Focal

Search and triage issues across all your Jiras — Cloud and Data Center, side by side — from a native macOS app.

Focal is local-first: your tokens stay in the macOS Keychain and requests go straight from your Mac to your Jira. Nothing is proxied through a third party.

What it does

Cross-instance search
One JQL query fans out across every configured Jira instance in parallel — Cloud and Data Center alike — with results streaming in as they arrive and per-row server pills. If a server fails, Focal names it instead of silently reporting success.
Boards & sprints
Kanban, Scrum, and Simple boards with columns pulled from Jira's own board configuration, a sprint picker, status-category dots on every card, and your admin-configured quick filters rendered right above the columns.
View & edit issues
Descriptions, comments, attachments, links, and edit history — rendered as Markdown. Edit descriptions and comments, transition status, change priority and assignee, post comments, and @mention teammates so Jira actually notifies them.
Create issues
A New Issue form driven by each project's real create screen: required fields enforced, custom fields generated automatically, an assignee typeahead, and drag-and-drop, paste, or file-picker attachments with inline image embedding.

Your tokens never leave your Mac

Privacy isn't a feature bullet — it's how Focal is built.

Tokens live in the macOS Keychain

Your Jira Personal Access Tokens are stored in the macOS Keychain — never in plain-text config files, and never on anyone's server.

Straight from your Mac to your Jira

Requests go directly from your machine to your Jira instances — or through a proxy you run locally. Nothing is proxied through, sent to, or collected by a third party.

No telemetry

No analytics, no tracking, no phone-home. The app never contacts this website.
