Free tool

Write a performance review in 60 seconds.

Paste your meeting notes from the last six months. Get a structured, professional review draft. Edit, copy, ship.

Free tool. Runs in about 20 seconds.

1

Paste your notes

Anything you have. 1:1 notes, project status from Slack, feedback you sent, situations you observed. Rough bullets are fine. The more context, the better the review.

2

Generate the draft

The tool reads your notes and produces four sections: strengths, areas for development, goals for next period, and an overall assessment. About 20 seconds.

3

Edit and ship

Copy the markdown into your performance review template, or download it directly. Your manager (and HR) will not know it took a minute.

Why performance reviews take so long

Most managers do not dread performance reviews because they do not know what to say. They dread reviews because the source material lives in twelve different places: 1:1 notes in a notebook, project updates in Slack, feedback they gave in an email three months ago, a story their report told them in a hallway. Pulling it all together into a coherent narrative is the work, and the work is what no one tells you about when you become a manager.

What makes a performance review actually useful

A real review names specific things the person did, not generic adjectives. It separates strengths from development areas honestly. It points forward with goals, not just backward with assessment. This generator follows that structure. The model is instructed to use specific examples from your notes and to be honest in the development section rather than diplomatic.

ManagerForge does this automatically

This is the free tool. The full product, ManagerForge, captures your 1:1s as they happen, surfaces themes and patterns across the whole period, and writes the review without you having to paste anything in. Free during beta through July 5, with founding member pricing at $19 a month for life for the first 25 customers.
