Stint vs Tempo

Stint and Tempo both track time in Jira, but they differ in where your time data actually lives.

Data ownership

Tempo stores time data in its own proprietary database, separate from Jira's native worklogs. If you cancel Tempo, your time history stays in Tempo's system and does not transfer to Jira automatically. Stint writes every worklog to Jira's native worklog API - your data is in Jira regardless of which tool you use, so there's nothing to migrate if you ever stop using Stint.

Switching from Tempo

Already have time history in Tempo? See "Can I import my Tempo history into Stint?" in the Stint FAQ for how the import wizard moves your history over without a gap in coverage.
