How does the random decision maker choose?

It uses crypto.getRandomValues — a cryptographically secure random source — to pick one of your options with equal probability. Every option has the same chance, with no bias toward the top or bottom of the list.

When should I let a tool decide for me?

It is most useful for low-stakes choices where you are genuinely torn — what to eat, which task to start, which film to watch. Outsourcing the decision breaks analysis-paralysis and often reveals which option you were secretly hoping for.

Are my options uploaded?

No. The random decision maker runs entirely in your browser. The options you type are processed locally and never sent to a server.

What are the built-in modes?

Three: "Decide for me" picks from your pasted list; "Yes / No" answers a binary question; and "Magic 8-ball" picks from Yes, No, Maybe and Ask again later for a bit of fun.

The Random Decision Maker breaks analysis-paralysis by picking one of your options at random. Paste a list, hit a button, and let chance settle it — whether that’s what to eat, which task to tackle first, or a simple yes/no call. It runs entirely in your browser.

Fair, unbiased picks

Choices are made with your browser’s cryptographically secure random generator (crypto.getRandomValues), so every option has an exactly equal chance. There’s no weighting toward the first or last item.

Three modes

Decide for me — picks one item from your pasted list.
Yes / No — answers a binary question instantly.
Magic 8-ball — picks from Yes, No, Maybe, Ask again later for a playful verdict.

There’s a known trick to this: when the tool gives you an answer and you feel a flash of disappointment, that’s your real preference showing — sometimes a random pick just helps you notice it. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your options are never uploaded.
