Optional Salad

DoWeDontWe · by Optional Salad

Making decisions together should feel good.

A calm app for the decisions you make with other people — where to go, what to buy, what to play, who does which chore. Everyone adds ideas, the group decides in a way that suits the decision, and nobody has to chase a group chat.

Coming soon to Android and iPhone

How it works

Start a room

One room per decision — a holiday, a birthday, a playlist. Invite people with a code or QR.

Add ideas

Share links from any website or app, or type an idea. Titles, pictures and prices are filled in for you.

Decide your way

Like, score, rank, swipe, go head to head, spin a wheel, or keep a budget — whatever suits the group.

Gifts and plans

Birthday and festive lists keep surprises secret; map rooms plan days out; pocket money rooms track chores.
