Linear Overview
Linear is a streamlined issue-tracking and project-management tool for Windows and macOS (and web) designed primarily for software development teams, known for speed and a polished, keyboard-driven interface. It manages issues, cycles (sprints), and projects with a fast, minimal UI that prioritizes flow, and includes roadmaps, automated workflows, and tight integrations with tools like GitHub, GitLab, Slack, and Figma so engineering work stays connected to code and discussion. Its focus on performance and thoughtful design has made it popular with startups and product teams. It uses a freemium model. The desktop app is a companion to the cloud service. It supports a fast local sync engine and a command palette, both of which reinforce its speed-focused design. This page points to the genuine Linear source from Linear,, not a third-party host.
