BucketLine

Visual label management for Linear. Drag issues between label buckets on a freeform whiteboard canvas.

---

What is this?

BucketLine gives you a whiteboard where each bucket is a label. Drag an issue from one bucket to another and the label updates in Linear instantly. Useful for triaging or reorganizing a large backlog at a glance.

• Freeform canvas -- pan and zoom freely; hold Space and drag to pan, scroll to zoom
• Moveable buckets -- drag any bucket anywhere on the canvas; layout is saved per team
• Resizable buckets -- resize buckets to fit your workflow; overlap prevention keeps things tidy
• Drag to relabel -- drop an issue onto a bucket to add that label (and remove the source label)
• Live refresh -- issues stay in sync with Linear every 90 seconds in the background
• Filters -- hide completed/canceled states, specific labels, or priorities
• Themes -- choose from Light, Dark, Violet, Rose, Emerald, Amber, or Cyan
• Draft cards -- duplicate an issue as a draft to stage it in multiple buckets before committing
• Context menu -- right-click any issue card to move, add labels, duplicate, remove, copy the issue ID, or open it in Linear
• Issue descriptions -- click the info icon on any card to read the full description inline
• Per-bucket search -- filter cards within a bucket by typing in the search bar at the top
