Zuuna vs Linear: git, time tracking, EU hosting

Linear showed how good an issue tracker can feel. Zuuna shares that developer-friendly bar — and adds what Linear deliberately leaves out: releases from the board, time tracking, documents and EU hosting.

Where Zuuna wins

• From card to release. Commits, PRs and CI land on the card, releases bind to real git tags — and you deploy in one click.
• The Code Graph. See what was built — including what shipped with no ticket.
• More than a tracker. Time tracking, documents and calendar are built in.
• Hosted in the EU. GDPR-compliant, with a DPA.

Where Linear is strong

Linear is extremely fast and polished, with a very focused UX. If you just want a lean issue tracker and can do without time tracking, releases-from-the-board and EU hosting, Linear is a strong choice.
