✓ No Jira writes ✓ Deterministic by default ✓ Optional AI refinement ✓ Up to 200 deterministic / 100 AI issues

A focused drafting step

Less formatting. More useful review.

Start with the right scope

Use a project, the completed-issues JQL starter, your own JQL, or a version when you need a release-specific view.

Get clean Markdown

Generate a structured, customer-facing, summary-based draft grouped by issue type or label, then review and edit it before sharing.

Use AI only when it helps

Optionally refine the tone after a deterministic draft exists. AI is explicit, bounded, and never required.

Scrubbed sample

A useful first draft, ready for review.

This example uses fictional data—not a real Jira export. The Markdown is editable before you share it.

Fits your workflow

A drafting utility, not another system to manage.

JQL is the main path when you want control over exactly which issues appear. Choose Version when it provides the clearest release boundary.

Jira Release Notes Lite does not publish release notes, keep a hosted changelog, schedule releases, or write back to Jira. It gives you a useful draft for the tools you already trust.

Frequently asked questions

What does Jira Release Notes Lite do?

It turns issues in a Jira Cloud project, a JQL result, or a selected version into an editable Markdown release-notes draft.

Does it change Jira?

No. The app reads Jira as the signed-in user and does not create, update, or delete Jira data.

Do I need AI?

No. Deterministic generation is the default and supports up to 200 issues. Optional AI refinement supports up to 100.

What does it not do?

It does not publish release notes, manage releases, keep a hosted changelog, or provide Confluence and other publishing integrations.
