Sprint-Desk – Log Jira Time Without Leaving VS Code

Stop switching tabs just to log time.

SprintDesk lets you log Jira work directly from VS Code — no browser, no context switching, no forgetting later.

If your team requires Jira time tracking, SprintDesk keeps you in your editor and gets the admin off your back.

⚡ Why SprintDesk

Most developers don’t forget to log time —
they avoid it because Jira breaks their flow.

SprintDesk fixes that by bringing Jira worklogs, tickets, and timers into VS Code, where you already work.

Work → log → done.

⏱️ Jira Time Tracking (the reason people install this)

• Start, pause, and stop a timer on any Jira issue
• Automatically logs time to Jira when you stop
• Manually log time (1h 30m, 45m, 2h)
• See total time logged per ticket
• No Jira tab required

This alone replaces the browser → Jira → worklog loop.

🎫 Ticket Access (without the clutter)

• Browse your Jira boards in the sidebar
• Filter tickets by status (To Do, In Progress, Review, Done)
• Open tickets in a clean, focused view
• Edit summaries, story points, assignees, and comments

Everything you need — nothing you don’t.

🌿 Create Git Branches from Jira Tickets

• One-click branch creation
• Automatic branch naming from issue key + summary
• Uses VS Code’s built-in Git integration

No copy-paste. No mistakes.

🎯 Common Use Cases

• Log Jira time without opening Jira
• Track work while staying in VS Code
• Quickly log time before standups or end of day
• Create correctly named branches from tickets
• Avoid “please log your hours” reminders
