You need a time record that follows real work on Linear issues without rebuilding the same task list in a separate system. Linear already organizes work by team, project, cycle, assignee, status, labels, priority, and estimates. Those fields give the timer useful context, especially when engineers and product teams already plan every work item in Linear.
The practical question is where the time record should live after someone starts tracking from a Linear issue. Toggl Track lists Linear as a browser-extension integration. Toggl says its Chrome, Edge, and Firefox extension adds a Start timer link inside supported tools. The saved entry follows Toggl's extension rules for description, tags, and matching project names.
Toggl's browser extension can create a time entry from another app with the web app's description and tags. Toggl also says it matches a Track project name when one already exists. It does not add tasks automatically. That boundary matters when your Linear issues need to remain tied to task-level billing, project reporting, or later review by person and issue.
A clean setup starts with naming discipline. If Linear project names and Toggl Track project names drift, project matching loses value and someone has to clean the reporting layer. Tags also need a consistent convention before the team starts tracking. A timer link helps capture elapsed work, but the downstream report depends on whether projects, tags, and descriptions stay usable after export or review.
Linear estimates are effort or size values, not clock-time records. Teams can use Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-shirt scales, with optional extended values and zero estimates. Linear uses those values for effort, completion, cycle graphs, project graphs, and Insights. Cycle capacity relies on velocity across the previous three completed cycles, measured by completed issue count or completed estimate points.
That model supports planning and delivery analysis, but it does not create a native hour log. Linear's official docs and pricing as of July 23, 2026 document issue fields, point estimates, cycles, and Insights, without documenting built-in per-issue timers, manual hour entries, timesheets, hourly rates, project budget caps, or budget alerts. Treat estimate points and tracked hours as separate inputs, then compare them only when your team has a clear review rule.
A free-standing timer works for a person who wants a lightweight record of time spent on Linear issues. It also works when billing does not require issue-level detail, approvals, rate rules, or budget alerts. The setup becomes fragile when multiple people track against the same Linear projects, rates differ by person or project, or managers need a clean handoff to billing or payroll review.
Everhour's Linear integration uses its browser extension to embed issue timers, manual time logging, estimates, reported time, and a day or week timesheet inside Linear. The integration syncs active Linear projects and issues, then supports reports by Linear labels, projects, cycles, team members, status, and time periods. Everhour Overtimes can also apply daily and weekly overtime limits, 1.5x and 2x tiers, Team Hours visibility, and payroll calculations from hourly cost and tracked time.

Yes. Toggl Track lists Linear as a browser-extension integration, and Toggl says its Chrome, Edge, and Firefox extension adds a Start timer link inside supported tools. Time started from another app can use the web app's description and tags, and Toggl matches a Track project name when one exists.
No. Toggl says time started through the browser extension can bring over a description, tags, and a matching project, but it does not add tasks automatically. Teams that need task-level reporting from Linear issues need a separate structure for keeping issue context usable in the time records.
No. Linear estimates are effort or size values. Linear uses them for effort totals, percentage completion, cycle graphs, project graphs, and Insights. They are separate from clock-time entries. Billable hours need tracked time entries, a billing rule, and a rate source outside Linear's estimate scale.
Toggl Track lists Free, Starter at $9 per license/month, Premium at $14 per license/month for the first annual year renewing at $18, and Enterprise custom. Starter includes billable rates plus project estimates and alerts, while Premium adds fixed fee projects, timesheet approvals, scheduled reports, profitability analysis, and fully customizable reports.
Keep Linear as the issue context, then choose a time layer based on the review you need. Linear Insights on Business and Enterprise covers issue-flow measures such as effort, cycle time, lead time, issue age, and burn-up charts. Payroll, billing, rate, or budget review needs tracked hours connected to those commercial rules.
Everhour Overtimes supports daily and weekly overtime limits, regular time, 1.5x overtime, and 2x double overtime. Admins can review overtime in Team Hours, then use the Payroll dashboard to calculate overtime pay and gross pay from each employee's hourly cost and tracked time.
Everhour syncs active Linear projects and issues, including issue status and tag changes after sync. Reports can use Linear labels, projects, cycles, team members, issue status, and time periods, so tracked time stays tied to the same work structure the team uses in Linear.
Run timers inside Linear, keep issue time tied to reports, and route overtime through daily and weekly rules. Everhour turns tracked work into review-ready team hours.
