Graphviz Graphs & Vega-Lite Charts in Tabs for Jira — draw Graphviz graphs and Vega-Lite charts from text in tabs on Jira issues — dependency maps, state machines, bar and line charts.
Graphs laid out from DOT text
Write nodes and edges in Graphviz DOT and get a laid-out graph: service dependencies, call graphs, state machines, org charts. Every Graphviz layout engine is available.
Charts and timing diagrams from text
Describe a bar, line or pie chart in Vega-Lite with the values inside the spec, or a timing diagram in WaveDrom — it renders in the tab, next to the graphs it explains.
Reuse and mix
Clone all tabs to another issue or project page. Any tab can also be Mermaid, BPMN or LaTeX math.
Also included
- Tabs on every issue and project page — title, optional description, one diagram each; rename, reorder by drag and drop, delete.
- Six diagram types — BPMN 2.0 modeler, Graphviz, LaTeX Math, Mermaid, Vega-Lite charts and WaveDrom timing diagrams, with ready-made examples and clear syntax errors.

Frequently asked questions
Which Jira permissions does the app ask for, and why?
Two. Read Jira work, to know the issue or project the tabs belong to and to check you may edit it before a change is stored; and app storage, for the tabs and their diagrams. It has no permission to change issues.
Where are the tabs stored?
In the app's Forge storage inside your Atlassian site, up to 4 MB per issue or project page. Every renderer ships inside the app, it makes no outside connections, and Simplify has no server.
How much does it cost?
It is free for sites with up to 10 users. Larger sites pay per user through the Atlassian Marketplace, after a free 30-day trial.
Can each tab hold a different kind of diagram?
Yes. Every tab chooses its own type — BPMN, Graphviz, LaTeX Math, Mermaid, Vega-Lite or WaveDrom — in every Tabs app; the app only decides the type a new tab starts with.
Are issue tabs and project tabs the same?
No. Every issue has its own tabs and every project page has its own; Clone tabs copies a set from one to another.
When are my changes saved?
Only when you press Save. One Save stores all tabs, titles, order, descriptions and diagrams of the issue or project page; if someone saved in the meantime you choose Reload or Overwrite.
Who can change the tabs?
Whoever may edit the issue in Jira. A project page's tabs can be changed by everyone who may edit issues in that project. Everyone who can browse the project sees them.
Does the app send diagrams anywhere?
No. Tabs are stored in the app's Forge storage inside your Atlassian site and rendered in your browser; a Vega-Lite chart never loads data from a URL.
