Precept: Decide by Your Rules
Decision fatigue, without AI
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
No AI, no server, no guessing. Precept answers with the rules you set yourself and shows you which one applied. Everything stays on your device.
Go to the party? Reply to that email now? Take on the extra job? Questions like these cost energy. Late at night, tired or stressed, you decide differently than you would when rested.
Precept takes that off your plate. You define once which rules you want to decide by. Then you type in the question and Precept answers within a second: YES, NO, WAIT or DELEGATE. By your rules, not by your mood.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Set your rules. A rule is made of keywords ("meeting", "buy", "party"), an optional time window ("after 6 pm") and an optional context ("only when I'm tired"), plus the outcome that applies. To get started you pick a template: knowledge work, freelance, budget, social battery or focus.
2. Type the question. Mark what is working against you today: tired, stressed, short on time, short on money, socially drained. These chips are brakes: rules with a context only fire when it is set.
3. Read the verdict. Precept shows it big, with the rule that fired underneath. If no rule matches, your default outcome applies.
The history shows what you decided and when. Rules, priorities and time windows can be changed at any time. Precept only decides the way you taught it. No randomness, no AI, no cloud.

SAFETY
Precept does not decide everything. If the app detects signs in your question that you might want to harm yourself, there is no verdict. Instead it shows emergency and crisis numbers for your country, also available any time under Settings → "Help & crisis lines". Precept is not a crisis service and does not replace professional help.
PRIVACY
Everything stays on your device. Precept has no account, no server, no analytics and no ads. Your rules and history live in one local file that you can delete in Settings at any time.
For everyone who says yes too often, no too late, or decides things at night they regret in the morning.
Requires iOS 26 or later. For iPhone and iPad.
