Built for the modern product team
Linear started as a response to the frustration of using slow, cluttered project management tools. We set out to build something different—a tool that feels as fast as your thoughts and as intuitive as your workflow.
Our mission
We're on a mission to help product teams build better software, faster. Too many teams struggle with tools that slow them down instead of speeding them up.
Linear is our answer—a purpose-built tool that removes friction from product development and helps teams stay focused on what matters most: building great products.
