## What is ToughCall?

ToughCall is your private AI companion for thinking through life's toughest decisions — entirely on your device.

Struggling with a career change? Weighing whether to move cities? Unsure about a major purchase? ToughCall uses Socratic dialogue to help you think clearly, then breaks your decision into structured criteria, options, and potential biases.

HOW IT WORKS
• Describe your decision in a few words
• The AI asks targeted questions to help you explore trade-offs, risks, and priorities
• When ready, ToughCall decomposes your decision into weighted criteria and alternatives
• Score your options and see a clear recommendation based on your own values

KEY FEATURES
• Socratic Dialogue — AI asks the right questions so you think deeper, not harder
• Decision Decomposition — automatically extracts criteria, options, and cognitive biases from your conversation
• Factor Matrix — weighted scoring to compare alternatives objectively
• Outcome Tracking — revisit past decisions and review how they turned out

100% PRIVATE
• All AI processing happens on your iPhone — no cloud, no servers, ever
• AES-256-GCM encryption for all stored data
• Face ID / Touch ID lock
• Works completely offline after initial model download
• No accounts, no tracking, no analytics

ToughCall downloads a compact AI model (~2 GB) on first launch. After that, everything runs locally on your device.
