Pulse

Every Jira team eventually hits the same wall: logging work is tedious enough that people put it off, then reconstruct a week from memory on Friday afternoon. The numbers that come out of that are fiction, and every report built on them inherits the error.

Pulse attacks the friction directly. Start a timer from the issue view, or type "WEB-142 1h30m fixed the checkout redirect" and press enter. Back-date a worklog by picking the day. Copy yesterday, or copy last week, in one click. Save a recurring entry like "standup 15m" as a template and fire it daily. When you do need to fill a gap, the bulk page gives you a fifteen-row grid of day / issue / hours / note, plus unlimited CSV import.

On top of logging sits the part managers care about: a real timesheet with submit-and-lock enforcement, an eight-week trend, weekly targets, and reports you can slice by project, person, or sprint. It runs entirely on Atlassian Forge — your worklog data never leaves Atlassian infrastructure, which is what earns the Runs on Atlassian badge.

Pulse is free forever. There is no seat limit, no trial timer, and no feature held hostage. A paid Pulse Teams tier is planned for org-scale approvals and capacity planning, but everything described here stays free.
