Switch from Linear
OpenTodo is a good fit for small teams and personal work that want speed without process. Your issues come with their projects, statuses, priorities, labels, due dates and sub-issues.

Export from Linear#
Linear exports a workspace's issues as one CSV file from its workspace settings (look for Import / Export).
Import into OpenTodo#
- Open Settings → Data → Import data (or press
gthenShift+I). - Choose the CSV file. The preview shows Linear export (CSV).
- Check the warnings and select Import.
Each project opens as a board on this device, with one column per status.
What carries over#
- Projects (or teams, for issues without a project).
- Statuses become sections, in the order they appear, so the board shows the same columns.
- Titles, and descriptions that start with the issue identifier (
ENG-123), so you can still find it. - Priorities (Urgent, High, Medium, Low and No priority become p1–p4), labels and due dates.
- Sub-issues as subtasks.
- Completed issues; canceled ones are completed with the label
canceled. - Issues assigned to you stay assigned to you.
The full mapping is in Import formats.
What does not#
- Blocked by relations between issues in the export become Blocked by on the tasks. Estimates (points), cycles, milestones, initiatives, SLAs and the other issue relations (related, duplicate) are dropped with a warning.
- Issues assigned to other people arrive unassigned; share the project and assign them again.
- Comments and attachments are not part of the CSV export.
