FAQ
What technology does Linear use?
The hosting, CDN and framework signals we can detect from linear.app's public HTTP responses are listed in the "Detected stack" section above. They are read from the site's own responses at load time, so they reflect what Linear exposes publicly, not a definitive or complete stack list.
Is linear.app safe?
This page reports linear.app's publicly observable security-header hygiene as a letter grade, shown above. Security headers are one signal of good front-end practice, not a full security audit, and they say nothing about Linear's internal systems or data handling. Treat the grade as informational.

Widely used alternatives include Jira, Shortcut, GitHub Issues. The right choice depends on your workflow, budget and team size.
