HR & team tracker
Log 1:1 and review notes, goals and next-review dates per staff member, so nothing said in a review gets forgotten by the next one - with an auto-suggested next review date so nobody quietly falls off the schedule.
Every 1:1, quarterly review, annual review, probation review or ad-hoc chat is logged against the employee it was with - notes, talking points and a next review date, all in one place instead of scattered emails and paper notebooks.
Set a review cadence once in Settings - 90 days by default - and the next-review-date field fills itself in whenever you log a new review, so a consistent rhythm happens by default rather than by memory.
Add a goal in the same step as logging a review, linked to that employee and that conversation, or add one independently. Track each through Not started, In progress, Done or Dropped.
Every active employee's next review date is ranked soonest-or-most-overdue first, so a manager can see at a glance who's due a conversation and who's already slipped past it.
Every review logged and every goal added or completed shows up in one chronological feed on the Dashboard, so it's easy to see what's happened across the whole team recently.
Export employees, reviews or goals to CSV for a spreadsheet, payroll system or a wider HR process - the data is never locked in.
This is a notes-and-dates tool, not a ratings, calibration or compensation system - it keeps a clear record of what was discussed and when the next conversation is due, nothing more.
Light/dark theme remembers your choice, matching the rest of the Metre2 portfolio.

Yes - when logging a review you can add a goal in the same step, linked to that employee and that review. Goals can also be added independently and tracked through Not started, In progress, Done or Dropped.
No. This is deliberately a notes-and-dates tool, not a ratings, calibration or compensation system - it keeps a record of what was discussed, what was agreed, and when the next conversation is due.
The Dashboard's "Reviews due soon" list flags any employee whose next review date has passed as overdue, and anyone due within 14 days as due soon, so nothing quietly slips.
