What is Linear?
Linear is a project management and issue tracking platform designed for software development teams. It provides tools for managing bugs, features, roadmaps, and sprints with a focus on speed and keyboard-driven workflows. Engineering teams at startups and larger technology companies use Linear as their primary tool for coordinating work across cycles and tracking progress toward product goals.
Signs Linear is having problems
- The web app at linear.app loads a blank screen or spins indefinitely after login
- API requests to api.linear.app return 503 or timeout, breaking integrations and automation that rely on the GraphQL API
- Real-time updates stop working: issues appear to save but changes made by teammates do not appear without a full page reload
- GitHub, Slack, or Figma integrations stop syncing — new pull requests or mentions no longer create or update Linear issues automatically
Find out when your own services go down
You can check Linear here — but a heartbeat monitor tells you the moment your API, website, or cron job stops responding, so you hear about your own downtime before your users do.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if Linear is down?
Check the official status page at https://linearstatus.com for the current state of all Linear components including the web app, API, and integrations. You can also try loading linear.app in an incognito window to rule out a local cache issue, and search recent posts on X (Twitter) for mentions of Linear being down.
Where is the official Linear status page?
The official status page is https://linearstatus.com. It is maintained by Linear and shows real-time and historical uptime data for the web application, API, and third-party integrations. You can subscribe to updates directly on that page to receive email or webhook notifications when Linear reports an incident.
Why do my Linear API integrations break even when the web app seems fine?
Linear's API and web application can experience independent partial outages. The GraphQL API at api.linear.app has its own component on the status page. If your automation or CI pipeline is failing while teammates can browse issues in the browser, check the API component specifically on https://linearstatus.com rather than assuming the whole service is down.
Can I monitor my own services for outages the way this page tracks Linear?
Yes. A heartbeat monitoring service like CronJobPro lets you set up dead-man's-switch monitors for your own scheduled jobs and services, alerting you by email or webhook when something stops reporting in on time — the same principle behind watching whether an external service is healthy.
