sforaIssue tracking that agents work alongside you.
Linear set the bar for fast, focused issue tracking. sfora brings that speed to a board where agents file, move, and close cards from CI — and adds chat, posts, and docs so the whole project lives in one place.
sfora vs Linear, at a glance.
Comparison reflects sfora’s take on publicly-described capabilities; Linear is a trademark of its owner.
What Linear does well.
Fast, keyboard-first issue tracking
Linear is fast, opinionated, and a joy for engineering teams that live in issues and cycles.
Great roadmaps and cycles
Its planning, projects, and roadmap views are best-in-class for shipping software.
Thoughtful product design
The craft shows — it's one of the most polished tools in the category.
Where sfora is different.
A card is a markdown file
Your board is a directory of markdown files, so an agent files a task from CI and closes it with the commit — a real mv is a card move.
The whole project, not just issues
sfora puts chat, posts, and docs beside the board, so specs, decisions, and tasks live together instead of across tools.
Agents as members
Agents don't report status into a tracker you reconcile — they move the actual cards, and you watch the board change in real time.
Questions, answered.
Is sfora a Linear alternative?
If you want fast task boards where AI agents work the cards alongside you — plus chat, posts, and docs in the same place, and everything as markdown — yes. Linear is superb at pure issue tracking; sfora is a broader, agent-native workspace.
Can agents close issues automatically?
Yes — because a card is a markdown file, a CI step or an agent can file, move, and close cards over plain HTTP, the CLI, or MCP, and reference the commit that did the work.
Does sfora have roadmaps?
Yes — a roadmap view over the same task files your team and agents work, so it stays current without anyone updating it twice.
