Read full description

Generate fair random numbers with three distinct algorithms — each tuned for a different kind of randomness. • True Random — every number has equal chance every time. Great for raffles, lotteries, fair picks, and any moment you need an unbiased result. • Shuffled Deck — every number in your range is drawn exactly once before any repeats. Perfect for prize draws, picking winners without duplicates, classroom name pickers, and dealing cards. • Bell Curve — results cluster near the middle of your range following a normal distribution. Useful for dice-style mechanics, statistics teaching, and any scenario where extreme values should be rare. Features • Set any min/max range • View the history of generated numbers • Clean, fast SwiftUI interface built for iPhone Use cases • Roll dice for board games and tabletop RPGs (D&D, d20, custom dice) • Draw winners for raffles, contests, and giveaways • Pick a name from a list of students, teammates, or friends • Flip a coin or make a quick 50/50 decision • Generate lucky-style numbers (not affiliated with any official lottery) • Teach probability and statistics with three distributions side by side

Random's advantage is ratings volume (85 vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
