Keep Linear issues in Obsidian

Steps

1. Press “Connect” beside Linear under Cloud on Exporter’s home, sign in with Apple, and press “Authorize” on Linear’s page in your browser.
2. Choose a folder inside your vault, like ~/Documents/Vault/Linear, and press “Use This Folder”. A folder inside a vault is used as it is.
3. Untick what you don’t want on the pick page: issues, projects or documents.
4. Press “Sync Now”. From then on, a change in Linear reaches the note within a minute.

What you get

Vault/Linear/
  Northwind/
    NW-142 Invite flow.md
  Projects/
    Q4 launch.md
  Documents/
    Q4 launch/
      Launch plan.md

Obsidian shows the front matter as properties: the state, priority, assignee, labels, project and dates. Filter by them in a base or a query, link an issue from a meeting note with its name, and search the comments with the rest of your vault. The source_url property opens the issue in Linear.

Pitfalls

• The notes are read only in effect: an edit in Obsidian is replaced at the next change in Linear. Write your own notes beside them, not in them.
• An issue you archive or delete in Linear loses its note. Keep what must stay in a note of your own.
• The first 7 days are free; then Exporter Cloud is a subscription, and when it ends the notes stay where they are.

Every field is in the Linear docs.
