I use Linear for development task organization and project completion. It really helps by showing the status of all development tasks and allows us to add priority for each task, add comments, and lets the entire team see the progress of company-wide projects. I like that Linear is a simple organization tool that doesn't overcomplicate work. Other systems have too many bells and whistles that confuse everyone, but with this tool, I've seen more completion of tasks and correct status handling. The initial setup was very easy.

Linear is not as well designed for organizing personal tasks or setting specific status triggers to bring someone new into the project. It would be helpful to have personal dashboards so that everyone does not need to be bothered with all tasks company-wide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Linear integrates with several tools like GitHub and Slack. These integrations bring productivity and visibility gains. The integration with GitHub allows for directly linking technical work to tickets, improving tracking and reducing the time spent synchronizing tools. The one with Slack ensures that the right people are informed at the right time without additional effort. Linear's UI is very intuitive, easy to use, fast, and interactive, which reduces daily friction and allows more time to be spent on priorities. I also like the design. The initial setup of Linear was quite simple and pleasant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The creation of subtasks as Linear tickets is laborious depending on the text format used, as some formats make this option unavailable. This is inconvenient because it forces us to give less visibility to these elements when creating a project, but it is a low-intensity friction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Linear’s interface is exceptionally intuitive and lightning-fast. The responsiveness makes navigating the app feel effortless, while the well-organized layout significantly streamlines the user journey between tasks. I’m particularly impressed by the command-k functionality and the comprehensive keyboard shortcuts, which allow for a true "flow state." The aesthetic is clean and distraction-free, which has noticeably boosted my efficiency. Plus, the free plan is remarkably generous for the level of quality provided.

I’d like to see the AI evolve to provide more "connective tissue" across my work. Rather than just offering various views, the platform could be more proactive by surfacing project insights and suggesting automations as I progress. A more intelligent, user-friendly way to surface relevant data—rather than overwhelming the user with every possible view—would take the experience to the next level.

I love Linear's keyboard-first design; it's not just a shortcut, it's a mindset. I can create, prioritize, and move tasks with a few keystrokes, which keeps my flow intact during deep work. The clean, distraction-free interface also stands out: no flashy widgets or cluttered menus, just what I need to stay focused. Plus, custom views let me toggle between 'Client Projects,' 'Design Sprints,' or 'Bug Fixes' in seconds. The ability to create a task, assign it, set a due date, or move it to another project all with a few keystrokes means I never have to grab my mouse. It's like typing a to-do list, but way smarter. And custom views have been a game changer for me. I set up separate views for each client or project, like 'Client A – Design Phase' or 'Bug Fixes – This Week.' When I switch clients, I just hit a shortcut and poof, my whole board changes to match what I need right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Linear's sleek and nice UI, which is a step above other alternatives for organizing and making sense of our plans. Its integrations with GitHub and other platforms are very developer friendly. I find the AI features particularly useful for triaging external requests and scanning through hundreds or thousands of existing tickets. The keyboard shortcuts and command palette are very nice features that make navigation easier. There are so many little moments in its design where I wonder if I can do something new, and it just works perfectly. For example, writing up a plan in a project description and turning it into tickets felt intuitive and worked perfectly the first time I tried it. It's very thoroughly considered and carefully designed, and I feel that makes Linear stand out. It's also noteworthy how transparent and easy it is to share the single source of truth across teams, and it makes things easy for developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm concerned that it is becoming an enterprise tool which could make it very bloated and slow. We've seen very small examples of this, but I'm just slightly afraid that it could become Jira one day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Linear is very easy to use, with a clean, fast interface that makes issue tracking simple and efficient. Setup was quick, and the workflow feels intuitive even for new users. I use it often to manage tickets, track bugs, and organize development tasks without friction. It also integrates smoothly with tools like GitHub and Slack, which helps keep our development workflow connected and running efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Linear is great for its simplicity and speed, it can feel a little too minimal if you need advanced reporting or highly customizable workflows. Some areas, like analytics and deeper automation, could be improved. It’s an excellent fit for engineering teams, but non-technical teams may need a bit of time to get comfortable with the interface.

I really like the way that I can link Linear tickets to tickets in our Intercom system, so that we can track progress in Linear within Intercom and keep a coherent list of customers affected by issues/requesting features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was a little confusing at first, but that was probably just because I was used to a different system (Asana) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface and broad range of shortcuts that are available make the tool very easy to use. Additionally, the slack integration makes it even easier to track projects and issue updates. The templates flexibility is also fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that I can think of, honestly the best project tool I have ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use and the the insights are easy to build in Linear. The customer is auto tagged in linear showcasing the potential duplicate ones are awesome. The triage feature is also something I like and export of the tickets to external platform and ease to integrate to external platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dashboard-building features feel limited. I’d like the ability to create custom views and dashboards similar to Jira, where we can use JQL to build and filter what we see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s fast and frictionless — everything happens instantly, which makes teams more likely to actually keep work updated. The keyboard-first design makes moving through issues feel natural and efficient. The workflows are simple but thoughtfully structured, helping teams stay organized without overcomplicating things. The clean, minimal UI keeps the focus on the work. Overall, it feels like a tool built by people who really understand how software teams operate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s also very engineering-first. PMs and devs usually love it, but designers, ops, or execs may struggle to find a simple, high-level view that doesn’t require learning the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
