I built Mach Triage because I am honestly sick of the overhead of Jira and wanted a faster and more logical (to me) way to interact with tickets. Also I got tired of my boss being on my ass for not posting my slack standup notes every day.

For our company, updating a Jira ticket became more complicated than writing the actual code. Between mandatory dropdowns and input fields, context-switching, and browser tab chaos to keep up with which of the 500+ backlog im actually working and switching between. I was spending an stupid amount of time just trying to find and remember the issues I was supposed to be working on instead of, you know, actually working on them. After updating tickets and reclaiming RAM by closing the tabs, prepping for morning standups felt like digging for dinosaurs through my own commit history because it was easier to search git than Jira (for me).

So I built a native desktop escape hatch.

Mach Triage is a local-first, keyboard-driven command center. It integrates with your Jira, Linear, and GitHub Issues and also provides local only tracking as well as a combined workspace view.

The core mechanics:

Speed: It runs locally. Search and filtering are near instant. No sluggish web UI in the middle.

Focus: It strips out the noise. It’s built for moving tickets from To Do to Done, not generating burndown charts for middle management.

Almost Zero-Prep Standups: It reads your actual ticket activity and generates your daily standup update with one click. Of course you need to create the standup template as I'm sure the default won't just default for everyone.

To address the onboarding: Because we interface directly with your ticketing providers, you do need to authenticate via the web portal first so we can securely hand off the OAuth tokens to the local desktop client. But there is no credit card required (for the free version), and the core local triage and standup generation features are completely free for a single integration.

I built this to scratch my own itch, but I'm sure I can't be the only one that deals with this. I’d love for you to tear it apart. If the workflow is missing something critical, or if you think the approach is flawed, tell me. I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer questions.
