Find overdue, stuck, and stale work with JQL
Native JQL is strong, but “issues stuck longer than N days” and similar ops checks are painful to keep correct. A small set of dedicated functions makes those filters reusable in boards, filters, and dashboards.

01 — The gap
Why ops JQL gets messy
Overdue, idle, and stale work usually needs date math plus status history. Hand-built JQL is easy to break when workflows change. Teams copy filters between projects and slowly diverge.
02 — What buyers usually want
Reusable functions, not one-off queries
- Overdue work relative to due date without brittle nested dates.
- Stuck / idle issues that have not moved for N days.
- Stale items for backlog hygiene reviews.
- Drop into filters and boards the same way as native JQL functions.
- Try free for 30 days, then paid from about USD 20/mo for teams of 10.
