Linear
Task & Project Management
Linear tracks the issue. Fokus books the time.
Import issues with priority, labels, estimates and state intact, plan them onto your calendar, and keep completion in perfect sync — both ways.
Integrations
What Fokus adds
Not a mirror of the other tool — capabilities that only exist once the two are connected.
Issues arrive fully loaded
Priority, labels, estimates and workflow state all survive the import — an estimated issue is already halfway to being a time block.
Real-time in both directions
Linear webhooks push changes to Fokus the moment they happen; completing the Fokus task runs your chosen action back in Linear.
Per-action sync rules
Completed, updated, deleted — for each event, in each direction, you decide: close, sync, delete, complete, or do nothing.
Per-project auto-import
Your active cycle’s project syncs; exploratory projects stay out of your day until you say otherwise.
How the sync works
Under the hood
Linear webhooks stream issue changes to Fokus in real time; your per-action rules decide what each change does on the other side.
-
An issue is added to an enabled project
It appears in Fokus with priority, labels and estimate
-
You complete the task in Fokus
Your rule runs in Linear — close the issue, or do nothing
-
An issue is completed in Linear
Your rule runs in Fokus — the task resolves too
Settings, explained
The controls you actually get after connecting — exactly as they appear in Settings → Integrations.
Sync Settings
Auto-Import picks the projects; Sync Settings defines what completed / updated / deleted do in each direction:
-
Auto-Import Settings · toggle individual projects
- Core app
- Design system
Only enabled projects import their issues into Fokus.
-
Fokus → Linear · On task completed
Options: Close issue, Sync changes, Delete task, Complete task, Do nothing.
-
Linear → Fokus · On issue completed
Marked done in Linear means done in Fokus — time block included.
-
Linear → Fokus · On issue updated
Priority, label and estimate changes flow into the Fokus task.
