Enhance Jira with instant story point insights, assignee workload tracking, persistent breadcrumb navigation & other features.

Jira Boost — Developer-First Jira & Confluence Enhancement Stop losing context. Start moving faster. Jira Boost supercharges your Atlassian workflow with persistent navigation, sprint tooling, ticket change tracking, and live GitHub integration — all injected seamlessly into Jira Cloud without leaving the page. Features Persistent Navigation Breadcrumb Bar An always-visible sticky bar at the bottom of every Jira and Confluence page tracks your recently visited tickets and pages. One click gets you back to any prior context — no menus, no searching. - Unified Jira + Confluence history — your trail spans both tools in a single bar, reflecting real cross-tool workflows - Smart deduplication (Move-to-Front) — revisiting a ticket moves it to the front; no duplicate clutter - Pinned items — pin any ticket or Confluence page to the left side of the bar so it never scrolls away, perfect for tickets you're actively working during a sprint - Special page labels — Backlog, Sprint, Boards, and Search Results are tracked with descriptive labels, not just raw URLs - Configurable item count — choose how many items appear in the bar from Settings - Cross-tab synchronization — history is global and persists across all tabs and browser restarts Sprint View Enhancements Jira Boost injects a team-filtering toolbar directly into your sprint backlog view. - User avatar filter bar — click any team member's avatar to instantly filter the backlog to their tickets, with no page reload - Multi-select — filter by multiple assignees simultaneously - Instant bidirectional sync — selecting a user in Jira's native filter bar updates the Jira Boost bar and vice versa - Story points visualization — total story points are surfaced directly in sprint views so you can gauge sprint load at a glance Ticket Change Tracking & Diff View Never miss an update to a ticket description again. - Manual tracking — click the watch icon on any Epic, Story, or Issue to start tracking it - Change detection — SHA-256 hashing detects when a tracked ticket's description has changed since your last visit; the "View Changes" button turns green as a visual alert - Side-panel diff view — a Git-style inline diff slides in from the right, showing additions in green and deletions in red - Acknowledge changes — mark updates as seen to reset the indicator; a tooltip provides guidance on the workflow - Configurable FIFO limit — set the maximum number of tracked tickets (up to 50) in Settings Developer Side Panel — GitHub Integration A native-looking "Developer" block is injected directly into the Jira issue side panel, populated with live data from GitHub. - Pull Requests section — shows linked PRs with title, direct link, CI/CD build status (green/red/gray dot), review status (approved / changes requested / pending), author (@username), and repository name - Branches section — searches GitHub for branches containing the Jira issue key, even across repositories with 1,000+ branches; displays a relative timestamp ("2h ago") with a hover tooltip showing the exact date and time - Manual refresh — a refresh button in the panel header triggers a fresh GitHub fetch with a live spinner - Connected account display — Settings shows your linked GitHub @username and provides a guided link to GitHub's token creation page with the required scopes (repo, read:user) pre-selected Who Is This For? Software engineers, tech leads, and product managers who live in Jira and need faster context-switching, live sprint visibility, tighter Git traceability, and instant awareness of ticket description changes. --- Requirements - Jira Cloud (*.atlassian.net) - GitHub account and API token (for PR and Branch features only) - Chrome or Firefox --- Privacy No external servers.
