Choose Linear
when multiple people coordinate issues, projects, milestones, cycles, and product updates in a shared workspace.
SoloMap vs Linear
Local Agent continuity versus team issue and project planning
Quick verdict
Linear is stronger for team issues, projects, cycles, and shared product planning. SoloMap is stronger when one developer needs a local roadmap connected directly to Agent execution and verified handoff.
Who should choose what
Choose SoloMap
when the main user is a solo developer running local coding Agents and preserving executable context beside the code.
Use both
when Linear owns team commitments while SoloMap owns the developer's local Agent run and evidence trail.
Side-by-side comparison
| Decision | SoloMap | Linear |
|---|---|---|
| Primary unit | Roadmap stage, active step, Agent run, and evidence | Issue, project, initiative, cycle, and team |
| Source of truth | Local workspace records beside the project | Shared Linear workspace |
| Agent execution | Starts a selected local Agent CLI from the active step | Coordinates product work and integrations; not a local CLI launcher |
| Completion | User accepts evidence tied to the run and step | Issue and project workflow states |
| Collaboration | Optimized for one builder and optional handoff | Designed for multi-person product and engineering teams |
| Reporting | Next action and local project continuity | Team views, project progress, cycles, and portfolio coordination |
Use one source of truth per decision
Team promise
Keep externally shared delivery commitments and cross-team ownership in Linear.
Local execution
Keep the exact Agent prompt boundary, run evidence, and next technical action in SoloMap.
Avoid status theater
Do not duplicate every state automatically. Decide which system owns the commitment and which owns execution evidence.
The honest limitation
SoloMap is not an enterprise issue tracker and Linear is not designed to preserve a local Agent CLI execution record beside every repository by default.
Frequently asked questions
Can SoloMap replace Linear?
For a solo local Agent workflow, sometimes. For team planning, shared issues, cycles, and organization-wide reporting, Linear remains the stronger fit.
Can I use both without duplicating everything?
Yes. Let Linear own shared commitments and SoloMap own the bounded local execution record.
Which tool should define done?
The team can define acceptance in Linear, while the developer keeps the concrete verification evidence with the local run in SoloMap.
