open beta

All the noise.
One signal.

notifbuddy moves notifications both ways — Linear, GitHub, and Plain into one calm Slack feed, and your Slack replies back into the tool they came from. Nothing gets lost, nothing pings twice.

No credit card required — sign up and go.

linear · github · plain ⇄ slack

live

both directions

One channel per issue. One signal per update.

Into Slack

Every issue gets its own channel. Comments, status changes, and assignments arrive as they happen — no digest lag, no shared-channel firehose.

Back out again

Reply in the channel and it lands on the issue as a comment, attributed to you. Your team reads it where they work, you never left Slack.

Your rules

Per-team rules decide when a channel opens, how it's named, and who's added automatically. Set once, then stop thinking about it.

reply anywhere

Written in Slack. Filed in Linear.

A reply typed in the issue's channel travels back through notifbuddy and lands on the issue itself — comment, attribution, status and all. The conversation stays whole in both places.

how it works

Syncing in three steps

  1. 01

    Connect

    Sign in with GitHub, then connect Slack and Linear — from the dashboard, or without leaving your terminal via the CLI.

  2. 02

    Set channel rules

    Per Linear team: when channels open, how they're named, and who gets added automatically.

  3. 03

    Stay in Slack

    Updates flow in, replies flow back. Both tools stay current without you tabbing between them.

open source

Yours to read. Yours to run.

notifbuddy is open source, and a Helm chart deploys the whole thing — dashboard, API, auth — on your own cluster. Or skip the ops and use the hosted beta.

# hosted, from your terminal
brew install notifbuddy/tap/notifbuddy
notifbuddy login

# or on your own cluster
helm install notifbuddy \
  oci://ghcr.io/notifbuddy/charts/notifbuddy \
  --namespace notifbuddy --create-namespace

faq

Frequently asked questions

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.
