Jira time tracking

Log time on Jira without opening a single issue.

TimeLogBridge turns Jira worklogs into a weekly board: search or auto-pull your assigned tickets, log time in seconds, and it's written straight back to Jira as a real worklog — not a copy in some other tool.

Why logging time in Jira itself is so easy to skip

Jira's own worklog dialog works fine — once you're already on the right issue. The friction is getting there: finding the ticket among hundreds in a project, opening it, scrolling to the worklog tab, filling in a duration format Jira is picky about, and doing that again for every single entry of the week. For anyone logging time across several tickets a day, that adds up to real, avoidable friction — and it's exactly why so many people just stop doing it until Friday, or stop entirely.

TimeLogBridge doesn't replace Jira's worklogs — it replaces the way you get to them.

Built for Jira

Everything a Jira-based team actually needs to log time fast.

Your assigned tickets, auto-loaded

"My tickets" pulls in what's assigned to you across projects, so most weeks you never need to search at all.

Search by project, epic, story or subtask

Need something that isn't assigned to you? Search Jira's hierarchy directly — project, epic, story, subtask — without leaving the board.

Real worklogs via the Jira REST API

Every entry is written back as an actual Jira worklog — visible on the issue, counted in reports, exactly as if you'd logged it in Jira itself.

Remaining estimate, kept in sync

Update the remaining time estimate in the same step as logging work, just like you would in Jira's own worklog dialog.

Works with custom Jira setups

Handles whichever custom field your instance uses for Epic Link and whatever your sub-task issue types are called — no manual configuration.

Your own API token, encrypted

Connect with your Jira email and a personal API token. It's encrypted at rest and used only server-side — never shown again, never sent to the browser.

Setup

Connect your Jira account in under two minutes.

1

Get a Jira API token

Create one at id.atlassian.com under API tokens — log in with the same email as your Jira account, name it (e.g. "Time logging"), and copy it.

2

Paste it into TimeLogBridge

Your Jira site URL is already set at the organization level; you just add your own email and API token in Settings.

3

Start logging on the weekly board

Your assigned tickets load automatically. Pick one, log the time, done — it's a real Jira worklog the moment you save it.

Jira time tracking FAQ

What Jira teams usually ask first.

Does this work with Jira Cloud or Jira Server/Data Center?+
TimeLogBridge connects to Jira Cloud, using your site URL and a personal API token. On-premise Jira Server/Data Center is not currently supported.
Is this the same as Tempo Timesheets?+
No third-party Jira marketplace app is required. TimeLogBridge is a separate weekly board that writes to Jira's own native worklogs over the REST API - it doesn't need or use Tempo.
Do you need my Jira password?+
Never. You connect with your Jira account email plus a personal API token generated from your own Atlassian account - the same kind of token Jira itself recommends for API access.
What if our Epic Link field or sub-task types are customized?+
TimeLogBridge resolves your instance's actual Epic Link field id and sub-task issue types automatically, so custom Jira setups work without extra configuration.
Can I still see and edit these worklogs directly in Jira?+
Yes - every entry is a standard Jira worklog. It shows up on the issue and in any report exactly as if it had been logged from Jira's own worklog dialog.
