For many teams, Jira has been the go-to tool for keeping projects on track, managing tasks, and organizing workflows. But as companies grow and projects get more complex, the same question always pops up: how do you make Jira more than just an issue tracker – how do you turn it into a real hub for time tracking in jira<\/strong>, teams, and day-to-day operations? That\u2019s exactly where <\/span>AppTime<\/b><\/a> by <\/span>Almarise<\/b><\/a> steps in.<\/span><\/p>\n

This all-in-one Jira app brings together flexible timesheets, smart work planning, and complete team and organization management, so basically, everything you need :)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, with AppTime, managers get the visibility, control, and insights to keep everything running smoothly. Whether you\u2019re leading agile sprints, running service ops, or coordinating projects across departments, AppTime gives you the tools to plan, track, and optimize – all without leaving Jira!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Smarter Time Tracking \u2013 Flexible Timesheets<\/h2><\/div>

Time tracking in Jira has never been easier. With <\/span>AppTime<\/b><\/a>, users can log work directly in the issue view: effortlessly, without extra steps or external tools. Every worklog is automatically collected and visualized through <\/span>clear, customizable statistics<\/b>, and you can <\/span>track time with custom attributes<\/b>, capturing additional data tailored to your team\u2019s workflow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your time data can be explored across multiple views: a <\/span>grid view<\/b> for detailed analysis, a <\/span>list view<\/b> for compact summaries, and a <\/span>visual time chart<\/b> that instantly shows how your team spends its hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

AppTime\u2019s <\/span>Timesheets module<\/b> transforms these worklogs into <\/span>actionable insights<\/b>. You can <\/span>create detailed timesheets, filter and group data, share reports with teammates, and export them to popular formats such as XLSX or CSV<\/b>. The module also allows defining <\/span>unlimited time types<\/b>, such as <\/span>billable or internal work<\/b>. It also allows saving personalized timesheet configurations for recurring reporting needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

For organizations using <\/span>Jira Service Management<\/b>, AppTime extends time tracking directly to the <\/span>customer portal<\/b>. It enables employees and customers to log time or view timesheets securely and efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, thanks to its built-in <\/span>approval workflows<\/b>, managers can define <\/span>simple or multi-stage review processes<\/b>, ensuring every hour logged is accurate, compliant, and properly approved- making it easy to maintain control and transparency at every level.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

From Planning to Execution<\/h2><\/div>

Time tracking is just the foundation. AppTime takes you further, bridging the gap between planning and delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Work Plans module<\/b> lets you plan and monitor work across Jira issues, projects, sprints, versions, and even JSM organizations. You can <\/span>assign multiple users or entire teams, estimate remaining effort, and track progress vs. plan in real time<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each plan is <\/span>dynamic, shareable, and fully customizable<\/b>, making it easy to adapt when priorities shift or different stakeholders need tailored views. With Apptime, you can track plan execution in real time. We provide various execution tracking methods, including worklog-to-plan matching, issue resolution tracking, and story point estimation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Updated <\/span>capacity management tools<\/b> help identify overloads early and manage team availability efficiently, including <\/span>intelligent workload balancing and replacements<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Organize Your Teams and Structure Your Organization<\/h2><\/div>

Modern teams thrive on clarity and AppTime helps you build it. <\/span>For instance, with the <\/span>Teams and Organization Management<\/b> features, you can define your entire company structure directly in Jira.<\/span><\/p>\n

Create teams, assign members, set availability, and define roles and hierarchies. Each team gets its own <\/span>dashboard<\/b> showing workload trends, activity history, and performance insights over time.<\/span><\/p>\n

This level of transparency not only helps with planning but also supports better decision-making. It allows managers to understand who\u2019s available, who\u2019s overloaded, and how team capacity aligns with business goals.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Approvals, Access, and Accountability<\/h2><\/div>

Visibility means little without control. That\u2019s why AppTime includes a <\/span>completely rebuilt permissions engine<\/b> and <\/span>approval system<\/b> designed for enterprise environments.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can define exactly who can view, edit, approve, or manage specific data.<\/span>
\n<\/span>The <\/span>Approval Center<\/b> provides one clear overview of inconsistencies – missing hours, excessive work time, late logging, or empty days – helping managers spot issues before they become problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

AppTime\u2019s <\/span>multi-level time approval workflows<\/b> support partial approvals, offering the flexibility that growing teams need while maintaining strict accountability.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Engagements: See the Bigger Picture<\/h2><\/div>

AppTime\u2019s new <\/span>Engagements module<\/b> brings structure and meaning to all logged work.<\/span>
\n<\/span> It allows you to group related projects, service operations, R&D initiatives, or ongoing \u201cbusiness-as-usual\u201d activities into one clear view.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each engagement is organized into <\/span>phases<\/b> and <\/span>deliverables<\/b>, so you always know how every hour contributes to a larger objective, whether it\u2019s client work, internal development, or operational support.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a simple yet powerful way to connect your team\u2019s effort with your company\u2019s strategic goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Consistent Filtering and Seamless Navigation<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/div>

Finding the right data in a sea of worklogs, projects, and plans can be frustrating.<\/span>
\n<\/span> That\u2019s why AppTime comes with a <\/span>unified filtering system<\/b> available across all modules: Timesheets, Work Plans, Teams, and Engagements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Define your scope (projects, sprints, epics, or JSM organizations), apply attributes like time ranges or keywords, and filter by users, teams, or engagements. <\/span>The logic is always consistent, so once you learn it in one module, you can use it everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Filtering in AppTime is fast, intuitive, and refreshes in real time- giving you full control over even the most complex data.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
