Snooze

Snooze notifications and Triage issues, or set issue reminders on other issues.

Linear app showing the snooze notification menu

Overview

Snoozing temporarily hides an issue from the Inbox or Triage. At the specified time, it will re-appear as a new notification and unread. If you are notified about that issue before your Snooze is up (new activity, comment, etc) it is immediately re-added to Inbox or Triage and your Snooze is canceled.

If you wish to be reminded about an issue elsewhere in Linear, you can do so by using Issue reminders. When you set a reminder, a notification will be sent to your Inbox at the time you choose. While snoozing hides issues, setting reminders does not.

  • For a month
  • Until the next cycle
  • Custom time & date

Custom dates

For custom dates and times, type in the selection instead. Be sure to type the option in full (e.g. next quarter not next quar) otherwise the option will not appear.

  • Next quarter
  • Til or until month / date

View Options

In views that support Snooze, you can toggle show or hide snoozed issues issues in View Options. Because setting reminders does not hide an issue, there is no toggle in View Options regarding reminders.
