Managers Playbook runs the operational machine of management so you can focus on your people. Track your team, prep and log 1:1s (GROW), capture SBI/STAR feedback, run a weekly/monthly cadence, and rank work with RICE and Eisenhower - all free. Pro (one-time, no subscription) adds an AI assistant that drafts replies, turns a 1:1 into action items and feedback, and writes status reports - on Apple Intelligence on-device or a small model you download. Nothing leaves your phone unless you choose.
Privacy-first design is a great call. One thing that would really help is a simple team hand-off mode so a manager stepping in for someone else can get context fast, like a quick view of the last 1:1 notes, open feedback items, and pending RICE priorities.
The on-device AI angle is genuinely refreshing, especially for sensitive 1:1 notes. One thing I'd love: a lightweight integration with calendar and reminders so prep prompts show up automatically before each 1:1 without me having to open the app first. Would make the cadence stick on busy weeks.
the GROW template for 1:1s is genuinely useful and not bloated, and the on-device AI angle is a smart move for people wary of sharing team feedback with random servers
