Most apps agree with you. This one argues. ThinqBits Council is a private thinking partner for the decisions you keep circling. Not an oracle that tells you what to do โ€” a room that comes at your thinking hard enough that the objection lands while you can still use it. HOW IT WORKS You say what you'd do. Your own answer, in your own words, written down before anyone can talk you out of it. That's what the debate pushes on. Five to seven thinqers argue with it. Each one comes at your question from a different angle. You watch where they clash on a live collision map โ€” who is in tension, who converges, who builds on whom โ€” not in a wall of transcript. You leave with the blind spots your own framing left out, and one short reusable principle worth keeping. Kept principles come back to argue in later councils. Then we check back. Once you know how the decision actually played out, you mark which objections turned out to count. That record is what makes you sharper โ€” not the app. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข A live collision map of where your thinqers disagree, built as they argue โ€ข The blind spots your framing left out, and the questions still worth answering โ€ข A decision journal: every council kept, with what you decided and what happened โ€ข Calibration: we return once the outcome is known, and read back which objections mattered โ€ข Thinqer packs you can build, reuse, and share for the decisions you keep facing โ€ข A fit check that tells you honestly when this isn't the right tool for your question PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION Every deliberation runs on your device using Apple Intelligence. There is no account, no backend, and no analytics. Your questions and your decisions never leave your phone โ€” that isn't a setting you turn on, it's the only way the app is built. REQUIREMENTS Requires an iPhone or iPad that supports Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence turned on in Settings. Without it you can still explore a full sample council to see how the room works. SUBSCRIPTION Your first council is free. After that, ThinqBits is $4.99/month or $34.99/year, and new subscribers start with a 14-day free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled; you can cancel any time in Settings. Reading your saved councils, your journal, and your calibration is never gated.

It reasons offline with no internet access, so verify anything factual. It is never a substitute for medical, legal, or financial counsel, or for a professional's judgment.
