Hiri is a business focused desktop e-mail client for sending and receiving e-mails, managing calendars, contacts, and tasks. It was developed as an alternative to existing e-mail clients and calendar applications such as Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird. Development on Hiri started in late 2012 in Dublin, Ireland[1].

Hiri uses the cross-platform Qt[2] framework to run on (Windows[3], macOS[4][5] and Linux[6][7][8]). Hiri does not support IMAP and only uses Microsoft Exchange Server infrastructure.

Hiri has been funded by Telefonica[9][10][11], Delta Partners, ACT Venture Capital, Enterprise Ireland and Angel investors Facebook and Linkedin[12][13][14].

In March 2017, Hiri began charging a subscription service ($5 monthly; $39 yearly).
