Decision Maker

How It Works

When every option looks equally good, thinking harder rarely helps — a random pick breaks the deadlock in a second. This tool lists your options, then chooses one with your browser's secure random source, crypto.getRandomValues(). If you give options weights, the pick is weighted: an option with weight 3 is three times as likely to win as one with weight 1, so your preferences still matter without you having to decide.

There is a bonus trick hidden in a random decision: the moment the result appears, you will often feel a flash of relief — or disappointment. That feeling is information. If you are disappointed, you already knew what you wanted; the tool just helped you notice.

Worked Example

Two friends cannot agree on dinner. They enter "Pizza:3", "Sushi:1" and "Burgers:1" — pizza is the favorite, but the others are still in the running. The total weight is 5, so pizza has a 60% chance, sushi 20% and burgers 20%. One click picked Pizza. If they had used the Yes or No button instead, the tool would have answered a straight question like "Should we order out tonight?" with a fair 50/50 Yes or No.

How to Use This Tool

Type your options, one per line, and add a weight after a colon if you want to favor one — "Pizza:3" is three times as likely as a plain option. Click Pick for Me and the chosen option appears with its chance of winning. For a simple yes-or-no question, click Yes or No? instead — no list needed.

Tips and Practical Advice

Use weights honestly: if you secretly want one option, give it a bigger weight instead of pretending all options are equal — the result will feel right more often. For group decisions, let everyone add one option each so nobody feels left out. And if the result disappoints you, treat that as your real answer and go with what you actually wanted; the tool's job was to help you find it, not to overrule you.
