Privacy details

Random choice generator processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Saved tools store only their names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. An optional “Use in” action keeps a handoff in this tab. The next tool removes it on arrival and ignores it if more than a minute has passed.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

One option per line; optional | weight

Your result

Reset reloads the tool with its starting values and releases open files and device controls. Saved drafts stay on this device until you delete them.

Links include your inputs and settings. Anyone with the link can see them, so leave out private text. Files and generated results are left out; random draws run again.

Make the chances match your decision

Write one option per line. For weighted choices, add a vertical bar and a whole-number weight: Walk | 3. A weight of 3 gives that option three times the chance of an option with weight 1. Duplicate lines keep their combined weight.

A worked example

Walk | 3 and Read | 1 give Walk three of four equal chances. A new choice can repeat the previous result.

Next: List randomizer

Before you use the result

Weights are relative chances, not predictions. This tool draws one option with replacement. For drawing every entry once, use the name picker or list randomizer. Supply your own movie, food or game choices; no catalog is implied.
