Pulse Companion
Browser extension — log Jira time from any tab
Available on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
The half of time tracking a Jira app can never reach: a live timer on your toolbar, an offline queue, calendar import, and one-click logging from GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
A Forge app only exists inside Jira. That is exactly the wrong place to be when the work is happening — you are in a pull request, in a meeting, or on a support ticket in another tab. Pulse Companion covers that ground.
It puts a live count-up timer on the browser toolbar, so elapsed time is visible without switching context. It detects when you are idle and offers to subtract the gap. It watches GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket for an issue key in the branch or PR title and offers a one-click log against it. It imports events from Google and Outlook calendars so meetings become worklogs instead of evaporating.
Crucially, it queues offline. Log on a plane or a bad connection and entries sync when you are back — something a server-rendered Forge app structurally cannot do. It also handles multiple Jira sites, switching between them without re-authenticating.
The extension is free forever on every surface, with no paid tier planned. If it saves you time, there is a Support Pulse link — that is the whole business model.
