What does notifbuddy do?
notifbuddy opens a Slack channel for each Linear issue and mirrors updates both ways. Comments, status changes, and assignments land in Slack as they happen, and replies written in Slack land back on the issue — nothing gets lost and nothing pings twice.
Which tools does notifbuddy connect?
Linear and Slack sync is live today. GitHub, Plain, and Discord support is rolling out during the beta.
Is notifbuddy free?
Yes — notifbuddy is free while in open beta. No credit card required: sign up and start syncing right away.
How is this different from Linear's built-in Slack integration?
Built-in integrations push notifications one way into shared channels. notifbuddy gives every issue its own channel, collapses duplicate updates into one signal, and syncs your replies back into the tool they came from.
Is notifbuddy open source?
Yes. The code lives on GitHub under the notifbuddy organization, and a community Slack is open for feedback.
Can I self-host notifbuddy?
Yes. A Helm chart at ghcr.io/notifbuddy/charts/notifbuddy deploys the dashboard, the API, and the auth service on your own Kubernetes cluster. The self-hosting guide in the docs walks through it.
Do I have to leave the terminal to set it up?
No. Install the CLI with brew install notifbuddy/tap/notifbuddy, run notifbuddy login, and connect Slack and Linear without leaving your terminal — or install the bundled skill and let your coding agent run the whole onboarding.
