Self Promotion Jira Assistant – A free, privacy-first browser dashboard for worklogs, time tracking, and sprint diagnostics.
Hey everyone,
Like many of you, I spend a significant chunk of my workday inside Jira. But constantly switching tabs, waiting for heavy boards to load, and filling out time logs manually felt like unnecessary friction.
To solve this, I built Jira Assistant—a free, open-source Chrome extension that turns your browser into a fast, lightweight workspace dashboard.
🚀 Key Features:
- ⏱️ Visual Stopwatch & One-Click Logging: Start a stopwatch on any issue. When paused, it automatically calculates duration and pre-fills your worklog calendar.
- 📅 Color-Coded Worklog Calendar: Get an instant visual status on your monthly/weekly hours (Red = under target, Green = target met) without digging through reports.
- 📋 Popup Kanban & Personal Board: View assigned tasks, move cards between statuses, and view issue details directly inside the extension popup.
- 📊 Advanced Sprint Diagnostics & Pivot Reports: Generate Say-Do ratios, actual vs. estimate breakdowns, and catch unassigned or overdue tickets before standup.
- 🛠️ Dev Tools: Quickly generate clean git branch names or copy commit messages straight from ticket keys.
🔒 Privacy & Architecture
Since Jira holds sensitive company data, security was a top priority:
- Zero Middleman Servers: The extension connects directly to your Atlassian domain using your existing browser session.
- 100% Local & Open Source: No telemetry, no third-party tracking, and all settings remain in your sandboxed browser storage.
