TopTracker → Jira · macOS menu bar

Your TopTracker time, already in Jira.

A small native utility that sits in your menu bar, follows TopTracker sessions locally, reads the Jira issue key out of each description, and posts the worklogs you confirm.

DEMO-42 · Checkout regression sweep

Started (local time)	Jira issue	TopTracker description	Interval duration

Durations are source timestamp intervals. The live timer is an estimate; Jira totals need reconciliation.

How it works

Capture is automatic. Posting is not.

The tracker runs unattended in the menu bar. The write to Jira waits for you — because a timer interval is not a billable total, and nobody enjoys un-posting a worklog.

It follows TopTracker

Reads the app's log and SQLite database read-only, WAL included. File events coalesce at 250 ms; a 15-second metadata check catches anything a watcher missed, including a replaced file.

It finds the issue key

A session described DEMO-42 Checkout sweep maps to DEMO-42. A Jira URL works too. Anything without a key stays Unassigned — it is never guessed at.

You confirm the day

Pick a work date, compare against your own Jira worklogs, edit issue, seconds and comment inline, tick what should post, confirm the dialog. Only then does it write.

Jira · Review worklogs

A preview you can argue with before Jira sees it.

Every field in the preview is editable. Existing Jira time sits beside your sessions for context and is never subtracted for you.

Issue	Seconds	Started / timezone	Comment	Your day total	Comparison
DEMO-42	2478	13:45 +01:00	Checkout regression sweep	0	New — no worklog of yours today
OTHER-7	4927	09:31 +01:00	Migration follow-up	1800	You already logged 30m — check before posting
Unassigned	3840	11:02 +01:00	Sprint planning	—	No issue key — not eligible to post

Under one minute

Sessions shorter than 60 seconds never reach the review list.

Only your worklogs

Comparison looks at entries under your own Jira account, nobody else's.

Five-minute freshness

A preview older than five minutes must be compared again before it can post.

Grouped by local day

Entries group by session start date in this Mac's timezone. Split overnight work yourself.

What it touches

Read-only on your machine. HTTPS to Jira. Nothing else.

It reads

TopTracker's application.log
TopTracker.db — read-only, WAL included

It never reads

Token values
TopTracker settings
Screenshots
Keyboard and mouse counters

It stores

Session history in ~/Library/Application Support/TopTracker Companion. Jira credentials go to the macOS Keychain, never to a file the app writes.

It sends

Only the entries you ticked, only to your Jira site, over HTTPS with redirects refused. Authorization happens in your own browser; disconnecting is one click.

Before you install

What it does not do yet.

A utility, not a system of record. The honest list, so nothing surprises you on day one.

Durations are estimates

Displayed time is the interval between source timestamps, not an authoritative billed total.

No built-in mappings

No company, project or activity-to-issue rules ship with the app. Descriptions carry the key, or the session stays unassigned.

Jira needs a setup step

Connecting requires a registered Atlassian integration and an authorization service — the hosted default, or your own HTTPS origin.

It cannot track while quit

No tracking while the app is quit or the Mac is asleep. Launch at login is not implemented yet.

A missing stop is not a running timer

Starts recovered after a crash or a log rotation are labelled last-reported, never assumed live.

Tied to TopTracker's shape

Log and schema strings were read on TopTracker [YOUR TESTED VERSION]. An upgrade there may need an update here.

Stop retyping your week into Jira.

Install it, open the review window on Friday, tick the day, confirm. That is the whole routine.
