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.
