About Linear outages
Written by the HostTracker monitoring team · updated from live probe data.
Linear is built around a real-time sync engine that keeps every open client - web, desktop, and mobile - instantly consistent with each other, which means most of its distinctive failure patterns show up as sync problems rather than the app being fully unreachable. A team using GitHub and Slack integrations alongside Linear also depends on webhook delivery working correctly in both directions, and a delay or failure there can make an integration look broken - a Linear issue not moving when a linked pull request merges, say - while the core app itself works perfectly for everyone typing directly into it.
Common causes of Linear downtime
Realtime sync engine disruptions that leave changes made in one client - web, desktop, or mobile - slow to appear or briefly inconsistent across others
API or webhook delays affecting integrations with tools like GitHub and Slack, where an automated status update or issue link lags behind or fails without the core app being affected
Login provider incidents (Google, GitHub, or another SSO method) blocking sign-in while an already-authenticated session keeps working normally

Questions people ask during an outage
The live probe run on this page tests linear.app from a broad sample of HostTracker's 300+-location monitoring network - many independent networks at the same moment, rather than just your own connection. If every location fails to reach it, the outage is real and affects everyone; if only a few locations fail while most load normally, the problem is local to those regions or networks rather than Linear being fully down. A single refresh from your own browser can never make that distinction, because it only ever tests from one vantage point on one network.
Yes. HostTracker lets you add any URL - including third-party services you depend on, not just your own website - as a monitored target, and notifies you automatically the moment it becomes unreachable. Before sending an alert, HostTracker re-verifies a failure from multiple locations in its 300+-location network, so you're notified about real, confirmed outages rather than a single location's momentary blip. The free plan checks two monitors every 30 minutes indefinitely at no cost; paid plans check as often as once a minute, with alerts available through SMS, email, voice call, and several messenger apps.
Run the live check at the top of this page - it tests linear.app from HostTracker's 300+ monitoring locations at once and tells you within seconds whether Linear is reachable for everyone or only failing for you.
It's more likely a sync engine delay than a full outage. Linear's real-time sync is what keeps every client instantly consistent, and a disruption specifically in that layer can leave changes slow to propagate between people even though each individual client is otherwise working fine on its own. If the app is responsive and usable but updates just aren't appearing for others promptly, that points at sync specifically rather than the service being down.
Not necessarily. GitHub and Slack integrations rely on webhook delivery working correctly between the two services, and a delay or failure in that specific pipeline can leave an issue's status out of sync with GitHub while the rest of Linear - creating issues, commenting, searching - works completely normally for everyone. This is a narrower, integration-specific problem rather than evidence the core app is affected.
That points at an issue with one specific login provider rather than Linear itself. Sign-in can go through more than one identity provider, and an incident affecting Google's OAuth specifically can block anyone using that method while people signing in through GitHub, or an already-active session, are completely unaffected. Trying an alternate sign-in method, if your account supports one, is a useful way to confirm the problem is scoped to that provider.
