You already know the answer. You just haven't trusted it yet. Gut Check is a 60-second decision tool that cuts through overthinking with 7 fast, instinctive questions. No long reflections. No journaling prompts. Just your gut: guided. HOW IT WORKS Type the decision you're wrestling with: "Should I quit my job?", "Should I end this relationship?", "Should I move cities?" then tap Start. In 60 seconds, Gut Check surfaces 7 targeted questions. Answer as fast as you can. Your first instinct is the data. When time's up, the AI synthesizes your response pattern. Not just what you answered, but how fast you answered, and delivers one clear recommendation. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - Most decision tools ask you to think more. Gut Check asks you to think less. - Speed is the point. - When you answer in under 2 seconds, you're not deliberating, you're revealing what you already believe. Gut Check weights those fast responses more heavily because they're the most honest signal. YOUR DECISION JOURNAL Every session is saved to your Journal. Come back later and mark whether the recommendation was accurate. Over time, Gut Check learns how well your gut is calibrated, and you do too. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your dilemmas stay on your account. We don't sell your data or use your decisions to train models. Terms of Use: https://gutcheckdecision.app/terms
