Remember what you worked on before the details disappear. Iris is a private, local-first work journal that makes it easy to capture small work updates, keep track of your progress, and build a useful record of what you’ve accomplished over time. Record a quick voice note or type an update, and Iris can organize it into clearer highlights, impact, blockers, people, and next steps. As your notes build up, turn your work history into weekly updates, monthly summaries, achievement records, or performance review drafts. With Iris, you can: - Capture quick work notes whenever something worth remembering happens - Record short voice notes and turn them into editable transcripts - Tag notes by project to keep different areas of your work organized - Organize messy notes into highlights, impact, blockers, people, and next steps - See your recent work, activity, and follow-ups from Home - Generate weekly recaps and manager updates - Create monthly summaries and achievement records - Turn your work history into yearly summaries and performance review drafts - Set reminders to build a consistent logging habit Built for the way work actually happens You don’t need to maintain a detailed journal every day. Capture a quick update when something moves forward, you solve a problem, receive useful feedback, unblock someone, or finish something you may want to remember later. Over time, Iris gives you a clearer record of your work — without turning work tracking into another heavy productivity system.

AI features are optional and only run when you choose to use them, including voice transcription, note organization, and summary generation.
