Too many choices. Not enough clarity.

You have a list of options in front of you—maybe it’s features to build, investments to make, or career paths to follow. Every option seems important. Every decision feels risky.

You go back and forth, weighing pros and cons, but instead of clarity, you feel stuck. What if you choose the wrong one? What if you waste time and resources?

Turn confusion into confidence

What if you had a simple way to see what truly matters? 1st things 1st helps you prioritize any list of options—not just tasks. Whether you're deciding what to launch next, where to focus your time, or even which city to move to, our intuitive system helps you compare, rank, and decide with confidence.

Instead of endless debates, you’ll get a clear, ranked list that makes sense. No more second-guessing—just action.

Make smarter decisions, faster

Intuitive prioritization: follow your intuition

Some decisions feel natural—you just need a way to bring that intuition to the surface. Intuitive prioritization helps you do exactly that.

Imagine sorting through your options like making everyday choices—one step at a time. Simply compare two at a time, and let the system organize them based on your natural preferences. No overthinking, no spreadsheets—just a clear ranking that feels right.

When you need a seamless, effortless way to prioritize, let your intuition lead the way.

Smart prioritization: think bigger, decide smarter

For complex decisions, you need more than just gut feeling—you need insight. Smart prioritization helps you weigh your options from multiple angles, considering impact, effort, or any criteria that matter to you.

With AI-powered autosuggestions and fast evaluations, you can eliminate guesswork and gain clarity instantly. Watch as your priorities are calculated before your eyes, giving you the confidence to move forward with the right choices.

And because no two decisions are the same, you can customize your prioritization experience with flexible templates, tailored to your unique needs.

Rimas Kudelis

Software Developer, Friend

"The more complex decisions you have to make, the harder it is to grasp all aspects that are involved and make them. 1st Things 1st will help you make such strategic decisions by exploding your problems into series of discrete criteria and rating your options according to those criteria. Once that is done, you'll see all those options sorted by strategic importance and know exactly which ones to choose and why."
