A home for the project, not another workflow to configure.
Jira is a deep, configurable tracker for large organisations. Current is for product teams that want the conversation, the context and the code in one calm place, instead of another workflow to maintain.
Where Current is different
- Nothing to configure
- Projects have phases from idea to shipped. Pick one, or let the Linear status and merged PRs move it for you.
- What moved, written for you
- At most three lines at the top of each project: what was decided, what shipped, what’s stuck. Written by the agent, read in seconds.
- Build in the same place
- Agents code on their own branch from the project’s context, with a live preview to comment on.
Where Jira is good
- Highly configurable workflows and permissions.
- Fits large organisations and compliance needs.
- A large marketplace of add-ons.
Together
Current focuses on GitHub and Linear today. Teams moving off Jira usually start by linking their repos and running new projects in Current.
