## Features
**Linear excels at:**
- Blazing-fast keyboard shortcuts and native-feel performance
- Deep Git integration (GitHub, GitLab, Jira sync)
- Automated sprint cycles and burn-down charts
- Clean, opinionated workflow: Backlog → Todo → In Progress → Done
**Notion excels at:**
- Flexible databases, wikis, and docs in one canvas
- Highly customizable views (Kanban, table, gallery, calendar)
- Team knowledge base alongside project tracking
- Embedding everything: videos, code, spreadsheets, Figma
## Integrations
Linear integrates deeply with engineering tools — GitHub PRs auto-link, Figma embeds, Slack notifications feel native. Notion connects to 50+ apps but few integrations feel as tight.
## Performance
Linear is noticeably faster. The app performs like a native desktop tool even in the browser. Notion can lag on large wikis. Linear's keyboard-first design appeals to developers; Notion's drag-and-drop canvas fits content and ops teams.
