This article refers to Reclaim 2.0 features and workflows. You can confirm your current app version in your User profile.
Connect Reclaim to Linear to automatically schedule time for issue work, protect focus time, and make sprint or cycle plans more realistic.
With Linear connected, Reclaim can auto-schedule time to work on Linear issues with smart time blocking for Google Calendar, helping engineering and product teams turn issue tracking into scheduled execution.
Requirements
To connect Linear to Reclaim 2.0, you’ll need:
A Reclaim account on a plan that supports task integrations
A Linear account in the workspace you want to connect
Access to the Linear issues you want Reclaim to sync
Permission to authorize third-party apps for your Linear account
A Linear workspace admin or owner who can approve the Reclaim app, if app approvals are required
Note: Linear authorization is handled through your Linear workspace permissions. The current setup flow should focus on connecting Linear and approving access, not configuring a separate integration-specific scheduling preferences page.
How to set up the Reclaim Linear integration
To connect Reclaim to Linear:
In the Reclaim app, navigate to Settings > Integrations
Select Linear
Click Connect Linear or Add Linear
Sign in to your Linear account
Choose the Linear workspace you want to connect
Review and approve the requested permissions
Once connected, Reclaim can automatically schedule time for Linear issues on your calendar.
Note: Depending on your Linear workspace settings, a workspace admin may need to approve the Reclaim app before users can connect it.

Sync Linear issues to Google Calendar
Automatically block time for issue work
Use Linear estimates to set scheduled work duration
