About Linear
Linear is an issue-tracking and project-planning tool designed for modern software teams that value speed and focus. It manages the day-to-day flow of building software — issues, bugs, features, and tasks — with an interface known for being fast, keyboard-driven, and uncluttered. Work is organized by teams, and issues move through customizable workflow states from backlog to done. Linear groups work into Cycles, its take on sprints, which automatically roll unfinished items forward and surface velocity, and into Projects that track larger initiatives across multiple teams with progress, milestones, and documents. Roadmaps tie projects to longer-term goals so leadership can see where things stand without digging. What sets Linear apart for many teams is the experience: nearly everything is reachable by keyboard shortcut, the app feels instantaneous, and thoughtful defaults reduce setup. Git integrations link branches and pull requests to issues so status updates happen automatically as code is merged, and integrations with Slack, Figma, Sentry, and others keep context connected. Triage helps teams sort incoming bug reports and requests, while automations and SLAs handle routine movement. Built with a strong point of view about how engineering teams should work, Linear is popular with startups and product organizations that want a focused alternative to heavier project trackers, prioritizing momentum and a clean workflow over endless configuration.
