Linear
Issue tracking built for speed and efficiency.
Linear is a product development system for planning and building software, covering issues, cycles, roadmaps, and related workflows. It is designed for use by both people and AI agents working in a shared workspace, with intake that turns conversations and customer feedback into routed, labeled, and prioritized issues.
Core modules include Issues, Cycles, Projects, Initiatives, Documents, Pulse, Insights, and Releases, along with Git automations, guided reviews, and diffs. AI capabilities include Linear Agent for coding sessions and pull requests, Triage, Linear Asks, Linear MCP, and Loops for recurring agent workflows. Integrations span GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Figma, Sentry, Intercom, Zendesk, Zapier, and MCP connectors for clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Windsurf; a public API supports custom integrations.
It is aimed at product and engineering teams, with a downloadable app and web access. The pages indicate a free plan, a trial, and contact sales for enterprise needs, but do not specify seat or usage details.
