One workflow, inside Jira

From logged hours to approved timesheets.

01

Log time on the issue

Start a timer or use a quick-log button for a known duration. Each entry is a native Jira worklog, authored by you.

02

Review the whole week

Edit daily entries in one grid. Copy last week or review suggestions from your Jira activity before adding them.

03

Approve team hours

Review submitted weeks or months. Approve the hours or return them for changes. Daylight locks submitted and approved periods against edits in the app.

04

Report and export

See hours by person and project, with rates and monthly budgets. Export a CSV for billing, payroll, or a project review.

Jira timesheet approvals

See who has submitted. Review what they logged.

Choose weekly or monthly submissions and assign approvers to each team. Review hours in Daylight, approve them, or send them back with changes requested.

Runs on Atlassian

Your time data stays on Atlassian.

Daylight runs on Atlassian Forge. Your hours and notes are native Jira worklogs; settings and supporting app data use Atlassian-hosted Forge storage. The Jira app sends no app data to external services and includes no third-party analytics.

Atlassian hosts the app and its data in your data-residency region. Your Jira worklogs remain if you uninstall Daylight.

The same features are included at every team size. Pricing follows your Jira site’s user count, and billing runs through Atlassian.

Annual billing

A fixed price for your user tier.

You pay the yearly price for the tier that covers your Jira site. Annual tiers have different boundaries from the monthly bands.

Example: 150 Jira users

Annual tier: 101–200 users

US$4,500/year

Select Annual in the Marketplace calculator for your site’s yearly quote. The calculator uses the annual tier, rather than multiplying your current monthly total by 12.

Get your annual price ↗

All amounts are in US dollars. Rates and examples checked against the public Marketplace listing on October 18, 2026. See current pricing on Atlassian Marketplace ↗
