Decision memory for you and your team
15 followers
How do you keep track of what your team decides? A Slack thread? An email? A notebook you'll never open again? They all vanish. Six months later, nobody remembers why. Dcyde.app is a simple, shareable memory for your decisions. Pin the decision and the why behind it, straight from Slack, Figma, or the app, and actually find it later. Solo developer, small team, or a whole company. Technical or not.
Hi everyone.
Did you make a decision today? Was it about work? Did it involve other people, on your team or another team? And how did you share it, if you shared it at all. Maybe Slack, maybe email, maybe you asked an AI to help you with it.
Most of us here are AI-savvy. But the other 99% of people out there aren't, and they make decisions all day too. Everybody does. And those decisions need to be shared, especially inside big organizations, where they get lost the fastest. I've lived that and felt it for years. That's why I built dcyde.app.
A simple, secure, and modern shared memory for decisions.
How it works: when someone makes a decision worth sharing, they add it to a Dcyde room. Everyone in that room sees it right away. You can turn on voting to align the team, add scopes and links, and as an admin pin the important ones to the top of the feed. If you use Slack or Figma, the connectors let you add decisions straight from those tools.
And in an age where AI is everywhere, one deliberate choice: Dcyde doesn't use AI to read or interpret your decisions. A person makes the call, and Dcyde just keeps it on the record, by name.
It's free for your whole team, no seat limits.
So, did you make a decision today? How did you share it? I'd genuinely love to know.
Thanks for taking a look

the no-AI-interpretation choice is the interesting bet here, most competitors in this space are racing to auto-detect decisions from chat so nobody has to remember to log anything. you're betting the opposite: that a person deliberately choosing to pin something is worth more than passive capture. the risk I'd worry about is adoption - the decisions that most need a paper trail are usually the messy ones made in the heat of a disagreement, exactly when nobody wants to stop and open another app. how are you seeing that play out with real teams so far?
@galdayan My bet is that passive AI capture just makes noise. It logs everything, so no one trusts the list. A person choosing to pin is what makes it matter. The teams who lose decisions the worst usually aren't AI-savvy at all, the whole auto-detect-from-chat race assumes everyone already lives in AI, and most organizations don't.
That's why /pin lives inside Slack, you don't leave the channel, and I want to add more connectors so you can capture wherever your team already works. Whether the habit sticks, I'll only learn from real use.
How does search work if my team has been piling in decisions for a couple of years, is it tagging based or do you rely on some kind of AI to surface the right one when I only remember a detail or two?
@celalasravxqhf Keyword-based plus filters, no AI. You search across the decision and its reasoning, not just the title, and narrow by scope, author, or date range. No AI reading or interpreting your decisions, that's a deliberate line.
This one hits home. I keep hundreds of decision records for my own product and the hard part turned out to be neither writing them nor storing them. It's that months later nobody remembers the decision exists, so nobody goes looking for it. Does Dcyde resurface old decisions on its own when they become relevant again, or is it search based?
@henry_s_jung Your decisions are your data. Dcyde won't run AI over them itself, nothing reads or summarizes them in the background. A person makes the call and it stays on the record with their name.
If you want to connect your own AI to read them, that's up to you. I want to add an API for that, and for exporting your decisions wherever you want. It's in the backlog for now.
It would be great if Dcyde could automatically link related decisions when you pin a new one, so you can trace how a choice evolved over time instead of just seeing a flat list. That would make the why behind a decision much clearer months later.
@robersonbr32549 Hi. It's actually a feature in the backlog; I am glad you shared this. Out of curiosity, when you look back months later, is it usually one decision you're hunting for, or the whole chain that led somewhere?
Love that it pulls decisions straight from Slack. Honestly the "pin the why" part is what sold me, half my team's reasoning lives in a graveyard of DMs that nobody bothers to search later.
@keremdbga Exactly, the DM graveyard is the enemy. And the "why" is just the start: on each decision you can tag specific people, add scopes to keep things organized, set an owner who's accountable for the call, and ask the team to align through a private vote. That last part has worked surprisingly well for remote teams, you get honest signal instead of meetings. Is your team mostly remote? That's exactly who I built the alignment feature for.
how does the search actually work if I'm trying to find a decision from months ago, like can I filter by team or just keywords?
@filizaltuniu43 Yes, the search has a date range filter. You can filter by scope (like "Design System" or "Pricing"), by author, and by date range, and there's keyword search across the decision and its reasoning on top
