> AI-powered project management for software teams

Linear is the modern software project management tool built for high-velocity engineering teams who need fast, focused issue tracking without the bloat of traditional tools like Jira. Its AI assistant can automatically write issue descriptions, identify duplicate tickets, suggest priorities, and generate subtasks — while the core product remains strikingly fast and keyboard-driven. Engineering teams at Vercel, Loom, Ramp, and hundreds of other technology companies use Linear because it respects developers' time with an interface that takes seconds to learn and milliseconds to use.
