Linear Not Loading or Stuck Syncing

Workaround available Web, macOS, Windows Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

Linear stores data locally (IndexedDB) and syncs in the background. If it's stuck on a syncing/offline spinner, check linearstatus.com, then restart and visit linear.app/refresh; linear.app/reset clears the local database.

Most likely fix: Check the status page.

Symptoms

Blank screen, endless loading, or a syncing/offline spinner in the top-left corner.

Why it happens

  • Linear outage or regional incident (e.g. June 2026 US-region incident)
  • Corrupted local browser database
  • Stale desktop or browser session
