ProsCons turns tough decisions into clear scores. Create a decision, add pro and con items, and assign each a weight from 1 to 5 to reflect how much it matters. The app totals the weighted scores on each side and shows a net result so you can see at a glance which way the scales tip. A bar chart visualises the breakdown, and you can store as many decisions as you like in SwiftData.
