TinyPick helps you make thoughtful decisions. Why did I create it? Everyday life is full of choices: where to travel, which school to choose for a child, whether to buy a home or car, change jobs, or move back home. I often overthink these decisions and overlook what matters most. So I built TinyPick to help. TinyPick helps you organize your thoughts and keep track of each step, from weighing your options to making a choice, taking action, and reviewing the outcome. Two ways to decide Pros and Cons: List and score the reasons for and against each option. Weighted Matrix: Set criteria and weights, then score and compare your options. Understand your options See the results and suggestions, along with each option’s strengths and drawbacks. Make your final choice Record your decision, your reasons, how confident you feel, and what you expect to happen. Execute and review Record when you take action, set an optional review reminder, and later compare the outcome with your expectations. Look back anytime Track your progress on the home screen and revisit past decisions, actions, and reviews. TinyPick’s suggestions are there to help you think things through. The final choice is always yours.
