Open-source tool / Go
Linstash
A safe off-ramp for moving inactive Linear issue trees into a self-hosted Kan workspace—without treating archival like deletion.-
01The problem
Linear is excellent for active work, but completed issue trees still consume workspace capacity. I wanted a local, self-hosted archive without losing project structure or history.
-
02The approach
Linstash discovers Linear teams, projects, statuses, and issue trees; previews their Kan destinations; copies them; and reads the result back before it archives anything at the source.
-
03Designed for recovery
Planning is read-only, destructive steps require confirmation, partial writes leave Linear untouched, and source issues are archived reversibly rather than deleted.
-
04Built as a product
The single Go executable includes interactive configuration, diagnostics, idempotent state, import and off-ramp workflows, cross-platform installers, documentation, and automated tests.
