Yes / No Spinner — Random Decision Wheel

Stuck deciding? Spin a yes/no wheel and let the universe decide. Two equal slices, one click, instant answer. Customize the options to anything — Maybe / Not now, Pizza / Tacos, Stay / Go — it's your wheel.

For anyone facing a tiny decision they keep going back and forth on. Settle a tie-break, pick between two restaurants, or decide whether to go for a run.

Common uses

  • Daily 'should I?' decisions. Should I go for a run? Should I order takeout? Should I send the email? Spin to break the tie.
  • Couples' tiebreakers. Movie A or movie B? Eat in or eat out? Add the two options and spin.
  • Yes/no team votes. Quick gut-check on a small decision when you're tired of debating. Not a substitute for real consensus — just a fun way to break a 50/50 tie.
  • Pickle in the moment. Standing in front of a vending machine, can't pick? Spin and move on with your day.

Frequently asked questions

Is the yes/no spinner truly 50/50?
Yes. With exactly two entries, each slice covers half the wheel. We use crypto.getRandomValues() — the browser's cryptographically secure random function — instead of the standard Math.random(). It pulls high-entropy data from your operating system, so each spin is an independent, genuinely unpredictable coin flip with no memory of previous results.
Can I add more than two options?
Yes. The wheel scales to any number of entries. For three-way decisions, add a third option; for four, add a fourth. Equal slices = equal odds, unless you weight them with Name*N.
Is this the same as a coin flip?
Mathematically, a two-option wheel is equivalent to a coin flip. The wheel just makes it more visual and lets you customize the labels to match your actual decision.
Can I make the odds unequal?
Yes. Weight an option to bias the spin — for example 'Yes*2' and 'No*1' gives 2-to-1 odds toward Yes. Useful when you really want a nudge rather than a true coin flip.
