Cadenzova DecisionsLoqbooq alternative
Loqbooq shut down. Here’s where to keep your decision log.
Loqbooq was a simple decision log and ADR tool that lived in Slack, Microsoft Teams and Webex. Its website says it closed after 31 August 2024. Cadenzova Decisions does the same core job (a record of what your team decided and why) and uses AI to structure, connect and answer questions about it.
The short answer
If you need a decision log that is still running, with a free plan, Cadenzova Decisions is a direct replacement for Loqbooq’s log and ADR use. The one thing it does differently: it is a web app, not a Slack app. You capture a decision by typing it, saying it or pasting a screenshot of the thread, rather than with a slash command.

What you get beyond a plain decision log
- AI structure
- Second Sight pulls the decision, reasoning, alternatives and expected outcome out of a sentence or screenshot.
- Connected decisions
- Related, superseding and contradicting decisions are linked automatically, and you are warned while typing if you already decided something similar.
- Outcomes
- Log what actually happened, get scheduled review reminders, and see how well-calibrated your confidence was.
- Answers
- Ask “why did we…?” and get an answer grounded only in decisions you recorded; semantic search on Pro.
Moving from Loqbooq in four steps
- 01
Create a business space
Sign up free and add a business space for your team or project.
- 02
Bring over what still matters
From your Loqbooq PDF export, paste or screenshot the decisions people still ask about. Second Sight fills in the reasoning and alternatives.
- 03
Capture new decisions where they happen
Screenshot the Slack or Teams thread when a decision lands, or send decisions in with an API key and Zapier (Pro).
- 04
Close the loop
Log the outcome when it plays out, and ask “why did we…?” whenever the question comes up again.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Loqbooq still available?
- No. Loqbooq’s own website says the service was shut down after 31 August 2024 and is now kept for reference only. Users were sent a PDF export of their decision logs.
- What is the best Loqbooq alternative?
- If you used Loqbooq as a lightweight decision log or for architecture decision records (ADRs), Cadenzova Decisions covers the same job and adds AI: each decision is structured into reasoning, alternatives and expected outcome, related decisions are linked automatically, outcomes are tracked, and you can ask "why did we decide this?". It has a free plan. If you specifically need decisions approved inside Slack with one click, look for a Slack-native polling or approval app instead.
- Can I import my old Loqbooq decisions?
- There is no automatic Loqbooq importer. Because Loqbooq exported to PDF, the quickest route is to paste or screenshot each important decision into Cadenzova Decisions; Second Sight extracts the decision, reasoning and alternatives for you, so you are not retyping fields. Start with the decisions people still ask about.
- Does Cadenzova Decisions have a Slack app like Loqbooq?
- No. Loqbooq lived inside Slack, Microsoft Teams and Webex. In Cadenzova Decisions you paste a screenshot of the chat thread where the decision happened (or type or speak it), and on Pro and above scoped API keys let Zapier or a script send decisions in automatically.
