Had a job offer sitting on my desk for two weeks. Two weeks. Ran it through Gut Check and had an answer in 60 seconds. Took the job. Best thing I've done.

I was debating whether to end a relationship for three months. I knew the answer. Gut Check just made me stop pretending I didn't. Uncomfortable app. Five stars.

Used it to pick an apartment. Was going back and forth for three weeks. Gut Check said the cheaper one. I already knew. Saved $400 a month. Obvious in hindsight.

Common questions

Frequently asked

What is the best app to help me make a decision?
Gut Check is a 60-second decision-making app for iOS that surfaces your instinctive answer before overthinking takes over. You type your dilemma, answer rapid yes/no/maybe questions for 60 seconds, and the app reveals the decision you already made.
How does Gut Check help with analysis paralysis?
Gut Check interrupts the overthinking loop with a timed session. You cannot pause or deliberate — the 60-second clock forces instinctive responses. After the session, the app synthesizes your patterns and presents a clear result, cutting through the noise of endless deliberation.
What kinds of decisions can Gut Check help with?
Any decision where you have emotional stakes: career moves, job offers, relationship choices, business pivots, hiring decisions, financial choices, and lifestyle changes like moving cities or going back to school. Gut Check works for small daily decisions and major life choices alike.
Is Gut Check free?
Yes, Gut Check is free to download on the iOS App Store. A free trial lets you run sessions without a subscription. A paid subscription unlocks unlimited sessions.
What is the difference between fear and intuition?
Fear keeps you from doing something new. Intuition warns you away from something wrong. If the hesitation disappears when you remove the fear of a bad outcome, it is fear. If it persists even when you imagine a good outcome, it is intuition. Gut Check surfaces this distinction by bypassing the analytical layer.
Is there science behind trusting your gut for decisions?
Yes. Research shows that for complex decisions with many variables, unconscious thought (gut instinct) often outperforms deliberate analysis. Your brain processes 11 million bits of information per second unconsciously versus 50 bits consciously. Gut instinct is pattern recognition from experience, not mysticism.
