About Linear
Linear is an issue tracker for software teams that plan and ship products. It brings issues, projects and cycles into one tool that engineering, design and product teams can share.
What it does
Teams log issues, group them into projects and cycles, and move them across a board or list. New issues can come in from other tools such as Slack and be routed, labeled and prioritized automatically. Progress views show what is in flight and what is next. Linear also supports AI agents that can draft specs or take on coding tasks, which team members can review.

Who it's for
