Change Task Status, Edit Tasks, Improved Calendar Design

With the first update of LinCal in 2026, we shipped several improvements creating a better user experience.

Edit task status

Until now you had to click a task and change its status in Linear app. That destroyed the flow of quickly organizing your work on a calendar.

Now you can click the circle on a task card to update the task state in LinCal directly.

Edit task properties

With a right click on a task card, you can now edit the assignee, project, label, and cycle.

Spot overdue tasks

Task cards now have a red icon showing its overdue.

To quickly reschedule a task, drag & drop it onto the calendar grid, or move it to the tasks without due date panel to remove the due date completely.
