About

What If Machine

Features

Read full description

WHAT IF MACHINE lets you simulate a decision before you make it. Type the dilemma (move to Lisbon, leave the job, tell them the truth) and see three timelines: safe, chaos, best. It's a thought experiment, not a prediction. The machine doesn't know your future — it just walks the branches and shows you what you'd say a year from now under each path. Everything runs on-device. No accounts. No data leaves your phone. Unlock Deep Timeline for a long-range simulation with branches. Buy alternate outcomes to see all three paths at once. Or go Pro for unlimited simulations and decision history. Entertainment + reflection. Not therapy. Not a fortune teller. IN-APP PURCHASES • Deep Timeline — $1.99 • Alternate Outcomes — $2.99 • Decision Pack (5 credits) — $4.99 • What If Pro — $6.99 / month • Lifetime — $24.99 (one-time) First simulation each day is free.
