Clarity is a Socratic thinking partner that helps you work through decisions, process emotions, and plan your next move — by asking the right questions, not giving you the answers. Unlike generic assistants that tell you what to do, Clarity uses Socratic questioning to draw out what you already know. Every conversation adapts to your values, goals, and communication style. Everything stays on your device. THINK THROUGH ANYTHING Whether you're weighing a career move, processing a tough conversation, or brainstorming your next project, Clarity meets you where you are. Choose from focused session types — brainstorming, processing, decision-making, planning, or open reflection. 8 THINKING FRAMEWORKS Go deeper with structured methods drawn from decision science and executive coaching. Apply Pre-Mortem to anticipate failure modes, Regret Minimization for direction-setting choices, 10-10-10 Analysis to weigh the long view, and Fear Setting when anxiety clouds judgment. Plus Pros & Cons, Friend's Advice, Values Alignment, and Ideal Week Design — each guided by hand-written prompts that ask the questions a wise friend would. YOUR VALUES, YOUR COMPASS Tell Clarity what matters most to you. Your values and goals become the lens through which every conversation is filtered — so advice always connects back to what you actually care about. COMPLETE PRIVACY Clarity processes everything on your device. Your conversations never leave your phone. No cloud. No tracking. No data collection. Period.
