About PickerSpin

PickerSpin builds small tools that make one decision each, quickly and fairly. No signup, no paywall, no dark patterns — just a wheel that spins straight.

What this site is

A set of free browser tools for picking something at random: a wheel spinner and name picker, a 3D dice roller, a 75-ball bingo caller, a 90-ball Tambola and Housie caller, a team generator, a coin flip, and comment pickers for YouTube and Instagram giveaways. Everything runs in the browser with nothing to install. There are also free iPhone and Android apps for the wheel.

Most people arrive for one job — drawing a student in class, splitting a group into teams, or picking a giveaway winner — and the tools are built for that rather than for a workflow you have to learn.

How the randomness works, and how to check it

Every draw uses crypto.getRandomValues(), the browser's own cryptographically secure random number generator. The result is decided before the animation starts, so the wheel cannot land somewhere the draw did not already choose. That ordering matters: an animation that picks the winner as it slows down is an animation that can be nudged.

You do not have to take that on trust. The fairness page runs up to 100,000 simulated spins in your own browser and reports a chi-squared goodness-of-fit result, so you can check the distribution yourself rather than believing a claim on a marketing page.

No ads, and what that means for your data

The website carries no ads and no advertising identifier. Usage analytics are anonymous, and Live Spin — the feature that lets several people watch the same spin — is opt-in rather than on by default. Entries you type into a wheel are not part of an account, because there are no accounts. The privacy policy is short and states the same thing in full.

Who it is for

  • Teachers, who need a fair pick in front of thirty people who will notice if it is not — see the teacher tools
  • Creators running giveaways, who need a draw that entrants will accept as legitimate
  • Anyone splitting a group, hosting a game night, or ending a dinner argument

If something is broken or a tool is missing an obvious option, the blog and the tools themselves are where changes show up first.
