Linear is bringing magic back to software
We’re crafting the project planning tool for teams that care about quality
Computers used to be magical. But much of that magic has been lost over time, replaced by subpar tools and practices that slow teams down and hold back great work. Frustrated with the status quo, we decided to build something better. Something that teams would actually enjoy using. We named it Linear to signify progress.
What started as a simple issue tracker, has since evolved into a powerful project and issue tracking system that streamlines workflows across the entire product development process. We don’t think of Linear as just a better “tool”, but as a better “way” to build software.
Today, thousands of teams around the globe — from early-stage startups to public companies — use Linear to build their products. Linear helps them to focus on what they do best: Crafting software experiences that feel magical again.
We care deeply about the quality of our work
Linear has always been a fully remote company. Today, our small but mighty team is distributed across North America and Europe. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and our passion for software craftsmanship. We are all makers at heart and care deeply about the quality of our work, down to the smallest detail.
