What is Circle?
Circle is an open-source project management interface inspired by Linear. Built with Next.js and shadcn/ui, it lets teams track issues, projects and teams in a clean, fast, keyboard-friendly UI. The repo is MIT licensed and serves as both a usable template and a reference implementation for modern React project-management apps.
Pros
- Clean, Linear-inspired interface out of the box
- Built with modern Next.js and shadcn/ui stack
- MIT licensed and open source for customisation
Cons
- Requires deployment and backend setup for production use
- Template-level features rather than a managed SaaS
Who should use Circle
Developers, indie teams and founders who want a polished, open-source project-management UI they can own and extend.
Who may not need it
Teams looking for a fully managed, hosted project-management service with native mobile apps and enterprise support.
