Linear is an issue tracking and project planning tool for software teams. It includes Linear Agent and an agent platform for AI-assisted work.
Linear organizes work into issues, its basic unit of work, and teams are the main way a workspace is structured. Cycles give each team a repeating planning period, projects group issues around a shared outcome, and initiatives sit above projects for broader strategic efforts. Triage is where new work gets reviewed before anyone decides what happens next. Views let you look at the same underlying work in different ways.
Linear pitches itself to product teams that plan, build and ship software, at companies from ambitious startups to major enterprises. Teams moving from Jira, Asana or GitHub Issues can follow Linear’s migration guide, and separate guides cover keeping work in sync with Jira or GitHub Issues. Linear’s team offers to walk you through a migration, and it lists white glove onboarding and migration assistance for enterprise customers.
Linear connects with GitHub and GitLab to automate pull request and merge request workflows. You can create issues from Slack messages, Microsoft Teams conversations, Discord, Figma, Sentry errors or email, and a paid add-on to the Enterprise plan creates them from Salesforce cases. Zapier lets you build custom automations that create or update issues, Google Sheets can turn issue and project data into dashboards, and Loom and YouTube videos can be embedded in issues and documents. Developers can also write custom integrations on Linear’s API and list them in its integrations directory.
Basic removes the issue cap and adds more teams and admin roles, Business adds unlimited teams and code intelligence, and Enterprise adds SAML, SCIM and granular admin controls. Current prices are in the pricing box above.
