Overview

LinearBar is a macOS menu bar application that displays your Linear issues and notifications. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how LinearBar handles your data.

Data collection

We do not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data to our servers.

LinearBar operates entirely on your local machine. All data processed by the application remains on your device.

How LinearBar works

LinearBar connects directly to Linear's API using credentials you provide. The application:

Authenticates with Linear using your API key or OAuth token
Fetches your issues, notifications, and workspace data from Linear
Displays this information in your menu bar
Processes all data locally without sending anything to Strategic Nerds servers

Data storage

All data retrieved from Linear is cached locally on your Mac for performance. This includes:

Issue details and status
Notification data
Workspace and team information
Your Linear user profile

This cached data is stored only on your device. We have no access to it.

Credentials and authentication

Your Linear API key or OAuth token is stored securely in your Mac's Keychain. We never have access to these credentials. They are used solely to authenticate with Linear's servers on your behalf.

Third-party services

LinearBar connects to Linear (linear.app). You should review Linear's privacy policy at linear.app/privacy to understand how they handle your data.

Analytics and crash reporting

LinearBar does not currently include any analytics or crash reporting. If we add these features in the future, we will update this policy and notify users.

Your control

You have complete control over your data:

Revoke LinearBar's access through Linear's security settings

Uninstall LinearBar to remove all local application data
Delete your API key from your Mac's Keychain

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes through the application or our website.
