Linear

The Timely integration connects Linear with automatic, AI-powered time tracking, enabling teams to plan work in Linear and accurately capture every hour in Timely. Work activity is captured in the background and intelligently linked to Linear issues, so teams can log their entire day in a single click—without timers or manual entry.

Timely’s AI turns this activity into time suggestions linked to Linear issues, allowing users to review and log their entire day in a single click. This removes friction, prevents missing or misattributed time, and eliminates the need to recreate task hierarchies across tools.

With real-time reporting, teams gain full visibility from sprint planning through project delivery. Linear remains the source of truth for planning and execution, while Timely predicts, captures, and reports on time with minimal effort.

How it works

Timely connects to Linear to mirror your project structure in real time. Linear teams are created as clients, projects are imported automatically, Linear issue labels sync as Timely tags (preserving hierarchy), and sub-issues are searchable. Each issue includes a direct link back to Linear, and Timely never writes back, keeping Linear as the source of truth.

As users create and update issues, comment, and manage cycles in Linear, Timely captures activity automatically. These events generate activity Memories, providing context for accurate time attribution without timers or manual entry.

Timely’s AI groups captured activity into suggested entries linked to Linear issues. Users can review and log their entire day in a single click, with time immediately available in reports from sprint planning through project delivery.
