Pickwise is a native Mac app for the moment every purchase gets stuck: three finalists, thirty tabs, and no decision. Type in 2–5 products — names, links, or pasted spec sheets — or drag a box over any product page on your screen. Pickwise researches current prices and specs on the live web, builds a side-by-side table of the criteria that matter for that category, scores each product 0–100, and lists honest pros and cons with sources you can check. Then it does the thing comparison sites never do: it commits. "Go with X." Why, who the runner-up is, and the exact situations where you'd choose differently. Any comparison can be shared as a clean PDF. No account, no setup — your first 3 comparisons are free. Pickwise Pro is $5.99/month, $49.99/year, or $99 once, with 30 comparisons a month and AI usage included. Native SwiftUI, signed and notarized, works on Apple silicon and Intel. History stays on your Mac; no affiliate links, ever. iPhone version is in the works — there's a waitlist on the site.

It's open source, so if you want to add topics or improve it, PRs are welcome.
