Do you like having things under control? Atlassian provides many options to help you with planning, processes, and project performance evaluation. This process also includes reporting. We can create Dashboards in Jira, add some fancy Gadgets, and enjoy the feeling of having everything under control. But we might run into a problem: the portfolio of available Gadgets is limited. What if we cannot find the one we need? Does it mean we need to make a compromise between what we need and what the available options are? No – in that case, PocketQuery enters the stage 🌟!

Imagine you are approaching a new Confluence space and you find hundreds of pages, contributors, and comments; everything seems unorganized; lots of content. You take a sip out of your coffee and ask yourself: “Okay, what is actually going on here?” and then start tediously browsing through all pages one by one… But you can do better! Let us introduce our brand new app: Usage Statistics for Confluence (which happens to be the second Forge app on the Atlassian Marketplace) 🥈.

Receiving a report of a dead link in your documentation is always a bit embarrassing, right? We know it very well 🙈. Therefore, we created an app that we needed ourselves really urgently: Link Management for Confluence. And you might need it as well (and you can have it for FREE)! It’s a simple tool that helps you keep your documentation up-to-date, without any outdated links – with minimum effort. Before we introduce the app to you, there is an another exciting thing we want to share: it is the first app on Atlassian Marketplace built in Forge 🚀!

Meeting Notes is a simple Confluence page template. It helps to organize meetings, to make sure that all important topics are discussed, and also with coming to conclusions. Unfortunately, the amount of meetings we attend is sometimes enormous and it can be difficult to always stay up to date with all decisions and action steps… Especially with those, where our action is required. Sometimes, it would be nice to have someone, who reminds us when we forget about something, so we can fully concentrate on more important topics. After all, our brains are made for thinking and producing, and not to memorize dates, right 🤔?

In 2020, Atlassian organized a huge hackathon called Codegeist. The goal of this contest was to create new apps for Jira and Confluence. We participated and won the second place with our app “Lively Recorder for Confluence”.

With this month’s release of PocketQuery for Confluence Cloud we have made significant progress closing down the gap between the Server & Cloud versions, working towards the magical state of feature parity! 🦄 Just like with the last Task Reminder Cloud release, we are once more dropping 3 big new features that will help you be more productive in Confluence! So, let’s have a look at what’s been added.

Since Task Reminder for Confluence Cloud has gone live around the end of last year, it has grown quite a lot. You have been sending us great feedback and we went ahead and converted that feedback into features. Let’s have a look at what we added to Task Reminder recently.

Are you a document owner who wants to keep Confluence pages up to date? Do you have documents that need to be reviewed frequently (e.g., annually, biannually or quarterly) to ensure they're still valid? And are you looking for a process that makes it transparent for anyone to see what was reviewed when and by whom? A simple built-in Confluence feature might come in handy: Confluence Tasks.

Remember Codegeist 2020? For this contest by Atlassian, we submitted our app “Lively Recorder” and managed to land second place with it (see our blogpost)! Since then, Lively Recorder has undergone many changes, and we are excited to announce that it’s available on the Marketplace starting today!

We would like to give a huge THANKS to you for making this first year of Lively Apps so unbelievably amazing! When we founded this company at the beginning of 2020, we had no idea about the crazy ups and downs awaiting us. Let’s end this year on a positive note and revisit some of the good things that happened throughout the last 12 months! 🥳
