EOV Notify for Jira v2.2.0

EOV Notify for Jira keeps the Jira issues assigned to you in the Windows tray, right by the clock. A new issue pops up the minute it is assigned, and the everyday things - change the status, log work, reassign, open the work folder - take a right-click instead of a trip to the browser. It grew out of an animator's daily work with Jira, and out of not wanting a browser tab open just for three buttons.

New issues, right away

When an issue is assigned to you, a pop-up appears by the clock: the key, who assigned it and the summary. Click it to open the issue in the browser. The tray icon shows how many are new, so you see them even if you missed the pop-up. When an issue you reported gets closed, you hear about that too. In the list, a new issue sits in the Inbox group until you sort it out: drag it into one of your groups or among the rest, and that's it. Don't want it? Turn it off in Settings, and new issues go straight into the main list.

Three lists in one window

Assigned, Resolved and Reported: who assigned it and when, how much is logged against the estimate, status, priority. Search by key, summary or person; filter by status, type and priority. Several projects can be shown at once.

A right-click instead of the browser

Change the status, resolve, reopen, reassign to a colleague from your favorites, log work with a comment, set or adjust the estimate. Select several issues to resolve them, reassign them or set an estimate in one go.

No connection? It waits

The VPN dropped and you still need to log your time. The work log goes into the Pending tab and reaches Jira by itself once the connection is back. Before each retry the app checks whether the last attempt got through, so the same time is never logged twice. The queue survives a restart.

Your own worklog history

Everything you log also stays with you: when, on which issue, how much and with what comment. If the issue is deleted from Jira, its work logs go with it - but you keep all of yours. The History button opens a page in the browser: newest first, grouped by day with a daily total, search by key, summary and comment text, period and project filters, CSV export. On first start the app pulls your own work logs for the last three weeks from Jira.

Your own order, only on your PC

A short title of your own instead of a long one from Jira, your own groups (which you can also reorder with the mouse), a manual order by drag and drop, issues pinned to the top. All of it is stored on your computer only and never sent to Jira: your colleagues see the issues as usual.

Issue folders

Each issue can have a work folder in the project folder: the app creates it with a running number and opens it in a new Total Commander tab or in File Explorer. Any other folder - references, a rig, scenes - can be linked to an issue just by dragging it from File Explorer onto the row.

Work Jira and home Jira

If you have more than one Jira, say the one at work and your own at home, each gets its own connection: URL, token, projects, your titles, groups, folders and worklog history. Switch with the drop-down at the top right or from the tray icon menu, and the app restarts in the other Jira. Work and home never mix, and pop-ups come from the Jira that is selected.

Issues from a list

A plain text file, one issue per line: the app creates them as a batch in the chosen project, type and epic, and assigns them straight away.

What it does not do

It never changes anything in Jira on its own: only what you click goes there. It does not store a password: you sign in with a Personal Access Token, kept in Windows Credential Manager. It does not work with Jira Cloud (*.atlassian.net addresses) - only Jira Server and Data Center. It does not replace Jira: boards, comments and editing descriptions stay in the browser. And it does not load your Jira: it checks at most once every 2 minutes, waits longer and longer while Jira is down, and if Jira asks to slow down, it waits as long as asked.
