Starlie
Starlie
A fast, keyboard-driven Jira client for developers and PMs on Mac. No browser tabs, no spinners — open issues and fly through your board in a real Mac window.
Free download
Requires macOS 15 or later
Download the app and sign in with your Jira account. No Starlie signup, no sales call.
Native, fast, and built around the keyboard.
Jump anywhere with ⌘K — or go full JQL with autocomplete and syntax highlighting that suggest fields, operators and values as you type.
The active sprint as a real kanban board. Drag cards between columns and the change lands in Jira instantly.
Open a ticket and see every field, description, subtask and comment in a real Mac window. A true native app — not a website wrapped in Electron.
Epics, stories and subtasks across projects in a single expandable view — with status, assignee, priority and progress per epic. Something Jira's web UI can't show you.
Deeply integrated with macOS
From download to your first issue. No Starlie account — you sign in with the Jira account you already have.
Click Download for Mac to get the DMG. Starlie runs on macOS 15 or later and works with any Jira Cloud site.
Open the downloaded file and drag Starlie into your Applications folder, then launch it from Launchpad or Spotlight.
Click "Sign in with Atlassian". Your browser opens Atlassian's own secure sign-in page — Starlie never sees your password, and your tokens are stored in the macOS Keychain.
Review the requested access and accept for the Jira site you want to use. You're sent straight back to the app.
Your projects load right away. Pick one in the sidebar, or press ⌘K and type an issue key or a few words to jump anywhere.
Press ⌘K and start typing — an issue key, a summary, a project. Hit Return to open it.
Pick a project or a saved Space in the sidebar. The list shows type, status, priority and assignee for every issue at a glance.
Open an issue to see the description, subtasks and comments. Change status, assignee or priority from the detail view — or straight from the list with the context menu.
Open advanced search for full JQL with autocomplete and syntax highlighting — fields, operators and values are suggested as you type.
Switch to the board view for the active sprint and drag cards between columns — changes sync to Jira instantly.
The Outline window shows your work as a tree — epics, stories and subtasks across projects — with grouping, sorting and JQL scoping.
Still stuck? Email david@starlie.app — we answer fast.
Your credentials live in the macOS Keychain. Your issues, comments and attachments flow directly between your Mac and Atlassian's official API — our server only completes the secure sign-in and never sees your Jira content.
Download Starlie and feel the difference in the first minute.
