Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm John, the founder of Phineas. I built this after watching managers — including myself — get blindsided. Either we'd miss a pattern of behavior until it was way too late, or we'd walk into a serious conversation armed with nothing but vague memories and gut feelings. There was no good tool for the middle part — the daily work of observing, documenting, and making sense of what's actually happening on your team. Phineas fills that gap. You log what you observe, the system helps you detect patterns over time, and when it matters, you have a structured, fact-based record to work from — not a hazy recollection. And it works both ways. Not every pattern points to a problem — some point to a gap. Phineas helps you identify where someone needs coaching or training, so your development conversations are just as grounded in real observations as the hard ones. It's built for managers who want to lead with confidence — whether that means addressing a conduct issue or building a better training plan.
