Write before you know. PharPhar is a decision journal for preserving what you thought before you knew the outcome. Record the real options, expectations, reservations, and unknowns that exist today. When the record feels faithful, seal it: future observations are added without rewriting the past. REVIEW A CHOICE HONESTLY • Prepare a decision in several steps. • Describe what you hope or fear for each option. • Keep an initial, verifiable sealed view. • Schedule a review with a discreet local notification. • Later compare facts, surprises, and alternative explanations. SEE THE BRANCHES, NOT A VERDICT The Butterfly Map keeps the lived branch and unobserved futures visible. The Timeline brings decisions and reviews together. In the Laboratory, track your own measures and write several competing hypotheses. PharPhar describes trajectories without claiming to prove a cause. YOUR DATA BELONGS TO YOU No account required. The journal works offline, keeps sensitive content encrypted on your iPhone, and can be locked. Export readable JSON, create an encrypted archive, restore your data, or erase everything with a new local key. The structuring assistant is optional. When a compatible Apple model is available, it runs on-device and every suggestion must be confirmed. A deterministic local guide remains available otherwise. Start with a real decision, before its outcome changes your memory.
