Your attention. Your choice.

Make space for what matters.

Your phone shouldn’t decide where your attention goes. Decide puts distracting apps on hold, so you can focus on your work, be present with your family or make time for yourself.

Start now or schedule protected time. Need one app for a moment? Take a Mini Break.

The Work screen in Decide: its statement; Protect now, with 30 minutes, 1 hour (chosen), Until… and No end time, a Begin button and “Until 2:00 PM · 4 apps can wait”; and When it matters, with two weekday times switched on.
Decide’s Home, headed “What matters”: a card reading “Nothing protected right now” with Next “Work · Today at 2:00 PM”, and the areas Family, Work, Health and Personal with their times, above Manage areas.

Decide’s Home while Work is protected on its schedule: “Protection is on”, “Scheduled until 5:00 PM”, Take a Mini Break and End protection, with the other areas listed below.

Your phone knows what wants your attention. You decide what deserves it.

You pick up your phone to check one thing and look up long after, still scrolling. Decide lets you choose the apps that pull you in and set them aside while you work, read or spend time with your family — the moments you decided matter.

How it works

  1. Choose what matters

    Family, work, sleep, education, health, personal time, friends or faith. Keep the areas that are yours and hide the rest.

  2. Choose the apps that can wait

    Pick the specific apps that pull you away, in Apple’s own picker. Decide can see how many you chose, never which ones.

  3. Choose when it matters

    Protect an area right now, or give it regular time: weekday mornings, every evening, or just tonight. Reach for an app you chose, and Decide reminds you of your decision.

You decide what can wait.

Choose the apps that tend to pull you away, one by one. While an area is protected, they’re set aside. Open one, and Decide shows you the choice you made instead.

The Family screen in Decide: Protect now; When it matters, with a weekend morning switched on; and What can wait, reading “4 apps · 2 websites” with Choose apps, and the note that Decide can see how many things you chose, never which ones.
Decide’s Add time sheet for Family, on Repeats: Monday to Friday chosen, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Remind me off, and the summary “Family will be protected every weekday, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM.”

Protect time now, or make it a habit.

Begin now for 30 minutes, an hour, until a time you pick or until you end it. Or give an area its own time — weekday mornings for focused work, evenings for family — and it starts and ends on its own, even when Decide is closed. A reminder beforehand is optional.

Take a break. Come back.

A Mini Break opens one protected app for 5, 10 or 15 minutes while everything else stays protected. When the time is up, that app is protected again on its own.

Decide’s Home during a Mini Break: Work protected until 3:00 PM, “3 other apps are still protected · 2 websites”, and a Mini Break card with 10:00 remaining and End Mini Break.

Your life is not our dataset.

Decide has no account, no ads, and no analytics or tracking code. It doesn’t collect the apps you choose or how you use your phone: your areas, chosen apps and schedules are stored on this iPhone, and Decide can’t read the names of the apps you choose. Optional reminders are delivered by iOS and may appear on your connected devices. This describes the app; the privacy notice also covers this website, and the creators application form has its own notice.
