Iris remembers what matters to your household and gets things done. It lives on your own Mac, not on Meta's, OpenAI's or Google's computers, and you can chat to it from your iPhone with Plus once your Mac is set up for it.
Free while in testing · Apple silicon Mac, macOS 26.2 or later, 16 GB memory
Anything I need to do for the kids this week?
Sam's play is Thursday at 5. It clashes with swimming. Want me to ask Alex to do pickup?
How setup works
No terminal, no AI keys. Iris checks your Mac, sets itself up, and can bring across what you've already told it. You just say hello.
Move Iris into Applications and open it. It checks your Mac can run it well.
Iris downloads its own AI, about 4 GB, and prepares it for you. No terminal, no AI accounts or keys. Put the kettle on.
Start fresh, or sign in to bring across what an earlier Iris account already knows about you. Then check it and start talking.
Watch it work
Pick a life and watch Iris handle it. Iris's own AI handles everyday life on your Mac. For really big jobs it can ask a bigger cloud AI, only when you say yes.
Example with made-up details. Iris asks before anything is sent, booked or bought.
A day with Iris
Iris isn't a chat window you visit. It works through the day with you, on your Mac and from your phone, and checks with you before anything important goes out.
Coming soon · Morning brief
Calendar, school runs, bills and the things you said you'd do, pulled together on your own Mac. Being built now.
Morning, Jo.
18° and sunny until 3pm. Three things today.
8:30am · In the car
Talk naturally and interrupt whenever you like. Iris does the work, then asks before anything is sent.
Push my ten o'clock back and tell the team I'm running late.
Moved to 10:45. I've drafted a note to the team. Send it?
6:00pm · At home
Shared lists and a family calendar where it helps. Private memories stay private, even from each other.

Private to each person

No. Iris runs on recent Macs with Apple silicon, macOS 26.2 or later and at least 16 GB of memory. A Mac that stays on, like a Mac mini, means Iris is always there. On a laptop, Iris simply pauses while it's asleep.
Everyday conversations, memory and voice run on your Mac. If a job needs a more powerful cloud AI, Iris asks first and shows you what will be sent. Services you connect, like Google Calendar, are still run by their own companies. Read how your information is handled.
It's different. For everyday life, Iris's own AI on your Mac is more than capable. It's smaller than the giant cloud AIs, so for really big jobs Iris can ask a more powerful cloud AI, only when you say yes.
