01
No view above the project
Status is assembled by hand, again for every meeting. Delays surface late, when there is little room left to react.
The operating layer above Linear
Linear for engineers. Polarloft for everyone else who depends on what engineers do.
For agencies and companies that deliver software for clients. Polarloft aggregates, interprets and surfaces the work in Linear for leadership, teams and clients, and engineers never get a single new field to fill in.
- Linear stays the single source of truth
- Zero double entry
- An isolated instance for your company
The problem
The work lives in Linear. The picture of it is still assembled by hand.
Linear is built for the people who ship. Everyone who depends on what ships, from leadership to clients, still works from retold status updates.
02
Productivity and culture by gut feeling
Are teams working better than three months ago? Without data the answer is an estimate, and the estimate depends on who you ask.
03
The client is scattered across channels
Client communication lives in email threads and calls. Feedback never makes it to the backlog, so someone has to find it and copy it over again.
How it works
Everything Polarloft knows, it knows because it happened in Linear.
No new forms and no reports someone fills in on a Friday afternoon. Polarloft reads the work where it already happens.
- 01
Connect Linear
Polarloft connects to your Linear workspace. Engineers keep working exactly as they do today, without a single new field.
Linear → Polarloft
- 02
History starts recording
From day one Polarloft records every state transition, the history the Linear API does not keep. It powers trends Linear alone cannot show.
Todo → In Progress → Done
- 03
Everyone gets their own view
Leadership sees the portfolio, teams see their flow, and clients see a portal with what you choose to publish.
Leadership · Teams · Clients
Four pillars
The same data, four views.
Each pillar reads the same work from Linear and shows it to the people it is meant for: leadership, teams, people and clients.
- PortfolioThe whole company on one screen, along the client → project axis.
- PulseFlow metrics and team health. The team is the unit of measurement.
- CultureRituals, growth, 1:1s and a decision log.
- Client HubA portal for clients, with feedback that goes straight to the backlog.
Portfolio
The whole company, along the client → project axis.
Every client and project in one place, assembled from the work in Linear instead of from status messages.
- A risk radar shows projects that are slipping while there is still time to react.
- Capacity per team, before you take on the next project.
- A weekly digest for Monday, and critical alerts that do not wait for Monday.
Pulse
Flow metrics instead of impressions.
Cycle time, lead time and delivery rhythm, calculated from the history of state transitions. Team health on a single view.
- Cycle time and lead time over time, from the history Polarloft records from day one.
- Delivery rhythm and the health of every team, without assembling anything by hand.
- The team is the unit of measurement. No leaderboards and no ranking of individuals.
Culture
Culture that leaves a record.
Rituals, growth, 1:1s and decisions get a place of their own, instead of living in someone's notes.
- Team rituals, recorded in one place.
- Growth and 1:1s, visible only to the person and their manager.
- A decision log: what was decided, when and why.
Client Hub
Clients see the progress. You choose what.
Every client gets a portal with controlled publishing. The feedback they leave goes straight to your backlog in Linear, not into someone's inbox.
Controlled publishing
Clients see only what you publish. Internal work stays internal.
Feedback straight to the backlog
Client comments arrive in Linear as backlog items. Nothing gets copied over from email.
A portal for every client
One place for progress and communication, instead of a chain of emails and calls.
For owners
Money and access, under control.
Two layers the owner sees and controls, while everyone else sees exactly as much as they need.
Money
Margins, utilization and cost per client. Only the owner sees these numbers.
Named access
A freelancer sees only what they are assigned to. Every access is audited.
Interface illustration. All data is fictional.
Privacy and security
Visibility boundaries are part of the product.
Polarloft sees a lot about how a company works. That is why data isolation, people's privacy and a record of every access are built into how it works.
An isolated instance
Your company gets its own isolated instance at yourcompany.polarloft.com.
Individual data stays private
Data about a person is visible only to that person and their manager.
No leaderboards
Metrics are shown per team. People are never ranked against each other.
Access audit
Access is named, and every access is logged: who opened what, and when.
Pricing

Every company gets its own instance, so pricing is agreed per instance. Get in touch and we will prepare a quote for your company.
