Stuck on what to eat? Where to go? What to watch tonight? The Tiny Council is here. Three good dogs help you decide. Type your options. Ask the pack. Lumie delivers the verdict. How it works 1. Add what you're choosing between (Pizza? Sushi? Burgers?) 2. Tap "Let them decide" 3. The dogs confer. 4. Done. You can blame the dog now. What's inside · Pixel-art dog mascots with distinct personalities · Fully offline, works without internet · No ads. No tracking. No accounts. No nonsense. Why The Tiny Council? Because making decisions is exhausting, and a friend (or three) helping is always better than a coin flip. Whether it's "what's for dinner" or "should I text them back," the tiny council has your back. Perfect for: · Indecisive friends planning meals · Couples picking restaurants · Solo evenings with too many TV shows to choose from · Anyone who finds joy in small, charming apps A note from the developer This app was made with care. Gusto, Lumie, and Clay are original characters inspired by real good dogs. Updates are planned: new themes, more dogs, and seasonal packs. Three good dogs. One good answer. Forever yours, offline, ad-free. — Lumie has spoken.
