JiraWidget

A simple desktop widget for displaying Jira issue counts. Integrates with Jira Server and Jira Cloud.

The example above shows 2 configured counts but you can configure as many as you'd like.

Notes / Features

• The counts are refreshed once per minute.
• Clicking on a label/count will open a Jira search (in the default browser) listing the issues.
• The widget will always stay on top of other windows.
• By default labels with a 0 count will be shown but they can be optionally hidden with "hideWhenZero": true.
• As labels are shown/hidden the app will resize. By default this will be anchored to the top left of the app but this can be changed with anchorBottom and anchorRight.
• username and password are optional and may be omitted if target issues are publicly accessible.
• When using Jira Cloud, you'll need to generate an API token and use that as the password.
