Every decisions & goals app on these lists

17 apps in total. Each line is what that app does differently from the others here — the reason it made a list rather than being a second copy of something already on it.

• AgendaAgenda puts notes on a timeline beside the calendar, so months later you can find not just the decision but the week that led up to it.
• Best DecisionBest Decision scores each option against what you actually care about, instead of leaving you to re-rank them in your head every night.
• BlindVerified employees talking anonymously — layoffs, re-orgs, bonuses, offer evaluations. The private company forums are where you hear what the recruiter won't say.
• Day OneWrite it down with photos and audio, in a journal only you can open.
• Eisenhower MatrixEisenhower Matrix sorts by urgent against important, which is the decision underneath most of the others.
• FrameworkPick a thinking model like Eisenhower or a premortem; AI fills it in.
• GlassdoorReviews from people who worked there: culture, leadership, work-life balance, pay. Filter ratings by gender, race and more, and ask the awkward questions anonymously in Bowls.
• How We FeelName what you're feeling, then spot the patterns as they show up.
• Lean CanvasLean Canvas puts the whole business idea on one page, so you find out which part you cannot actually answer.
• Levels.fyiLive salary submissions, broken down into base, bonus and equity, so the number in the offer can be compared with what people at that level are actually paid.
• Pros & ConsPros & Cons lays the two sides out and weighs them, for the choice you have been turning over since last month.
• Soulver 4Soulver 4 is a notepad that does the arithmetic in the margin. Write the numbers as sentences, line by line, and each answer appears beside the line you typed.
• SpeekoReal-time feedback on pace, tone and filler words, so the interview, or the conversation you have to say out loud, gets rehearsed first.
• stoic.Morning and evening prompts to get the loop out of your head.
• SWOT PalSWOT Pal takes the name of the thing you're deciding about, researches it, then fills a SWOT and a TOWS matrix, each line traced back to a source you can open.
• Tiny DecisionsSpin a wheel for the decisions that don't deserve an hour.
• XmindXmind branches it out: one node per consideration, dragged around until the shape of the problem shows. It switches to a plain outline when the map gets loud.
