# Starlie for Jira

> Native macOS desktop app for Jira Cloud and self-hosted Jira — search, sprint boards, and issue editing. 7-day free trial; US prices $2.99/month, $14.99/year, or $29.99 lifetime. Local prices may vary. Jira content flows directly between the user's Mac and their Jira instance.

Starlie is a true native Mac application (not a browser or Electron wrapper) for Jira Cloud and self-hosted Jira. It requires macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later and is available on the Mac App Store with a 7-day free trial (US prices: $2.99/month, $14.99/year, or $29.99 one-time lifetime license). There is no Starlie account. Jira Cloud users sign in through Atlassian OAuth 2.0 (3LO), and tokens are stored in the macOS Keychain on the device. Starlie is listed on the Atlassian Marketplace as a partner app, reviewed and approved for distribution. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Atlassian; Jira is a trademark of Atlassian.

Core features: ⌘K quick search across issues, summaries and projects; advanced search with full JQL, autocomplete and syntax highlighting; the active sprint as a native kanban board with drag-and-drop that syncs to Jira instantly; a full issue view with description, fields, subtasks and comments in a real Mac window; and an Outline window showing epics, stories and subtasks across projects as a single tree. The app integrates with native macOS notifications, light and dark mode, and multi-window.

Architecture and data handling: issues, comments, attachments and user details are requested directly between the user's Mac and Atlassian's official API over TLS, and cached locally. Starlie's only server, auth.starlie.app (operated in the EU), performs the OAuth token exchange and never receives Jira business data. The app contains no analytics, tracking, advertising, remote logging, or crash reporting.

- [Privacy Policy](https://starlie.app/privacy/): How Starlie handles data — Jira content stays on the user's device and is never sent to Starlie servers, sign-in tokens live in the macOS Keychain, the app has no analytics or tracking, and the website uses a cookie-free visitor counter. Also covers what data Starlie does receive (OAuth token exchange, purchase information from Apple, support emails), sub-processors (Atlassian, Apple, auth.starlie.app, Cloudflare), storage locations, retention, and GDPR rights.
