Decision Timer

Read full description

Time-boxed reflection, then decide. Decision Timer is a structured decision system built around deadlines, guided reflection, and outcome learning. Instead of endless pros and cons, you give yourself a time limit. When the timer ends, you pause, reflect with prompts, then commit to Yes or No. This is not a habit tracker. Not a journal. Not a productivity system. It is a binary decision tool with built-in reflection and learning. KEY FEATURES β€’ Guided reflection step When your timer ends, optional prompts help you think clearly before choosing (e.g. β€œWhat does your gut say?”) β€’ Decision categories Organise decisions by Work, Money, Relationships, Health, or Other. Filter your history by category. β€’ Outcome tracking After a decision, later record: β€œWould I decide the same again?” (Yes / No / Skip) to spot patterns. β€’ Custom timers Set deadlines from 5 minutes to 24 hours. Get notified when it’s time to decide. β€’ Multi-language support Available in 7 languages. FREE β€’ Up to 3 active decisions β€’ Full reflection, categories, and outcome features PREMIUM (one-time purchase) β€’ Unlimited decisions β€’ Full history forever β€’ Pay once. No subscription. Ideal for job offers, big purchases, relationship choices, and everyday dilemmas. Privacy-first. All decision data stays on your device. No accounts. No tracking.
