A small app for iPhone

Decide what matters. Protect what matters.

Choose what matters to you and what can wait. When distraction appears, Decide brings you back to what you chose.

No account. No ads. No tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone.

Decide’s Now screen while Family is protected, showing the area, its statement, and a single control to end protection.

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

Decide does not judge every minute of screen time, and it does not tell you what should matter. It protects the periods you set aside — for work, for sleep, for the people around you, for whatever you chose — from the apps you chose to set aside.

How it works

  1. Choose what matters

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

  2. Choose what can wait

    The apps or categories that should not interrupt. You pick them in Apple’s own picker; Decide can see how many you chose, never which ones.

  3. Choose when it matters

    Set aside times — a weekly rhythm, an overnight, or just tonight — or decide in the moment. When one of those apps calls, Decide reminds you of your decision. You can always end it.

Protect your sleep.

Pick the apps or categories that can wait overnight, and the hours that are yours. If you reach for one of them during the night, Decide reminds you what you chose.

The Sleep area in Decide, set to every day from 10:30 PM to 6:30 AM.

Your life is not our dataset.

Your selected apps, areas, times, protection state, and phone activity stay on your iPhone. Decide has no account, behavioral analytics, advertising, cloud activity profile, or AI service reading how you use your phone.
