instantly in SharePoint Lists behind the scenes. Subtasks are supported inline. The Done column shows 30 completed tasks with a clean strikethrough so your history stays visible without creating noise.

List and Calendar for every working style#

Not everyone thinks in columns. The List view gives you a spreadsheet layout with Task, Status, Priority, Assignees, and Due columns grouped by status. Status pills are colour-coded and editable inline.

The Calendar view renders a full monthly grid with tasks appearing on their due dates as coloured bars. Deadline clusters become visible before they become problems. Both views read from the same SharePoint data with no sync required.

Gantt chart for project timelines#

The Gantt view plots every task on a horizontal timeline with Day, Week, Month, and Auto fit controls. Task bars are colour-coded to their status. A Dependencies button maps task relationships.

Our live instance shows the full Listique360 development roadmap running from June through August. We are managing the build of this product inside the product itself.

Mind map for visual thinkers#

The Mind map view renders all tasks as connected node cards, with subtasks branching out as children. Forty-five tasks with nested subtasks all visible at once.

Sprint planning, brainstorming, and project scoping all feel natural here. It is the fastest way to see how work is connected across an entire list.

The Dashboard, where leadership gets their answer in ten seconds#

This is the view that makes people stop and say "wait, that is inside SharePoint?" Five dashboard tabs: Executive, Team, Sprint Ops, My dashboard, and Goals.

• Executive tab. Alerts panel, four KPI cards with trend lines, Status pie chart, Goal progress rings, and a 14-day Created vs Completed activity chart.
• Team tab. Top contributors leaderboard, Workflow funnel from Backlog to Done, and a 14-day activity heatmap per team member.
• Sprint Ops tab. Sprint burndown chart against ideal line, velocity tracking across the last five sprints, and story-point totals. Every number live from SharePoint Lists.

Goals with auto-rolled progress#

Goals are workspace-wide OKRs. Progress rolls up automatically from linked tasks. No copy-pasting numbers into a spreadsheet every week.

Each goal carries a status (On Track, Off Track, At Risk or Achieved), an owner, a date range, and a linked task count.

Workload view, spot overload before it becomes a resignation#

Logged hours per user across a 14-day rolling window. Managers see at a glance who is carrying too much before it becomes a problem.

Project Notes, linked directly to tasks#

Every list has a Project Notes section with a full rich text editor. Bold, Italic, H1, H2, inline code, checklists, image embeds, and a slash command menu with Highlight, Badge, Drawing, and Embed options.

Notes link to tasks at the bottom. An architecture note can have T-00002 and T-00009 linked right there, so context and execution always live together. Sprint retros, meeting notes, and technical decisions all go here. No more lost OneNote pages or Teams chat threads no one can find later.

What it is built on#

Everything runs on the standard Microsoft 365 stack. No external databases. No Azure SQL. No third-party services.

What is coming next#

Phase 2 includes React 18 and Fluent UI v9, a Table view with inline editing, a Command palette with keyboard shortcuts, drag-to-rebalance in Workload, and new dashboard widgets.

We are also preparing a public AppSource listing so any Microsoft 365 environment can deploy Listique360 in minutes. Before that, we are bringing in five design partners to run it in their environment and shape the roadmap. If that sounds like your organisation, reach out now.

Listique360 vs ClickUp, feature by feature#

ClickUp is a great product. But every feature below is something your team already needs, and Listique360 delivers it inside the Microsoft 365 environment you already pay for.

What you actually save over 12 months#

ClickUp Business costs $12 per user per month. ClickUp Business Plus costs $19 per user per month. Both are billed annually. Listique360 runs on your existing Microsoft 365 license. The math is straightforward.

The only requirement to run Listique360 is a Microsoft 365 Business Basic license per user. That is the same license your team already needs for email, Teams, and calendar. It starts at $6 per user per month and most organisations already have it. You are not buying anything new. You are just using more of what you already paid for.
