Aevon Timesheets — Overview
Aevon Timesheets is an Atlassian Forge app that turns Jira into a complete time → approve → bill loop. People log time against Jira issues on a weekly calendar, submit each week for approval, and admins roll the approved hours up into billing-ready reports. Because it's built on Forge, your worklogs, approvals, and audit trail never leave Atlassian's infrastructure.
What is Aevon Timesheets?
Most Jira time-tracking apps are Connect-based: your worklog data is sent to the vendor's servers, and the approval workflow, billing view, and audit trail are sold as add-ons. Aevon takes a different approach:
- Forge-native. It runs entirely inside Atlassian. No external servers, no third-party data processors, no separate vendor security review.
- Approvals built in. A weekly approval workflow with per-account routing ships in the base product — not as a paid extra.
- Billing-ready. A finance-facing review pivot shows what's ready to bill, what's pending, and what's rejected, with approved hours locked and exportable to CSV.
