Increase your chances of success with this decision matrix app! This app uses a weighted-average formula which calculates results based on your factors and their importance. FAQ: What can I use this app for? - Evaluating job offers - Choosing your next car or house - Deciding on a holiday destination - Business decisions Can I delete unwanted decisions, factors and options? Yes, just swipe from right to left in order to reveal the delete button. What's the difference between weighted and binary factors? Both factors must be given a score of 1-10 for their importance (10 being very important). When adding an option, weighted factors are scored from 0-10 and binary factors are scored as true or false. Both weighted and binary factors contribute to the final score for each option. How does it work? This app uses a decision matrix in order to rank options against weighted factors. This provides an overall score for each option and helps with comparison. Example: You add a factor named 'pay' and set its importance to 8 (high). Company A pays averagely so you score it 5. This gives it a weighted score of 40 (5 x 8). Company B pays well so you score it 9. This gives a weighed score of 72 (9 x 8). This option is the winner. This is a powerful tool when analysing multiple factors and options at once.

An application that helps you make accurate decisions based on reason and logic, so you will never regret your choice. CORE FEATURES PROS & CONS This is a binary decision tool where you add positive and negative arguments. Each entry has a customizable weight, and the app calculates a net score to determine a "Yes" (Blue), "No" (Red), or "Undecided" (Amber) verdict. Key features: - Unlimited dilemmas, intuitive visuals - Add pros and cons and adjust their weight (importance) - Dark mode and light mode for you to choose - Your concerns will become transparent and clear COMPARE OPTIONS (DECISION MATRIX) This feature is designed for choosing the best option among multiple alternatives (e.g., iPhone vs. Samsung vs. Oppo vs. Xiaomi). You can define columns (Options) and rows (Criteria like Price, Battery). You rate each cell on a scale (1-10), and the app calculates a weighted sum to highlight the winning option. SWOT ANALYSIS This is a strategic planning tool for bigger picture thinking. It utilizes a 2x2 grid where you categorize factors into Strengths (Internal/Positive), Weaknesses (Internal/Negative), Opportunities (External/Positive), and Threats (External/Negative) to visualize the viability of a project or career move. 10-10-10 RULE This is a temporal framework to combat short-term emotion. It asks you to predict how you will feel about a decision in three specific timeframes: 10 Minutes, 10 Months, and 10 Years. This feature is text-based and reflective, helping you gain long-term perspective. The 10-10-10 rule can help you avoid FOMO (fear of missing out) and impulsive decisions, and minimize long-term regret. DECISION TREE For a choice with several paths, not just two. Lay each option out as its own branch, hang the reasons for and against it underneath, and weight them. The app scores every branch and shows which one is ahead, so a tangled decision becomes something you can actually see. OTHER FEATURES - The app supports both light mode and dark mode. Pick the one that fits your eyes. - The app can work totally offline. No internet connection is required. - You can export your data into a JSON file for backup (e.g, when you change your phone) or import/ restore your old data. - The app supports local authentication. You can use Face ID to lock the app to keep your decisions private.
