Best Linear Alternatives
Looking for a Linear alternative? Here are 5 real planning tools worth a look, each with an honest take on what it does differently.
Open-source, self-hostable answer to Linear — pick it if you want roadmaps and cycles without handing your data to anyone.
Purpose-built for software teams doing sprint planning — less flashy than Linear, but it's been quietly solid for years.
Free roadmap and kanban boards that live right next to your code and PRs — the obvious pick if you're already on GitHub.
No sprints, no story points — just to-dos, schedules, and messages in one place for small teams who find Jira exhausting.
The simplest kanban board there is — drag cards, done. Still the fastest way to plan a small project without any setup.
