Say “Iris” and just ask. She opens apps, sets reminders, tidies your tabs and drafts your messages — and she’s a little character on your screen who reacts, remembers your day and keeps you company while you work.
No app to open, no box to type in. Say her name, say what you need, and Iris does it on your desktop — then tells you, in a voice that actually sounds human.
Most assistants are a text box that waits. Iris is a character who is actually there — she listens, reacts, notices what you’re doing, and gets real things done on your desktop.
Hand-drawn expressions with eyebrows that really move, lips synced to her actual voice, and eyes that follow what’s happening. She perks up when you talk, tilts her head while she thinks, yawns when it’s late — and yes, she’ll dance if you ask.
Say “Iris” from across the room. Follow-ups don’t need her name, and a simple “stop” cuts her off mid-sentence.
She remembers what you’ve been working on and for how long, so when she pipes up, it’s for a reason.
Not “here’s how you could do that.” Iris operates your desktop directly — apps, tabs, timers that really ring, and on a Mac, reminders that sync to your iPhone. Ask her what an error on screen means and she’ll look.
Drag her anywhere and resize her to suit your screen. Say “hide” and she tucks into the corner; ⌘ ⇧ I brings her back.
An assistant that can act on your desktop has to earn trust. Iris is built to ask first where it matters.
The same Iris, as a chat on your phone. Text her, send a voice note, a photo or a document — she answers, makes the file you need, and can reach your Mac while you’re away from it. On an iPad, she comes to life: leave her on the table and just talk.
Android 8 or later · about 3 MB. Early access: sign in with your Iris account to get the app — the same account works in it.
Open the downloaded file. Android asks once to allow installs from your browser — tap Settings, allow it, then go back and tap Install. Updates will come through the Play Store once Iris is listed there.
The app is built and in testing — the chat on iPhone, and live mode on iPad. The public beta opens here shortly, through Apple’s TestFlight. Your Iris account works on it as-is — nothing to sign up for twice.
Download on the App StoreiPhone and iPad, iOS 17 or later. Sign in and we add your email to the beta — Apple then emails you an invite. Open it on your iPhone or iPad and install with Apple’s free TestFlight app.
iPhone and iPad, iOS 17 or later. Install Apple’s free TestFlight app, tap the button, and sign in with your email — no password.
On an iPad, Iris isn’t a chat window — she lives on the screen. Prop it up on the kitchen counter or the study desk and talk to her from across the room. She glows while she listens, a little cloud appears while she thinks, and she answers out loud in her own voice.
Iris can hear you and see your screen, so you deserve a straight answer about what that means. Here it is, without the fine print.
A sound gate on your machine only streams audio when someone is actually speaking. That speech is transcribed to hear her name and your request — Iris doesn’t save recordings.
Day to day she only knows which app is in front and your tab’s title — no pixels, and never the URLs. She takes a screenshot only when you ask her to look at something.
The app holds nothing but your own sign-in. Every AI request goes through the Iris service, tied to your account and capped per day, so nobody can run up usage in your name.
Every account is walled off from every other. Your usage, your logs, your history — and the chats and files from the phone app — can’t be read by another user. Delete a message or file and it’s gone.
Use your early-access code below. It takes about fifteen seconds.
Open the file and drag Iris into Applications. It’s notarized, so it opens like any other app.
Sign in, allow the microphone and screen access she asks for, and say hello.
Iris is in early access. Accounts are free and get the full app — every feature, every update.
Open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. If it lists an Apple M-series chip, take Apple Silicon. If it says Intel, take the Intel build. Download links are personal and expire after a few minutes — if one stops working, just click again.
Straight answers to the things people ask most before they try Iris.
Iris is a voice assistant for your desktop with a body and a personality. She lives on your screen as a small animated character, listens for her name, and does things for you — opening apps, managing tabs, setting reminders and timers, drafting messages, reading what’s on your screen — while reacting and chatting like a companion rather than a tool.
Yes. During early access every account is free, with a daily usage allowance that resets each day. Once you sign in on this page you can see exactly how much of today’s allowance you’ve used.
Early access is invite-only so we can keep Iris fast and reliable as more people join. If someone shared Iris with you, they can give you a code.
Any Mac on macOS 13 Ventura or later, with either Apple Silicon or an Intel processor. There’s a separate download for each. To check yours, open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac.
Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) are supported by the app, but the Windows build isn’t published yet. The same account will work on it when it is — nothing to sign up for twice.
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Download Iris-Setup.exe and run it. Windows may show a “Windows protected your PC” screen — choose More info → Run anyway; it appears because the installer is new, not because anything is wrong. Iris asks for the microphone on first launch and needs nothing else: the Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions a Mac requires have no equivalent on Windows.
A few things are Mac-only for now and Iris will say so rather than pretend: switching or closing browser tabs, driving an already-open terminal, Reminders, and WhatsApp. Everything else — voice, her character, screen awareness, apps, volume, clipboard, music, timers — works on both.
On a Mac: Microphone lets her hear you, Screen Recording lets her look at your screen when you ask her to, and Accessibility lets her operate apps on your behalf. macOS makes you switch the last two on in System Settings yourself, and Iris needs a relaunch before it can use them.
On Windows: only the microphone, and Windows asks for it the first time she listens. There is no Screen Recording or Accessibility switch to find.
When you speak, that speech is transcribed by the Iris service. Silence isn’t sent. Your request and the context she needs to answer go to the AI that writes her reply, and her reply is turned into speech. Recordings aren’t saved.
During early access the app also sends diagnostic logs, including the text of what you ask, kept for 14 days. See Privacy for the full picture.
Say “stop” to interrupt anything she’s saying or doing. Say “hide” and she tucks into a corner; say “come back” or press ⌘ ⇧ I to bring her back. You can also drag her anywhere and resize her.
On your Mac, her voice is tuned for English today. In the phone app she chats in your language — Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil and more — by text or voice note.
Android: yes — download it here, for Android 8 or later. It’s a chat with Iris: text or voice notes, photos and documents, real Word/Excel/PowerPoint/PDF files back, web answers, and your Mac from wherever you are. Sign in with your email; it’s the same account as the Mac app.
iPhone & iPad: built and in testing; the public beta opens here shortly through Apple’s TestFlight. On iPhone it’s the same chat. On iPad, Iris lives on the screen in live mode — say “Iris” and talk, and she answers out loud, no buttons.
Windows: the app runs on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) — the port is written and tested — but the build isn’t published yet, so there’s nothing to download today. The same account will work on it the moment there is; you don’t sign up twice. This page starts offering it by itself as soon as the build ships.
Iris checks for new versions on her own and installs them for you. There’s nothing to re-download.
Quit Iris from the menu bar and drag it from Applications to the Trash. That’s all.
