Get a desktop ping the moment a new incident breaches SLA. 🚨

You already know the feeling. An incident's been open for hours, quietly aging past its SLA — and you find out when someone else asks about it. Now you're not managing the incident, you're managing the escalation.

The problem was never that you don't care. It's that you can't sit staring at a Jira board all day. Between deployments, meetings, and everything else, incidents slip through simply because nobody was looking at that exact moment.


So Manager's Companion watches for you.

🔎 You define what "an incident" means. Paste in your own JQL — open incidents, a specific issue type, a priority, whatever fits your team. No rigid presets.

⏱️ Set your SLA. The monitor flags incidents that are aging past your threshold, so "getting old" is visible before it's a problem.


🔔 Get pinged instantly.
When a new incident appears, you get a desktop notification — even if the dashboard is in a background tab. No refreshing, no staring, no missing it.


📌 Pin what matters.
Favourite the incidents you're tracking most closely so they stay front and center.


🔕 Mute when you need to.
In a war room and already on it? Silence the alerts temporarily without turning the monitor off.


It just runs in the background and taps you on the shoulder at the one moment that matters — the moment something new breaches SLA.

Catch it when it happens, not when it's escalated. That's the whole point.

And like everything in Manager's Companion, it's fully client-side — the polling happens in your browser, your Jira token never leaves it, and there's no server in the middle.

Privacy Policy for Manager's Companion Last Updated: 5 July 2026 At Manager's Companion, privacy is a core design principle rather than an afterthought.

Your Jira credentials and application data stay on your device. The extension communicates only with your own Atlassian Jira Cloud instance to retrieve the information needed to displ...

Manager's Companion — Zero Cost, Immediate Payback

  The problem it solves Every engineering lead spends time each morning doing the same manual work: chasing Jira for what's open, figuring out who's actually available (leaves, holidays, on-call), checking for new incidents, and then hand-assembling all of it into a status update for their own manager. It's repetitive, error-prone, and it pulls senior people away from actually leading. Manager's Companion turns that 30–45 minute daily scramble into a two-minute, one-click report. What each lead is equipped with Instead of juggling five browser tabs and a spreadsheet, every lead gets one dashboard : Instead of… They now have… Manually querying Jira and copying numbers A live daily report generated in one click Guessing who's off or on-call An accurate, real-time availability & on-call view Finding out about incidents late An automatic incident monitor with instant desktop alerts Screenshotting messy dashboards for email A clean, presentation-ready report they can...

I got tired of spending an hour every morning rebuilding the same Jira report — so I built this.

  Every single day, no matter what was going on, that report had to go out. Hypercare? It still had to go out. Deployment day with a hundred things on fire? Still had to go out. Slammed with back-to-back meetings, or sitting in an airport with a laptop on my knees while travelling? It still had to go out. Because that daily report isn't optional. It's how the team stays aligned, how stakeholders stay informed, and — let's be honest — how you keep a small issue from turning into an escalation. Skip a day and the questions start. Miss a signal and you're explaining it after the fact. So I was spending 45–60 minutes every morning doing the same thing: running the same JQL queries, tallying the same KPIs, checking who's on leave, noting on-call, formatting it into something readable, and pasting it into email. Rinse and repeat. On my best days it was tedious. On my worst days it was the last thing I had capacity for — and those were exactly the days it mattered most. ...
