Why our app is Better Than Jira Calendar

Flexibility of Multiple Calendars & Scopes
Our app lets each user create any number of calendars, scoped by project, filter, or JQL. You can track personal tasks, team sprints, or cross-project initiatives in separate calendars—something Jira’s project calendar single project-bounded view simply cannot do.
Richer Viewing Options
Needing more than a simple month grid? Our app delivers day/week/month/timeline/list modes—and even hourly breakdowns—so teams can plan down to the hour. Jira project calendar offers only a basic grid without time-of-day detail.
Advanced Filtering & Coloring
JQL-based Quick Filters and rule-driven card coloring in our app greatly outpace Jira’s project calendar static type/status/assignee filters and fixed status colors. You can highlight by priority, component, or custom criteria.
Integration with External Calendars & Reminders
Our app's ICS subscription enable you to overlay your personal calendar on Jira work —plus pull in reminders from the Reminder app.
Granular Sharing
Our app empowers calendar owners to share specific calendars. With Jira project calendar, you simply have only one calendar for the project which is acessible to all users with required permissions.
Customizable Card & Preview Layouts
In our app you choose which fields appear on the card (assignee, time, summary, etc.) and in the issue preview. Jira project calendar lacks any form of card configuration.
