Intent
I need it when
Maintain control and visibility over time entries before final submission
Chronos allows manual review and adjustment of worklogs before submission to Jira. Users can round times, reorganize entries, and verify accuracy—ensuring only correct data reaches Jira.
Receive reminders to log time and avoid forgetting end-of-day time tracking
Chronos includes automatic reminder notifications at the end of the workday and menubar widget access for quick timer control, helping users maintain consistent time tracking habits without manual effort.
Track time across multiple Jira accounts or workspaces simultaneously
Chronos supports connecting and managing worklogs across multiple Jira accounts, making it ideal for freelancers and agency staff working with different clients. The app provides a unified view of all worklogs in one place.
Streamline daily Jira worklog management and reduce time spent on manual time entry
Chronos provides a clean, intuitive macOS desktop app that simplifies worklog submission with real-time timer tracking, manual review before submission, and smart search for recent issues. Users can start/stop timers directly from the app, avoiding the friction of Jira's web interface.
Access time tracking from the macOS desktop with minimal UI friction
Chronos is a native macOS app built with React Native, offering menubar widgets, desktop widgets, fullscreen mode, and customizable themes (light/dark). It integrates seamlessly with macOS workflows and provides quick access without opening a browser.
