🌟 About Clew
The website Clew is a place to visualize, document, and archive everything work-related. It is like a digital brain where all of your work in different sources is compiled. This app is a central hub for workplace productivity. Clew catches the context of every idea or project, reveals what is needed, and preserves what is significant.
Indeed, Clew was created to impact the work lives of people by building tools that help them during the most stressful times. Since past tools have failed to catch up to how people work today, Clew is a better way to help you become more organized and do the best work of your life.
This app promotes flexibility, focus, momentum, productivity, and great experience. It gives you a better way to capture and organize work by making documentation, collaborating, and finding information easily.
🎁 What’s In It For You?
Clew allows you to quickly search across all of your tools. When everything is searchable and shareable from a single tool, there’s no need to sift through applications and files, making you save more time and effort. Instead of having to remember which application a certain file is in, Clew allows users to do a single search across Google Drive, Github, Figma, Dropbox, and other services.
With Clew, you can unload all the work that you are keeping track of in your head, files from other tools, or context in messages. Clew also gives you a summary of all your outstanding tasks, events, and projects. It provides you with a search engine for your work by building a knowledge graph that links your work together.
Additionally, Clew lets you organize your work hierarchically and spatially through the flexible canvas editor, discuss and chat where your work happens, track to-dos, and have access to consolidated notifications and daily agenda.
What is amazing about this app is that it also lets other people collaborate with you so you do not need to switch from other apps. It is an all-in-one organizational tool to help you and your colleagues be more productive.

I’ve been using various iterations of the product and this new version continues to blow my mind. Roam Research users might be familiar with the idea of tools for thought; in my mind, this new version of Clew is to work what Roam is to thought. It helps connect the dots and access what I need across my ongoing projects in playful and seamless way. I’m so excited to see what’s to come 🙂

I’ve been using the app for months and it’s been awesome. But the canvas editor definitely adds a lot. I’m able to customize however I want which has increased the speed of my work a lot. Highly recommend giving this a try (or another try).
-Harrison Apitz-Grossman
I switched over from Notion to using a previous version of Clew. A few of the features that stood out for helping improve my productivity were the structure of the workspaces, the seamless search experience, and linking functionality for views.
