JIRA Pending Actions Tracker

Description

Track JIRA issues you viewed but didn't act on JIRA Pending Actions Tracker is a lightweight Chrome extension that helps you stay on top of JIRA issues you viewed but forgot to act on. It works quietly in the background while you browse your Atlassian JIRA board, automatically detecting issues you opened and left without taking a meaningful action such as adding a comment or transitioning the issue status. HOW IT WORKS: When you visit a JIRA issue page on your Atlassian Cloud instance, the extension begins a lightweight session. It monitors whether you took a meaningful action on the issue, such as submitting a comment or changing the issue status. If you navigate away or close the tab without performing any of these actions, the extension records that issue as a pending action requiring your follow-up. After a configurable period (default: 30 minutes), the extension sends you a browser notification reminding you about your unattended JIRA issues. Notifications are batched together so you receive a single, concise reminder rather than being overwhelmed by individual alerts. KEY FEATURES - Automatic Issue Detection: The extension detects when you visit a JIRA issue page on any Atlassian Cloud instance (*.atlassian.net). No manual tagging or bookmarking required. It recognizes standard JIRA issue URLs and extracts the issue key and title automatically. - Smart Action Recognition: The extension distinguishes between passive viewing and meaningful engagement. If you submit a comment or trigger a status transition on an issue, the extension recognizes that you have acted on it and will not flag it as pending. This prevents false reminders for issues you have already addressed. - Pending Actions Dashboard: Click the extension icon to open a compact popup dashboard showing all your pending JIRA issues. Each card displays the issue key, title, and how long ago you last viewed it. From the dashboard you can open the issue directly in JIRA, snooze it for later, or mark it as done. - Snooze Functionality: Not ready to address an issue right now? Snooze it. The extension moves snoozed issues to a separate tab and automatically restores them to your pending list when the snooze period expires. This lets you defer follow-up without losing track of the issue entirely. - Done Tracking: Mark issues as done when you have addressed them outside of JIRA or when they no longer require your attention. Done items are kept in a separate tab for your reference. You can restore any done item back to the pending list if needed. - Configurable Notifications: Control how often you receive batch reminders. Choose from intervals of every 30 minutes, every 1 hour, every 2 hours, or every 4 hours. You can also disable notifications entirely if you prefer to check the dashboard manually. - Viewed Threshold Setting: Configure how long you need to view an issue before the extension considers it "viewed." The default is 15 seconds, which filters out accidental clicks and quick glances. Only issues you spent genuine time reviewing will be tracked. - Batched Notifications: When reminder notifications fire, the extension groups your pending issues into a single notification showing up to three issues with their keys and titles, plus a count of additional items. This prevents notification fatigue while keeping you informed. - Local-Only Data Storage: All data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's built-in storage API. No data is sent to external servers. Your JIRA activity information never leaves your machine. The extension does not require sign-in or account creation. - Minimal Resource Usage: The extension uses Chrome's alarms API for scheduling rather than keeping background processes running continuously. The content script uses efficient URL polling and DOM observation with debouncing to minimize performance impact on JIRA pages. NAVIGATION The popup interface is organized into three views accessible from the side navigation: 1. Pending: Shows issues awaiting your action, sorted by how long ago you viewed them. Each card has buttons to open the issue in JIRA, snooze it, or mark it as done. 2. Snoozed: Shows issues you have deferred, with a badge indicating when the snooze period expires. You can open snoozed issues in JIRA or restore them to the pending list immediately. 3. Done: Shows issues you have marked as complete. You can open these in JIRA or restore them to pending if you need to revisit them. PRIVACY This extension is designed with privacy as a core principle. It only activates on Atlassian JIRA issue pages (.atlassian.net/browse/). It does not collect personally identifiable information, does not access your JIRA credentials, and does not communicate with any external servers. All tracked data (issue keys, titles, URLs, and timestamps) is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage and is never transmitted anywhere. The extension does not track your general browsing activity, does not read page content beyond JIRA issue metadata, and does not inject any tracking scripts. It only monitors specific DOM elements on JIRA issue pages to detect comment submissions and status transitions. PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED - Storage: Saves your pending actions, snoozed items, done items, and settings locally in Chrome. - Alarms: Schedules periodic reminder checks without requiring a persistent background process. - ActiveTab: Accesses the current JIRA page to detect issue information when you interact with the extension. - Notifications: Displays browser reminder notifications about your pending JIRA issues. - Host Permission (*.atlassian.net): Runs the content script on JIRA pages to detect issue viewing sessions and meaningful actions. IDEAL FOR - JIRA users who review many issues daily and need help remembering which ones still need action. - Team leads and project managers who triage issues and want to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. - Developers who browse through bug reports and feature requests and want a lightweight reminder system. - Anyone who uses Atlassian JIRA Cloud and wants a simple, privacy-respecting way to track their unfinished work.
