Our Story

Building Better Decision Makers

Takebook was born from a simple observation: we're terrible at remembering what we believed and why. This makes us terrible at learning from our mistakes.

Our Mission

We believe that tracking your predictions is the fastest way to improve your judgment. When you write down what you think will happen—and why—you create accountability for your reasoning.

Takebook makes this process simple, private, and powerful. No complex forecasting models or public leaderboards. Just you, your thoughts, and the truth of what actually happens.

Accountability

Track what you believed and when, creating a permanent record of your reasoning.

Why This Matters

Most people make the same mistakes over and over because they don't remember their past reasoning. They fall victim to hindsight bias, rewriting history to make themselves look smarter.

Faster Learning

See patterns in your thinking and identify blind spots you didn't know you had.

Better Decisions

Make more thoughtful choices by understanding what influences your judgment.

Honest Reflection

Build intellectual humility by confronting the gap between prediction and reality.

Our Philosophy

Privacy First: Your thoughts belong to you. We don't sell your data, show you ads, or make your predictions public unless you choose to share them.

Simple by Design: Prediction tracking shouldn't require a PhD in statistics. Write what you think, set a date, and see what happens.

Growth Through Truth: The goal isn't to be right all the time—it's to get better at understanding why you're wrong.
