Making better decisions will change your life Take the offer, or hold out? Move cities? Some decisions are too big to wing and too messy for a pros-and-cons list. Others are small enough that agonizing over them feels silly. Forkseer is a decision journal with AI analysis built in. Big or small, it asks the questions you'd skip on your own. Then it runs your choice through the frameworks that fit, and keeps a record of why you decided, so you can check that against what actually happened. How it works 1. Name the decision. One sentence, typed or dictated. Forkseer asks a few sharp follow-up questions from there. 2. See it from every side. Forkseer picks the frameworks that fit your situation, usually three to five from a catalog of 15: - Regret Minimization - Pre-mortem - Inversion - 10/10/10 - Expected Value - Base Rates - Reversible vs. One-Way Door and others. Each gives its own verdict, and Forkseer adds an overall read. 3. Commit, with your why. Your choice, the one main reason behind it, and how confident you are. On the record. 4. Close the loop. Pick a date and Forkseer reminds you when it arrives. You log how things turned out against what you expected. Review your decisions and you get better at making them. Athletes watch themselves on film to get better. Investors keep decision journals. Most people never look back at a single decision they've made. Over time you learn your real hit rate: not the one your memory reports, the one your record shows. You see your patterns, like deciding too fast when you're anxious. And you see your calibration. Were your 80%-sure decisions actually right 80% of the time? The small ones are where the reps are. You make more of them, so they teach you faster. Memory takes sides. Six months from now it will have softened the fear, sharpened the logic, and edited the story until you were right all along. Forkseer keeps the original. No account. Your decisions live in a database on your device; we don't run a server that keeps a copy of your history. Text sent for analysis is processed, not stored, and never used to train AI models. You can export everything from Settings as JSON, Markdown, or CSV. Your first 2 decisions are free. Forkseer Premium raises that to up to 5 decisions a day, on a weekly or annual plan. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account, and the subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in your App Store settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://forkseer.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://forkseer.com/privacy Questions: support@forkseer.com Bring the decision you're wrestling with. The first two are free.
