01. The Gap Between Deciding and Doing
You've picked the perfect date night spot from your jar. Now what? The old workflow: copy the name, open WhatsApp, paste it, ask 'Does Friday work?', wait for replies, then open Google Calendar, search for the restaurant, add the event, then Splitwise to log the cost. That's 6 app switches before anyone leaves the house. Decision Jar closes this gap with built-in planning tools.
02. Plan Chat: Real-Time Coordination
Every idea in your jar gets its own Plan Chat thread. Open it from the idea card, the spin result, or Events. You'll see live typing indicators when someone is composing a reply, and you can share photos (menus, outfit checks, venue screenshots) and drop location pins with addresses. The conversation stays linked to the idea forever — so you can revisit it next time you do the same activity.
03. Bill Splitter: Fair and Frictionless
After the night out, open the Bill Splitter from Plan Chat or the Events overflow menu. Enter the total, choose participants, and pick an even or custom split. The app generates a unique payment link you can share with anyone — they don't even need an account. Recipients see exactly what they owe, and can mark their share as paid. No more awkward 'you owe me' texts.
04. Event Actions: Your Activity Command Center
Events isn't just a scrapbook — it's a command center for completed activities. Each event entry has quick-access icons for View, Favorite, and Photos, plus an overflow menu with Plan Chat, Split Bill, Add Again (re-add to any jar), Add to Calendar (Google, Outlook, Apple), Edit, and Delete. Everything you need to relive, re-plan, or settle up is one tap away.
Common Questions
How does Plan Chat work in Decision Jar?
Plan Chat is a real-time messaging thread linked to any idea in your jar or Events. When you spin the jar or select an idea, you can open a Plan Chat to coordinate logistics with your group — share photos, drop location pins, and see typing indicators, all without leaving the app.
How do I split a bill with my group?
Open the Bill Splitter from Plan Chat or the Events overflow menu. Snap a receipt or enter the total, select participants, and choose an even or itemised split. The app generates a shareable link so everyone can see exactly what they owe.
Can I add a decided activity to my calendar?
Yes! From the Events overflow menu, tap 'Add to Calendar' and choose Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar. The event is pre-filled with the idea's title, notes, and date.
