Linear is a US company, cloud-only and under US jurisdiction — the CLOUD Act applies and there is no self-host. Polybase gives you EU cloud, your own VPC, or air-gapped self-host.

LINEAR

Leistungsstark. Aber allein.

Linear is a modern, opinionated issue tracker beloved by startups and engineering teams for its speed, clean design, and keyboard shortcuts. It does one thing exceptionally well — but that's all it does. Teams using Linear still need Slack, Notion, and Zoom, creating a fragmented stack that Linear's single-purpose design can't unify.

Wechsel von Linear.

Eine praktische Reihenfolge, um den Wechsel zu planen, nützliche Inhalte zu übertragen und den neuen Workspace einzuführen.

5 steps
  1. 01

    Export Linear Issues

    Use Linear's CSV export or API to download your current issues, cycles, and project structure. This provides a snapshot of your active work for reference during migration.

  2. 02

    Set Up Polybase Project Channels

    Create Polybase channels for each Linear project or team. Each channel comes with built-in Kanban boards, making Linear's separate project sidebar unnecessary.

  3. 03

    Migrate Active Tasks

    Recreate your current active tasks in Polybase boards. The interface is similarly fast and keyboard-driven — you'll feel at home immediately. Focus on active work; leave completed history in Linear for reference.

  4. 04

    Replace Slack Integration with Native Chat

    In Linear, task updates go to Slack channels via integration. In Polybase, task updates appear in the channel natively — no bot configuration needed. Discussions about tasks happen right where the task lives.

  5. 05

    Consolidate Your Stack

    With tasks, chat, docs, and calls in one place, you can cancel your Linear, Slack, and Zoom subscriptions simultaneously. One login, one app, one bill — for everything your team needs.

Why Polybase

Was Polybase umfasst.

Zusätzliche Workspace-Funktionen, die Sie beim Vergleich von Polybase und Linear berücksichtigen können.

01

Context That Never Leaves

Linear issues exist in a vacuum. Polybase tasks are surrounded by the conversations, docs, and calls that created them. When you open a task, you see its full history — not just a description field.

02

Equally Fast, Dramatically More Integrated

Polybase matches Linear's speed obsession. Instant task creation, keyboard shortcuts, and real-time sync — but with chat, video, and docs built right in. You get Linear's speed without needing three other apps.

03

Discuss and Decide, Instantly

In Linear, when a task needs discussion, you switch to Slack. In Polybase, you start a thread on the task or hop into a video call — right there, right now. Zero context switching.

04

Replace Three Tools With One

Linear teams use Linear + Slack + Notion + Zoom. That's 4 subscriptions and 4 apps to manage. Polybase gives you all four capabilities in a single, unified workspace.

05

Self-Host for Full Control

Linear is cloud-only. Polybase can be deployed on your own infrastructure for complete data sovereignty — perfect for security-conscious startups and regulated industries.

Häufige Fragen

Häufige Fragen

Fragen zum Wechsel von Linear zu Polybase.

01Is Polybase as fast as Linear?
Polybase is built with the same performance-first philosophy as Linear. Task creation, board navigation, and search are all optimized for speed with keyboard shortcuts and instant real-time sync. The difference is that Polybase extends this speed across chat, docs, and video — not just issue tracking.
02Will I lose Linear's Git integration?
Polybase ships a one-way GitHub connector built on webhooks: it links PRs, branches, and commits to tasks, moves task status automatically (for example when a PR is opened or merged), and posts repository events into channels with per-channel filters. It is not a bi-directional sync, and it does not yet cover GitLab.
03Can non-engineering teams use Polybase?
Absolutely. While Linear is engineering-focused, Polybase's task management is designed for all teams — design, marketing, operations, product. The same Kanban boards work for any team's workflow, with chat and video keeping cross-functional communication seamless.
