Olympe Scales: Decision Maker
Offline scales for weighing a decision
What the app does
Olympe Scales turns a tangled choice into two pans of a balance. You state the question, add arguments to each side, give every argument a weight from 1 to 5, and watch the beam tilt as you go. The app never decides for you: it shows where the weight falls, then lets you commit to either option, including the lighter one. Some months later it asks how the decision held up, and your personal record of how you decide builds up in the Marble screen. Everything lives on your iPhone. The app makes no network requests.

Frequently asked
What do the weights mean? A weight is how much an argument matters to you, from 1 (barely) to 5 (a lot). The beam tilts by the difference between the two totals relative to everything on the scales, so one strong argument can outweigh three weak ones.
What are the verdict bands? The app names the tilt in five steps: the pans hold level, a slight lean, a clear lean, a decisive lean, or nothing on the scales yet. The bands come from fixed thresholds, so the same arguments always give the same verdict.
Can I choose against the scales? Yes, and on purpose. Both Decide buttons are always available. Choosing the lighter side is recorded as a decision against the weight, and Marble keeps count of how those turn out compared with the ones that followed the weight.
How does the follow-up work? When you commit, you can ask to be checked on in 1, 3 or 6 months, or never. There are no notifications. The next time you open the app after that date, a card at the top of Agora asks how it went.
Is there an account or a subscription? No. There is no sign-up, no paywall and no in-app purchase.
Where is my data? Decisions, arguments and outcomes are stored locally on your iPhone. Deleting the app deletes them. Settings → Erase all decisions does the same without deleting the app.
