Spin Wheel: Random Name Picker Can't decide? Make a decision wheel, add your choices and spin. Pick a name, choose dinner, share chores or settle the next turn in a game. Start with a ready-made wheel or paste your own list. This wheel spinner and random name picker keeps everyday choices quick and helps hosts organize a whole session. MAKE IT YOUR WHEEL Create a wheel with 2 to 60 entries. Type names, numbers or activities, or paste one entry per line. Colors are assigned automatically. Edit a saved wheel without rebuilding its list, then return directly to the wheel you last used. Ready-made choices include Yes or No, dinner, Truth or Dare and chores. Tap the spin button or flick the wheel. Watch it slow down and reveal the chosen entry, with sound, haptics and recent results. Sound and reduced-motion settings let you choose a quieter experience. PERSONAL: MORE ROOM FOR YOUR CHOICES Personal adds unlimited spins and saved wheels. Keep everyday wheels as favorites, duplicate a useful setup and add your own colors and photos. Set entry weights when choices should have different chances: a weight of 2 has twice the chance of a weight of 1, and the wedge shows its share. Remove-winner mode keeps chosen entries out between spins until you reset the round. Close the app and return later without losing that progress. Saved weights keep their intended chances when you reopen a wheel. HOST: REUSABLE PEOPLE AND SAVED SESSIONS Host includes Personal and tools for classes, teams and local prize draws. Paste names or choose a CSV file to build a reusable roster of up to 1,000 participants. Check the import before saving. If names repeat, choose whether they represent separate people or should be combined. Reuse the roster next time instead of typing it again. In a classroom session, mark absences and draw from those present. Each person gets a turn before the next round. Undo the last draw when needed. Create balanced teams or random pairs; with an odd number of people, one person remains on their own. Saved groups stay with the session. For a raffle or giveaway, arrange prizes in order, set quantities and choose who may win again: once per person, once per prize type or on every draw. The app saves each result before the wheel spins. Resume after closing the app, edit future prize details and keep the original names in past results. A CLEAR DISPLAY FOR THE ROOM Use presentation mode for a larger winner display with your logo, accent color and chosen sound. Save a presentation setup for another class or event. All participants and controls stay on the host's device; this is a local session with no audience sign-up or remote voting. RESULTS YOU CAN KEEP Review names, prizes, rounds and dates. Export participant lists, results and groups as CSV. Host also includes printable reports with a PDF option. Export a portable backup of wheels, rosters, sessions, pictures and results, then restore it on another device. Keep all numbered files together when a large backup has several parts. CHOOSE THE ACCESS THAT FITS Free includes one saved wheel and 3 spins per day. Personal is a lifetime purchase. Host is available monthly, yearly or as a lifetime purchase, with no free trial. Original lifetime purchases include the full offline expansion. Buying a lifetime tier does not automatically cancel an existing subscription or provide a credit. Saved records remain readable and recoverable if paid access ends. Your lists, pictures and results stay on your device. No account or cloud sync is required. Purchases and restoring store purchases need a connection. Back up your data before changing devices or erasing local storage.
