Atlassian just made it official: Forge is the future of Jira Cloud apps. On May 26, Atlassian launched the “Runs on Atlassian” badge to highlight apps built entirely on its secure infrastructure. These apps don’t send data outside of Atlassian’s cloud and follow strict security standards.
This update matters for any team planning a Cloud migration, for industries where security and compliance are non-negotiable, or for teams looking for a checklist tool that puts security first.
Smart Checklist by TitanApps is the #1 checklist solution that runs on Atlassian Forge. It means that whether you're switching from another app, moving off Data Center, or starting fresh on Jira Cloud, Smart Checklist is ready to support you.
Forge is Atlassian’s secure app development platform for the Cloud. Apps built on Forge without data egress run directly inside Atlassian’s infrastructure, removing the need for external servers or third-party data handling. This architecture simplifies security reviews, ensures data stays within regional boundaries.
Smart Checklist is already built on Forge and fully aligned with Atlassian’s vision. The new “Runs on Atlassian” badge confirms that your checklist data stays where it should, inside Atlassian Cloud.
Teams using Smart Checklist can now:
Smart Checklist is not only compatible, but it’s built for what comes next in the Atlassian ecosystem.

Atlassian introduced the “Runs on Atlassian” badge to help customers quickly identify Forge apps that meet the highest data protection standards.
This badge is only given to apps that:
There is no application process. Atlassian applies the badge programmatically based on the app’s technical architecture. This ensures that only apps meeting strict criteria receive the label.
For customers, the badge removes friction from the buying process. Security reviews become easier. Procurement teams gain confidence. Compliance requirements become easier to meet.
This is especially relevant for companies in regulated industries like:
Smart Checklist meets all the badge requirements. As a Forge-native app, it runs entirely inside Atlassian Cloud and automatically supports data residency. This makes it a secure, compliant choice for teams that can’t afford to compromise.
Smart Checklist is already used by teams that need structure, automation, and consistency in repeatable processes in their Jira workflows. Moving to Forge makes it even stronger.
The app now runs entirely inside Atlassian Cloud. There are no external servers involved. This gives your team peace of mind and removes blockers during procurement or audits.
What this upgrade brings:
Smart Checklist supports real work. Teams use it to manage Definition of Done, Risk management, Compliance and approval processes, Procurement, JSM support cases , Financial reporting and Hiring and Onboarding. Now that it’s built on Forge, these processes are more secure and scalable.
