Linear

Linear is a project and issue tracking tool for software teams, known for a fast, keyboard-driven interface and opinionated workflows that push teams toward a consistent way of planning and shipping work. It organizes work into issues, cycles, projects, initiatives, and roadmaps, with features like automatic backlog management, a built-in triage inbox for incoming requests, SLAs, and progress tracking that rolls up from issues to company goals. Linear syncs with GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Figma, and Sentry, and its design emphasizes minimal friction: instant search, quick issue creation, and a snappy interface that works offline. In 2025 the company leaned into AI and agents, adding the ability to assign issues to coding agents as if they were teammates, mention them, and govern their access, along with a native Linear agent that can turn a discussion into structured issues and projects and answer questions about a workspace. The company reported passing one hundred million dollars in revenue and raised a Series C at a valuation above one billion dollars. Linear is used widely by startups and product teams at larger companies. It offers a free plan for small teams with paid plans adding more history, advanced features, and administration.
