About Alignear

Alignear sits on top of Linear and turns the work a team already tracks there into updates for clients. When a cycle closes, it builds a client-ready report from cycles, issues and meeting notes, and gives the client their own portal, so they never see the team's internal workspace and the team avoids rewriting updates by hand.

Clients can submit requests through the portal, and those requests are triaged into Linear issues so scope asks do not get lost in email or chat threads. The portal also shows cycle progress, shared views and a decision inbox for open questions, and reports can be exported as PDF. Agent automations handle part of the routine work of keeping clients informed. Alignear is a commercial, hosted service aimed at agencies and delivery teams that ship in Linear. It connects through your Linear workspace, and the vendor lets you begin without a credit card.
