Linear
Plan in Linear. Predict in Timely. Automatically capture every hour. Timely’s Linear integration brings automatic, AI-powered time tracking to your Linear workflow. Plan and manage work in Linear, while Timely captures activity in the background and turns it into accurate time data—without timers or manual timesheets.

Real-Time Sync: Automatically syncs Linear teams, projects, issues, labels, and activity into Timely. Updates in Linear—such as creating or updating issues, commenting, or managing cycles—are reflected in Timely in real time.
Mapping: Linear Teams sync to Timely Clients, Linear Projects sync to Timely Projects, and Linear Issues (including sub-issues) are available as references for time tracking. Labels are imported as Timely tags.
Time entries logged in Timely can be linked directly to Linear issues, with a reference and direct link back to Linear.
AI-Powered Automation
- Work activity in Linear is captured automatically as users create issues, update projects, comment, and manage cycles.
- Memories provide context for what happened throughout the day.
- Timely’s AI suggests complete time entries, allowing users to log their entire day in one click.
Customization: Configure which Linear teams to sync, whether to create projects, import users and create tags from Linear labels—so the integration fits your workflow.
Security: Uses OAuth authentication, encrypted data transfer, and enterprise-grade infrastructure. Timely accesses Linear data in read-only mode and never modifies issues or project structure.
Benefits
- Accuracy: Capture every hour automatically with AI-assisted time suggestions linked to Linear issues—no missing or misattributed time.
- Reporting: Access complete, real-time time data for sprint analysis, forecasting, budgeting, and delivery insights. Understand how time is spent across teams, projects, and initiatives from planning to completion.
- Efficiency: Eliminate manual time entry, context switching, and duplicate task management. Teams stay focused on delivery while Timely handles time tracking in the background.
- Ideal For: Product teams, engineering teams, project managers, and agencies using Linear who want effortless time tracking and reliable reporting without disrupting existing workflows.
Requirements & Setup
- Requires a Timely Premium, Unlimited, or Enterprise plan.
- Simple setup takes less than five minutes (requires an initial admin connection).
What Gets Synced:
Linear Teams → Timely Clients
Linear Projects → Timely Projects
Linear Issues (and sub-issues) → Issue references for time entries
Linear Labels → Timely tags
Linear issue and project activity → Memories
Task Sync Rules
If issues are synced and a Linear team is not selected for syncing in Timely, its issues will not be imported or made available for time tracking.
Linear issues appear as “memories” on the Timely timeline. They can be attached to time entries as references but are not written back to Linear, ensuring Linear remains the source of truth.
