History
Results are random and meant for fun and low stakes choices, not medical, legal, financial or safety decisions.
The Decision Maker is a free custom wheel that picks one option from your own list. Type or paste up to 100 options, spin, and the wheel lands on a fair random winner. You can weight slices, remove each winner, start from templates like what to eat, and save or share your wheel.

How the wheel spinner picks a fair winner
A decision wheel is only useful if you can trust it. Every spin starts with a random number from the Web Crypto API in your browser. That number picks the winner first, then the wheel spins and slows down to land on it. The animation never changes the result.
With equal slices, every option has exactly the same chance. Eight options means a one in eight chance each, or 12.5 percent. Rejection sampling removes the tiny tilt that can creep in when a big random number is squeezed into a small range.
Weighted slices change the odds out in the open. Give Pizza a weight of 3 while the others stay at 1, and the Pizza slice grows to three times the size. The chance shown next to each option always matches the slice you see.
Remove winner takes each winner off the wheel when you spin again. It is a fair way to set an order, such as who goes first, second and third, or to work down a list until one option is left.
Fair by design
- Picked with the Web Crypto API
- Slice size always matches the odds
- Winner locked in before the spin
- Your options never leave your device
Ideas for a custom wheel
What to eat
End the dinner debate. Load the What to eat template or add your favorite local spots, then let the wheel choose.
What to watch
Put a few shows or movie genres on the wheel and spin once. No more scrolling for an hour before picking something.
Who goes first
Use the Who goes first template with player names, and turn on remove winner to set the whole turn order.
Chores and jobs
Make a chore wheel for the house or a job wheel for class helpers. Save it so it is ready every week.
Weekend plans
List a few outings and let the wheel plan your Saturday. Weighted slices let favorite ideas come up more often.
Giveaways and streams
Streamers and clubs spin a custom wheel to pick prizes or challenges live. Fullscreen fills the screen for everyone watching.
Tips and variations
- Paste a list. Copy a column from a spreadsheet or a notes app and paste it in. Each line becomes a slice, up to 100 options.
- Use weighted slices. Set a weight from 1 to 10 for each option. An option with weight 2 has twice the chance of an option with weight 1.
- Remove winners. Each winner leaves the wheel on the next spin. Press Put back to return every removed option.
- Save your wheels. Saved wheels stay in this browser. Load one in a tap, or update it by saving again with the same title.
- Share a wheel. The share link carries the title, options and weights, so a friend can spin the exact same wheel.

Yes. Turn on Weighted slices and give any option a weight from 1 to 10. Its slice grows to match, and the exact chance shows next to each option.
