For people who want the week's changes, not every event
Six emails about one issue, folded into one summary.
Jira emails you as things happen, and groups only the changes made to one issue within about ten minutes: an issue commented on three times in a week, moved twice and mentioning you once is six emails. Digest folds everything that changed in a period into one structured summary — grouped how you choose, delivered to an in-app inbox, read when you choose. It never filters, rewrites or intercepts Jira's own notifications.
Free for sites up to 10 users, and one subscription is free on any site. Above that it is priced per user per month and billed by Atlassian — see pricing on the Marketplace.
No egress. Read-only scopes — nothing leaves your Atlassian tenant.

The gap this fills
Jira's personal notification settings can silence email, but only event by event. The closest native feature is a filter subscription, which mails the issues a saved filter matches on a schedule — the list, not what changed in each of them. The usual workaround is a reporting suite: dashboards, gadgets, sometimes an external server, when all that was wanted was a summary that arrives on its own.
Capabilities
What it does
One subscription, one summary
Pick a JQL query, a cadence — daily at your own hour, or weekly on a chosen day — a time zone and a grouping. From then on, each period folds into a single digest.
Everything that changed, classified
Issues created, status transitions, assignments to you, priority changes, and comments that @mention you — each listed once, grouped by project, assignee or status.
See only what you may see
Digests are re-filtered against your own permissions the moment you open them. Anything you cannot see is stripped and counted — the check fails closed, never leaks.
Honest about silence
A period with no changes delivers nothing, unless you ask for empty digests. JQL that Jira rejects pauses the subscription and shows Jira's own error message rather than failing silently; a valid query that simply matches nothing is reported as an empty period.
Truncates honestly
When more than 50 issues changed, the digest shows the 50 most notable, says so, and gives a deep link that opens the full result in the issue navigator, counted for you.
Runs entirely on Atlassian infrastructure
Built on Forge with read-only Jira scopes and no external calls. The app cannot change an issue and cannot send your data anywhere.
Walkthrough
The Monday-morning status summary, end to end
-
Subscribe once
One JQL query for the team's project, weekly on Monday at 08:00 in your own time zone, grouped by status.
-
The week rolls itself up
Each run covers the window since the last successful one — created, moved, assigned, mentioned — so a late run covers the gap instead of dropping it.
-
Open the inbox before standup
What reached Done, what is stuck, who was assigned what, where you were mentioned — one page instead of a week of emails, read before anyone asks.
-
Each digest is yours alone
A digest is personal. It is generated with the app's own permissions, so when you open it, it is re-filtered against yours at that moment: entries you may not see are stripped and counted, never leaked.
Compared honestly
Against what you have today
| Question | Jira notifications | Filter subscription | Reporting suites | Digest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One issue changes six times in a week? | Six emails | Listed once, without the changes | Not addressed | One entry |
| Everything that changed against a JQL, as one list? | Not supported | The matching issues, not what changed | A dashboard you go and check | Delivered |
| Your own cadence, your own time zone? | As events happen | On a schedule you set | Whenever you look | Per subscription |
| Comments that @mention you, called out? | One email each | Not tracked | Not tracked | Own category |
| A quiet week — deliberate or broken? | Cannot tell | Opt-in | Cannot tell | Opt-in |
| Does issue data leave Atlassian? | No | No | Often — external servers | Never |
