A Simpler Linear Alternative for Indie Developers
Linear is great for startups, but it's built for teams. If you're shipping solo or with a tiny team, TriageFlow gives you the same speed with less complexity—plus a built-in feedback widget.
TriageFlow's clean dashboard — focus on what matters
Why Choose TriageFlow Over Linear?
📬 Built-in Feedback Widget
Linear focuses on internal issue tracking. TriageFlow includes a feedback widget you can embed on your website to collect bug reports and suggestions directly from users—no third-party tools needed.
🎯 Triage Inbox for Feedback
When feedback comes in, it lands in a dedicated triage inbox. Review submissions, accept what matters, reject noise, and keep your board clean. Linear doesn't have this separation.
💸 Truly Free for Solo Devs
Linear charges $8/user/month. When you're bootstrapping or building a side project, every dollar counts. TriageFlow's free tier gives you everything you need to ship.
🚫 No Cycles or Sprints
Linear's cycles are great for coordinating teams. But if you're working solo, you don't need sprint planning. TriageFlow keeps it simple: Open → In Progress → Done.
