Time tracking app for software developers

Plan delivery with actual time from Jira

Log time without leaving Jira

Install eHour for Jira Cloud and map the projects you want to track. Developers start a timer or add hours inside the issue; each entry lands in eHour for approvals and reporting.

Project budgets
  • Website 18 / 40 h · 22 h left
  • Mobile App 52 / 60 h · 8 h left
  • API Platform 58 / 52 h · 6 h over

See how much budget each project has left

Set an hour budget for each project and watch the remaining balance change as work is logged. When logged hours start outrunning the budget, adjust the scope or staffing before the delivery date moves.

Hours per issue
  • WEB-142 Checkout flow rework 14h 30m
  • WEB-107 Payment provider integration 9h 15m
  • WEB-151 Search results caching 6h
  • WEB-129 Onboarding email flow 3h 45m

See which issues took the most time

Each synced Jira issue becomes a task in eHour, so reports show hours per issue. See where the work concentrated, then use that history when you plan similar work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does eHour integrate with Jira?
Yes. eHour has a native app for Jira Cloud. An administrator maps the selected Jira projects to eHour once; issues, status changes, and assignees then sync automatically. Developers can start a timer or add time inside the issue. See all integrations.

Can I see how much time went into each Jira issue?
Yes. Each synced Jira issue becomes a task in eHour, and you can add your own tasks for work outside Jira. Reports show hours per project or per issue, so you can see which issues take the most time.

Can I track project budgets?
Yes. Set planned hours per project and track actual time against them. Reports show remaining budget, where you're overrunning, and which projects are still on track.

Can I compare contracted and logged hours?
Yes. The Contracted vs Actual report shows each team member's contracted hours beside what they logged for the selected period, including the variance.

Does eHour monitor screens or activity?
No. eHour records the hours your team enters and nothing else. It does not take screenshots, log keystrokes, or track activity. Only the hours developers choose to submit are stored.

Can I separate billable and internal project time?
Yes. Flag projects as billable or internal. Reports break down time by type so you can see how much goes to client work versus internal tools, maintenance, or meetings.

Is there an API?
Yes. The REST API exposes projects, users, time entries, and reports for custom integrations with internal tools. Learn more about integrations.

Can developers use a timer instead of filling in timesheets?
Yes. Start a timer when you begin work, or fill in the weekly grid at the end of the day. Both methods land in the same timesheet.
