Welcome

Dioptra is software that helps people choose actions in ethically difficult situations. It helps individuals, but is especially useful for groups.

Dioptra will not make people ethical...

... but it can help ethical people be better decision makers.

Dioptra will not fix an organizational culture that tolerates unethical behavior...

... but it can help an ethical company live up to its standards.

The installation program has been improved, so that it correctly deletes shortcuts to Dioptra. The current version on the download page is now 0.24.

You don't need to replace version 0.23, as only the installation program, not Dioptra itself, has changed. After you uninstall Dioptra 0.23, right-click on the Dioptra shortcut in the Programs menu, and select Delete.
