Apps
Use apps to extend YouTrack’s functionality

Where to get apps

Several other apps can already be downloaded for free from JetBrains Marketplace.

Multi-Sprint Planner for software developers by twenty20
This app helps software development teams working on scrum boards manage sprints and backlogs more easily. It adds a new section to YouTrack's main menu where multiple sprints can be viewed at once – one sprint per lane. With such a view, it's easier to structure the project into multiple sprints and better organize the development process.
Please feel free to check the app – it’s available in the JetBrains Marketplace for free.
Extension for YouTrack for legal teams by AgiLawyer
For the needs of legal teams, YouTrack consulting partner AgiLawyer recommends integrating YouTrack with LegiSpace, a platform that centralizes information and seamlessly connects with multiple other tools. This powerful combination simplifies daily operations by streamlining legal management processes, such as client case management, reporting of billable hours, invoicing, and many more, all enhanced by the LegiSpace app within YouTrack. The Legispace app connects the YouTrack task to the customer profile and the cases and documents in the Legispace app.
If you're interested in expanding YouTrack's capabilities for your legal needs, reach out to the AgiLawyer team for a demo to see how customization can benefit you.
Everyone has the opportunity to publish apps they’ve created to JetBrains Marketplace, and we hope that the collection of apps will continue to grow. For now, all the apps in JetBrains Marketplace are available for free. We’re working on adding an option to publish paid apps so you can profit from your custom solutions.
Create your own apps
You can create an app to address your team’s needs, for example, to integrate YouTrack with an internal company system. You can also get in touch with one of our consulting partners to have them create an app for you. These apps can be downloaded directly to your YouTrack.
Text-to-Issue Transformation
This new AI-powered feature allows you to easily create new tasks from pieces of text. An AI action lets you scan selected text for possible action items. You can then select the items you want to transform into issues and create them all at once. Additional options let you use the selected text to create new issues.
Generic VCS integrations
YouTrack now lets you set up integrations with version control systems that aren’t included in our predefined list of supported services. This allows you to manually attach commits to issues in YouTrack or add links programmatically using webhooks.
Other enhancements
Several pages in the application have been tidied up and polished, including dashboards, the project list, and the workflow administration page.
