What is Decision Maker?

A decision maker helps you choose randomly from a list of options when you can't decide. Add your choices, spin the wheel or press the button, and let randomness settle the debate — perfect for picking restaurants, assigning tasks, or breaking ties.

Each option carries a weight, so you can bias the draw if some choices deserve more frequency. The wheel animates a real spin and lands on a single result; a history panel keeps the last picks so you can spot whether the randomness feels fair. Nothing is stored on a server.

How to use

1. Type your options one at a time and press Enter or click Add to build your list.
2. Press 'Decide' to randomly select one option from your list with an animated reveal.
3. Remove or edit options as needed, then decide again. History tracks past picks.

When to use

• Settling a group dinner choice when five people have five different cravings.
• Assigning chores or sprint tickets without anyone claiming bias.
• Drawing a winner from a giveaway list pasted from a comment thread.

Result

Five friends, five food cravings, zero patience. Add Pizza, Sushi, Tacos, Burgers, and Thai, hit Decide, and the wheel lands on Sushi. Argument over in three seconds.

FAQ

Is the draw really random or is there a fixed pattern?

It uses standard Math.random, which is uniformly distributed at our scale. Over hundreds of spins each option converges to its share of the total weight. The animation is just visual; the pick is committed before the wheel slows down.

What does the weight slider actually do?

It shifts probability. If three options have weights 1, 1, and 2, the third option lands twice as often as either of the others. Set everything to 1 for an even draw, or push one option higher when you want a soft tilt.

Can I save my option list for next time?

Yes. Your list and weights now save automatically on this device, so a refresh or an accidental close brings the same wheel right back. There's still no account and nothing leaves your device. Use Reset, or the Clear saved wheel link, whenever you want to wipe it.

How many options can I add?

The wheel stays readable up to about 20 slices. You can add more, but the labels start to overlap. Past 30 a numbered list with a plain random pick reads better than the wheel itself.

Why did the same option win twice in a row?

Independent draws have no memory. With four equally weighted options there's still a 1-in-16 chance of the same winner twice running. That's expected, not a glitch. The history panel makes long streaks easier to notice.
