Iris
Iris is a Mac desktop assistant from Interface Club that works across your apps instead of living inside one window. You tell it what you need in plain language, and it coordinates work between calendars, contacts, and whatever else is on your screen.
The product started as an LLM client and is expanding into connected productivity tools. Calendar is live in the current beta, with email, tasks, and notes listed as upcoming. Iris learns your habits over time, like typical meeting length, lunch spots, and buffer between calls, so it can fill in details you do not spell out.
Summon it with a double-tap of the Option key and it appears as a slim column along your screen edge. It floats above other windows, reads context from the app you point it at, and stays out of the way while you work. The team describes the goal as software that makes decisions the way you would.
