Give Connect App a New Life on Forge Before Connect Sunset (No Coding Needed)

[#1]

If your team relies on Jira apps from the Marketplace, here’s a warning: Atlassian is ending support for Connect by the end of 2026.

Many popular Marketplace apps are still on Connect, and if their vendors don’t migrate them to Forge, they may stop working. That could disrupt critical workflows, dashboards, or integrations your team depends on daily.

This isn’t just a future concern - it’s a ticking clock for anyone who depends on apps that aren’t Forge-ready yet.

The Problem with Connect Apps on the Marketplace

• End-of-support risk: Connect apps that don’t migrate will lose compatibility with Jira Cloud.

• Uncertainty for your workflows: Features your team relies on may stop working overnight.

• No direct replacement: You can’t just “install Forge version” if the vendor hasn’t updated it.

For teams relying on these apps, the options are frustrating: wait for the vendor (which may never happen), scramble to find alternatives, or manually recreate workflows.

 Recreate Apps Yourself on Forge - no coding required

What if you didn’t have to depend on vendors at all?
Forge Apps Generator allows you to recreate the functionality of any app - directly on Forge.

Even if the app already exists on Forge, you can use Forge Apps Generator to build your own version - tailored exactly to your team’s needs. Customize dashboards, trackers, and tools exactly how your processes work, without waiting for the vendor’s roadmap.

Whether it’s a dashboard gadget, progress tracker, workflow automation, or integration, you just describe what the app does, and Forge Apps Generator builds it for you.

• No coding or scripting required

• Fully compatible with Forge and Jira Cloud

• Ready for deployment instantly

How It Works

1. Describe your app: “I need a dashboard that shows story points by epic across projects,” or “I want a team capacity planner that updates in real-time.”

2. Forge Apps Generator builds it: Your description turns into a fully functional Forge app or dashboard gadget.

3. Deploy immediately: The app is ready for your team to use—no developer, no complex setup, no risk of future Marketplace app discontinuation.

 Bring Any Marketplace App Back to Life—or Make Your Own Version

• Custom Progress Trackers: Recreate specialized trackers from Connect apps that aren’t moving to Forge—or make your own with additional KPIs.

• Team Dashboards: Build dashboards that consolidate the views your team relies on daily—or redesign them to suit your workflow.

• Resource Planning Tools: Rebuild capacity planning or workload management apps before they become obsolete—or create your own with extra flexibility.

• Cross-Project Monitors: Track issues, KPIs, and metrics exactly the way your team needs—even if the original app disappears, or even if it exists on Forge but doesn’t fully fit your process.

Why Forge Apps Generator Is Your Insurance Policy

The end of Connect doesn’t have to mean lost functionality or broken workflows. Instead of waiting for vendors to migrate—or leaving your team stranded—you can take control of your tools.

Forge Apps Generator ensures:

• Continuity: All critical Marketplace functionality recreated on Forge

• Customization: Build apps tailored to your team, not limited by generic app settings

• Future-proofing: No worries about end-of-support or abandoned Connect apps

• Full control: Even existing Forge apps can be reimagined as your own custom version

The clock is ticking for Connect apps. Don’t let your workflows be interrupted by end-of-support deadlines. With Forge Apps Generator, you can rebuild any Marketplace app you depend on, improve it, or even create your own custom version, without writing a single line of code.

Your team’s Jira experience stays seamless, while you gain full control over your tools.
