Decide on items quickly

The decision queue on the home tab surfaces one undecided item at a time with inline outcome chips, so you can resolve a stack of items without opening each one.

Where: Home tab, between Today's Challenge and Recent Items

When to use it

Most decluttering work happens in two waves: first a burst of logging, then a sit-down to make decisions. The decision queue is for that second wave. Open it on the bus, in a quiet evening, while waiting for the kettle.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Open the home tab. The 'Make a decision' card appears whenever you have undecided items.

  2. 2

    Look at the item shown. Tap an outcome chip — Let go, Donate, Gift, Sell, Recycle, or Keep — to resolve it.

    The next undecided item slides in automatically.

  3. 3

    If you're not sure, tap 'Help me decide' to start an AI conversation about that item.

  4. 4

    If you want to come back to it later, tap 'Skip for now'.

    Skipped items still show up in your overall undecided list — they're just hidden from the queue for the rest of this session.

  5. 5

    When you've worked through everything, the card disappears.

What to expect

  • Tapping an outcome chip is a one-tap commitment — there's no confirmation. You can always change the outcome later from the item's detail page.
  • If you tap Keep on an item with high emotional attachment, you may see the soft-challenge offer (an opt-in chat). Decline and the queue advances anyway.
  • Items that belong to other people (with a 'Belongs to' link to a connected person) appear in the 'Waiting on others' card instead — they don't clog up the queue.
