A keyboard-driven project management tool for software teams with a clean data model (issues, cycles, projects, roadmaps) and deep GitHub and GitLab integration — built with performance as a core product value.

Why it is useful

Noticeably faster than Jira — the interface feels instant because it's built with a sync engine that keeps everything local and syncs to the server in the background. The opinionated data model keeps projects from accumulating hundreds of unused custom fields. The keyboard shortcut system means power users rarely touch the mouse. Most developers who switch from Jira to Linear don't go back.
