Make decisions you can stand behind. Good Decision is a weighted decision matrix for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Compare your options against the criteria that matter to you — scored, weighted, and totalled so the best choice rises to the top. No gut feeling required. Just clarity. HOW IT WORKS Add your options and criteria, set a weight for each criterion, then score each option from 1 to 10. Good Decision multiplies scores by weights and surfaces the option that best fits your priorities — not anyone else's. AI-POWERED CREATION On supported devices, Apple Intelligence builds your matrix for you — privately, on-device: Paste a link — AI reads the page and extracts options, criteria, and specs Paste text — drop in an article or comparison, AI structures it into a matrix Describe it — type what you're deciding, and AI suggests criteria and options For current products, pasting a link gives you accurate, up-to-date specs. Prompts work best when structure matters more than live data. Your data never leaves your device. BUILT FOR APPLE iPhone, iPad, and Mac — one purchase, all devices Decisions sync automatically via iCloud Share as an image, text, or spreadsheet Full Dark Mode support Any choice with more than one option is worth a matrix. Picking an iPhone or MacBook. Weighing up job offers. Choosing where to move, what to buy, and where to eat. Requires iOS 26 / macOS 26 or later.

Make rational decisions based on the criteria relevant to you. Define the available Options and the Criteria on which the Decision should be based and let Smart Decision do the math and determine your best choice. Options are the items/alternatives you want to compare, ultimately deciding which is the preferred one. Criteria are the standards on which the Decision should be based. Smart Decision supports six different Criterion types: - Requirement: for essential characteristics a viable option should have - Binary: Yes or No, e.g. WiFi connectivity - Ranking: option order from hightest to lowest - Rating: rate each option with zero to five stars - Value [prefer lower]: e.g. price or power consumption - Value [prefer higher]: e.g. storage capacity or processor speed Each Criterion can be given a weight (from one to five, according to its importance) to be applied in the result calculation. The result is a ranking of all Options sorted by the percentage of the maximum possible score achieved by each Option. It is updated automatically as you evaluate each Criterion for each Option, so you get immediate feedback about the impact of every change. Smart Decision supports iCloud Sync, so your Decisions are kept up to date on all your iOS devices. Smart Decision is totally free, In-App-Purchases allow you to tip the developer and have no impact on the app's functionality.
