cloky helps you turn tracked time into Jira worklogs without juggling spreadsheets, copy-paste, or end-of-day cleanup. Connect your preferred time source, review entries in a clean daily or weekly view, and push entries that are not yet logged to Jira when you are ready. cloky supports Timing, Toggl Track, and fully manual entry, so you can keep your workflow even when your day does not fit one tool. What you can do with cloky: - Connect Timing or Toggl and pull recent entries automatically - Create manual time entries and run manual timers - Review entries by day or week before you push worklogs to Jira - Filter and search by title, notes, project, or Jira key - See which entries already have a Jira worklog before you push - Push all pending entries or only today's work - Keep working from cached data when you are offline Built for developers, consultants, and teams who already live in Jira, cloky reduces the friction between tracking time and logging it accurately.
