Linear Issue Maker

[sea_priest]

Description

 

 

This Alfred workflow allows you to create new backlog issues in your Linear project management workspace directly from Alfred.  Quickly capture ideas, tasks, or bug reports as Linear issues without leaving your current context or switching between apps.

 

To use the workflow, simply invoke Alfred and type the designated keyword, which is "li" by default, followed by the title of the issue you want to create.

 

For example, typing "li Implement new login flow" will instantly create a new backlog issue titled "Implement new login flow" in your specified Linear team.

 

By integrating Linear with Alfred, this workflow eliminates the need to switch between apps or browser tabs, saving you valuable time and boosting your productivity. Instead of navigating to the Linear web app and manually creating issues, you can capture your ideas and action items as they arise, without disrupting your current workflow.

Whether you're a developer, project manager, or anyone who uses Linear for task management, this Alfred workflow is a game-changer. It streamlines your issue creation process, reduces context switching, and helps you stay focused on your work while ensuring that important tasks and ideas are promptly captured and organized in your Linear backlog.
