Linearity

DESIGN

Linearity ships steady polish across Curve and Move, with Lottie export landing in February.

Current state
Linearity is shipping monthly bundle updates across Curve and Move — corner smoothing and path bending in 6.10, Super Resolution and improved snapping in 6.9, the Glass Effect in 6.8, and Lottie export for Move in 6.7. The cadence is consistent and the releases mix small per-release features with broader workflow expansions.
Where it's heading
The product is widening on two axes: Curve continues to gain higher-end design effects (Glass) and quality-of-life primitives (snapping, corner smoothing), while Move is expanding outward to native motion-graphics deliverables (Lottie). Together they look positioned to serve both static and motion design workflows from one toolset.
Prediction
Expect more delivery-format expansion on the Move side (likely After Effects-compatible export, additional web-native motion formats) and continued effects depth on Curve. The community hub introduced in 6.10 hints at platform investment beyond pure tooling.
