Linear comes with a Board and List View, but sometimes you want to schedule your work on a calendar timeline. That is the reason we created LinCal.
We are Fresh van Root, a digital marketing agency based in Vienna. We moved from Height.app (which no longer exists) to Linear.
Our work requires syncing on content plans a lot – internally and also with clients.
So the need for the calendar view emerged right after we migrated.
LinCal started in April 2025 as a vibecoding project on Replit, which we mostly used internally, and we later published it publicly by announcing it on Reddit.
The project changed from a simple read-only view to a second interface for your work in Linear.
As of writing this post, LinCal has the following features:
- Filter by team, assignee, project, label, current/upcoming cycle
- Show issues on a seamless scrollable calendar
- Drag & Drop tasks on the calendar
- Show tasks without due dates supporting drag & drop too
- Create Tasks: Add title, team, assignee, project, label, cycle
- Customize display settings (hide/show sub-issues, weekends, done tasks
The project gradually evolved from a side project to a serious one. We have a small user base today and add features bi-weekly.
Some technical background – we are a team of 2 now working on this:
- Moved away from Replit in Summer 2025 and re-wrote everything from scratch in React
- Hosted on Vercel
- No API calls pass our servers – no way for us as creators to see you actual work data
- No 3rd party tools for tracking user behavior
- We do not store any credentials – users log in with their Linear account
Our mission:
The broader scope is now developing Linear add-ons for people who do not work in product (only). Think of marketing, comms, HR, and other roles. The calendar view is really just the starting point; we have many more use cases planned. Our goal is of course not to compete with the official Linear app in any way – that is of course completely impossible – instead LinCal is about covering use cases catering to a different audience outside of the core interest of Linear.
Here are some recent product screenshots:
LinCal today can cover already many use cases, here are a few examples:
- Plan your week: Filter for tasks assigned to you and organize your week/month
- Team planning sessions: Share LinCal, filter on team level, get everyone on the same page
- Content brainstorming: Quickly create tasks directly on the calendar, smoothly plan your flow of content
- HR processes: Plan application process on a timeline view
- PR & Comms: Create campaign plans on a calendar view
- and many more
We, of course, use LinCal daily at our marketing agency, and new feature requests naturally emerge from our work with clients.
If you miss any specific features that would make LinCal more usable for you, please reach out at any time.
For Q1 2026 we have many new features already in development that will make LinCal a great choice for collaborative
