A Windows desktop tool for recording time spent on different Jira tasks.
- Configure how many time-tracking slots you want available
- Integration to Jira REST API: Fetch task description when task-key has been entered (requires login)
- Time is reported in Jira time-logging format (eg. 2h 31m) to easily copy/paste into time-logging
- Jira issue keys are saved on program exit
- Posting spent time into Jira as a worklog with comment (using Jira REST API)
- Save time-tracking state, so your stopwatch continue to "run" even if you need to quit the program (e.g. you need to reboot, but still want to keep on recording time)
- Automatic re-login, if Jira session has expired
- Select issue keys from list of available issues - this list is controlled by choosing a JQL filter
Feature-requests are more than welcome :-)
Jira StopWatch has been compiled and tested to work on Linux Mint 17.0 with the Xamarin packages.
Anyone with a MacOSX available: I would love to know if everything works out of the box.
A setup file with the latest release can be downloaded here.
Watch the tutorial screencast: https://vimeo.com/146107370
After install, start the application and click the settings icon (gears icon). Enter the real base URL for your Jira server and press OK. Then click on the padlock to login to Jira.
Now write a Jira task id in one of the white textboxes. When you leave the textbox, the task description will be fetched from your Jira server and displayed below the textbox. Repeat this for the tasks you are currently working on.
Press the green PLAY button next to your task-id. The time-tracking textbox will now turn green, and after the first minute has passed, the time elapsed will change from "0m" to "1m".
If you press PLAY on another task, the previous will automatically pause.
The button to the right of the time box lets you post the time directly on Jira as a worklog along with a comment. If the posting is successful, the timer will automatically reset, otherwise the timer will not be changed. Note that since the smallest time unit in StopWatch is minutes, the button will be disabled until at least 1 minute has passed.
Click on the rightmost button to reset the time to 0m.
That's pretty much it!

1.3.1 2015-12-16 Cosmetic UI tweaks. My computer was running with a default zoom-level of 125%,
which meant that things did not look correct on default zoom level.
1.4.0 2015-12-25 Worklog comments can now be saved without posting to Jira immediately. Useful
if your task takes a long time and you want to note down your progress while
waiting to submit the worklog until the end.
New option to enable timers to be editable. Useful if you forgot to start the
timer when starting work. Times can be entered both Jira style like 1h 15m and
the "classic" way like 1.25h
Thanks goes to [Seth Feldkamp](https://github.com/sfeldkamp) for the ideas to
both features and for testing.
