Issue tracking built for speed, with a keyboard-first interface.

Overview

Linear is a purpose-built product development platform designed for modern teams that work alongside AI agents. It combines issue tracking, project planning, code review, and progress monitoring in a single system optimized for speed and collaboration.

The platform is built around five core workflows: intake (turning feedback into actionable issues), planning (roadmaps and initiatives), building (with AI agent integration), reviewing (structural diffs for code changes), and monitoring (dashboards and analytics). Linear emphasizes reducing noise and restoring momentum to help teams ship with high velocity.

With support for over 37,000 product teams ranging from startups to enterprises, Linear offers free and paid tiers with features like unlimited members on the free plan, AI agent integration, and enterprise-grade security controls.
