Decision Wheel

Type any options (one per line), spin, and take the answer. This decision wheel is a general-purpose random choice picker for the decisions you've been circling for too long: what to do tonight, which task to start, which name stays on the shortlist.

Stop overthinking choices that are basically tied

Most stalled decisions are stalled because the options are roughly equal. If one were clearly better, you'd have picked it already. A decision wheel breaks that tie instantly: type your options one per line, hit spin, and every enabled entry gets an equal chance. The wheel redraws as you type, so you can add or cut options right up until the spin.

It works as a choice randomizer for anything you can put into words. Spin between weekend plans or trip destinations, pick which item on your to-do list to start first, or settle a baby name debate that's gone around the table three times. It's good for narrowing a gift shortlist too. The winner lands in the result box and in the visible Results history, so a group decision has a record everyone watched happen.

If you secretly lean toward one option, you don't have to pretend otherwise. Advanced mode lets you give entries per-entry weights, so you can tilt the wheel toward your favorite. And since the weights show up in the setup where anyone can see them, there's no hidden trick involved. Recurring dilemmas can be saved to My Wheels on your device, or sent to someone else as a Quick Share link.

How to use the decision wheel

  1. List your options. Type or paste your choices into the entries list, one per line. The wheel updates as you type.
  2. Trim the list to real contenders. Delete anything you'd be disappointed to land on. If an option isn't acceptable, it doesn't belong on the wheel.
  3. Spin the wheel. Click the Spin button or the wheel itself. The slice under the pointer is your decision.
  4. Commit to the result. Take the answer and move on. If your gut sank when it landed, that reaction just told you what you actually wanted.

Tip: only put options on the wheel you're genuinely willing to accept. The spin works best when every slice is a real yes.

Decisions people hand to the wheel

Any list of acceptable options is one spin away from a decision. These come up the most:

Home

Tonight's plans

The default wheel comes loaded with movie night, game night, go out, and stay in. Add your own plans and let the evening pick itself.

Work

Where to start on the to-do list

When every task feels equally urgent, put them all on the wheel and start wherever it lands. Starting somewhere beats stalling.

Gifts

Gift idea shortlists

Down to three solid gift ideas and stuck? Spin. Each one already passed your filter, so the winner is a safe pick.

Family

Baby name shortlists

Put the finalists on the wheel for a low-stakes tiebreaker, or just to see how you both react when a name actually wins.

Travel

Trip destinations

List the cities or weekend spots you keep debating and let the wheel book the argument shut. Save the wheel to reuse for the next trip.

Groups

Group deadlocks

Open a Spin With Friends room so everyone watches the same spin land live. A shared result is much easier to accept than one person's call.

Common questions about the decision wheel

Does every option have an equal chance?

Yes, by default. Every enabled entry gets an equal-sized slice and each spin uses fresh random selection in your browser, so past results never affect the next spin.

Can I make the wheel favor one option?

Yes. Turn on Advanced mode and set per-entry weights to give an option a bigger share of the wheel. The slice sizes change to match, so anyone watching can see the odds you set.

How many choices can I add?

Up to 2,000 entries, one per line. Labels get tiny on very large wheels, but the spin and the winner announcement work the same. For everyday decisions, 3 to 10 options is the sweet spot.

Can the wheel pick the same option twice?

Yes, each spin is independent. If you're working through a list and want no repeats, turn on auto remove winner so each picked option leaves the wheel automatically.

Can I save a wheel I use all the time?

Yes. Save it to My Wheels and it's stored in your browser on that device, or download it as a file to reopen later. Quick Share creates a link that gives someone else a copy of your wheel.

Is the decision wheel free?

Yes. Spinning, saving, sharing, and all customization options are free, and you never need an account.
