I was at my desk, constantly switching between Linear and PowerToys, and it was getting really frustrating. Every time I changed tools, my thoughts felt jumbled, and I often forgot the exact words I wanted to use for issues while waiting for Linear to load. Then I had an idea—what if I used PowerToys Run to create a new issue, similar to how I would on macOS with apps like Things or OmniFocus? I imagined setting it up so I could quickly access Linear directly from PowerToys Run. I could type a specific command like “New Issue” followed by the details, all without switching applications. After doing that, everything became clearer.

I finally felt more in control, able to create tasks efficiently while staying focused, and I could tackle my day without getting lost in the transitions.

You can check out the project here and watch a demonstration of it in action.
