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.
This guide is intended to give you an overview of Linear's features, discover their flexibility, and provide tips for how to use Linear to improve the speed, value, and joy of your work.
Linear is the tool of choice for ambitious startups to plan, build, and scale their products. Powerful yet simple to use, it streamlines issues, sprints, and projects.
The Linear web app can be access by logging in to linear.app. Linear will launch directly in your browser window. Nearly all functionality in the desktop app including offline mode is available on the web in most browsers.
Your AI models and agents can use our official MCP server to access your Linear data in a simple and secure way. Connect to our MCP server natively as a new Claude Integration, or by using the mcp-remote module in Cursor, Windsurf, and other clients.
