Lient
Active DevelopmentA fast, native personal Jira daily-driver—for getting through your assigned work (see, transition, comment, create) without the slow web UI. Deliberately not a Jira admin tool; just the pleasant all-day client. Built in Rust + Slint.
Overview
The Jira web UI is slow, heavy, and built to do everything—including a mountain of administration you never touch day to day. Lient does the opposite: it does the handful of things you actually do all day (see your work, transition issues, comment, create) and does them fast, natively, with no configuration bloat. Administration is left to the web. The name is a misspelling of client—a tiny typo-named tool, like its sibling Noet.
Features
- Native and fast - A Slint desktop app sharing the same Rust stack as Noet; no browser, no spinner
- Your work, front and center - A "My Work" list, issue detail, comments, and status transitions
- Every common login method - Cloud API tokens, Server/DC personal access tokens, username/password, and OAuth
- Scriptable core - A GUI-free
lient-corecrate drives both the desktop app and alient-cli, so the same engine is usable from scripts - Demo mode - Runs against in-memory fixtures, so you can try the whole thing with zero Jira setup
- Local-only credentials - Tokens live in your OS config directory, never committed
Philosophy
Most enterprise tools assume you want to configure them. The daily reality is that you want to log in, see your work, and move it forward without friction. Lient is a deliberately narrow tool: read plus light-write, all the ways to log in, none of the admin weight.
