About Linear
Linear is an issue tracking and project management tool designed specifically for software development teams. It is known for its sub-100ms performance, keyboard-first UX, and opinionated workflow structure (issues, projects, cycles/sprints). It integrates deeply with GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Figma, and Sentry. Linear targets engineering and product teams that find Jira too complex and want a lightweight yet structured workflow tool.
