Seamlessly work with Jira Cloud directly inside VS Code. Create, edit, and manage issues without leaving your editor.
After working on Jira integrations at Atlassian, I kept running into the same problems:
- Slow, clunky workflows
- Features that break in real-world setups
- Too much context switching
So I rebuilt it from scratch—focused on speed, reliability, and daily use.

- Create and edit issues

Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P) - Run:
