Deferred

Keep track of the decisions you’re avoiding, over time

Some decisions stay unresolved longer than we admit. They do not disappear. They quietly add mental load. Deferred helps you see those decisions clearly.

Unmade decisions carry a cost

When a decision is left open, it keeps returning in the background. You think about it while doing other things.
You revisit it without resolving it.

Over time, this becomes mental load.

Deferred does not help you decide.
It shows you what you are choosing to live with.

Only real decisions

Deferred is not a task manager. It is for decisions that require a yes or no.

Examples:

  • Stay or leave
  • Buy or don't buy
  • Reach out or move on

No tasks. No plans. No reminders.

How Deferred works

Step 1

Add a decision you have not made yet.

Step 2

Time passes.
The app tracks how long the decision remains open.

Step 3

You can add notes as things change.
These notes form a timeline.

Step 4

When you finally decide, you mark it as decided.
The time and notes stay.

No notifications. No nudges. No advice.

What Deferred does not do

  • It does not remind you
  • It does not tell you what to do
  • It does not suggest next steps
  • It does not frame decisions as tasks
  • It does not reward completion

Deferred exists to make avoidance visible, not comfortable.

Inside the app

What you are avoiding

A simple list of decisions you have not made yet. Sorted by how long they have been avoided.

Decision details

See how many days the decision has stayed open. Add notes over time. View everything as a timeline.

What you lived with

Decisions you have already made.
The record remains.

Private by design

Everything stays on your device.
No accounts.
No cloud sync.
No data collection.

Deferred is simple on purpose.
