Async decisions for calm teams.
Asynq helps remote teams make decisions with clear ownership, shared context, and intentional revisits over time.
Decisions get lost in Slack
Chat is for discussion, not record-keeping. Asynq gives every decision a permanent home.

Questions
How is this different from Notion?
Notion is a blank canvas. Asynq provides a rigid structure for decision-making that enforces ownership and revisits.
Do we need to replace our docs?
No. Asynq links to your docs. It's the layer above them where the choice happens.
Who makes the final decision?
The assigned owner. Asynq is not a voting tool; it's an ownership tool.
How do revisits work?
When you finalize a decision, you pick a date. Asynq reminds the owner to review if the decision was correct.
