How It Stays Fair
The tool uses a Fisher-Yates shuffle with your browser’s random number generator. This is the standard algorithm for unbiased shuffling, so every option has exactly the same chance of being selected — there is no hidden weighting and no bias toward the top of your list.

Why Random Decisions Help
Sometimes the hardest part of a choice is not the options — it is the deciding. Offloading a low-stakes decision to a random picker frees up mental energy and ends pointless debates. And there is a clever trick: when the tool reveals its pick, notice your gut reaction. If you feel disappointed, that tells you what you actually wanted. Either way, you get unstuck fast.
Everything runs privately in your browser, so use it for anything from dinner plans to settling a friendly bet.
