About

Decision Echo

Features
Read full description

Decision Echo is a personal decision review tool designed around one simple idea: a choice becomes more useful when you revisit it. When you make an important decision, record what you expect to happen, how confident you feel, and the context behind your choice. After 3 days, come back to review the actual outcome and compare your expectation with reality. Over time, Decision Echo helps you build a clearer feedback loop. Review your decision timeline, notice confidence patterns, compare outcomes across categories, and learn where your judgment tends to be reliable or biased. Key features: - Record decisions, expectations, and confidence scores - Review outcomes after 3 days - Compare expectation vs. reality - View a timeline of past decisions - Discover patterns in confidence, categories, and outcomes - Export your data as JSON or CSV - Local-first design with no account or cloud sync Decision Echo is not a task manager or a generic journal. It is built for decision reflection: capturing your reasoning before the outcome is known, then helping you learn from what actually happened. All app features are available for free. Your decision records stay on your device and are not uploaded, synced, or sold.
