Spin first. Decide fast. No setup. Decide Now! Lite is a taste of the original decision wheel: 11 ready-made wheels, zero setup. Open the app, pick a wheel, spin — the argument is over before it starts. WHAT'S ON THE WHEELS • Where should we eat? — the classic • What to watch, who goes first, chore roulette • Random names for class, games and giveaways • Yes or no, for when you just need a push • Workouts, desserts, date nights and more THE HONEST PART (READ THIS BIT) Lite comes with ready-made wheels only. You can spin them, narrow them down and enjoy them — but you can't edit them or create your own. Building custom wheels with your own options is what the full app, Decide Now!, is for. If you install Lite expecting a wheel editor, you'll be grumpy, and we'd rather you weren't. Think of Lite as the test drive: same wheel, same spin, same "the wheel has spoken" moment — with the keys to the factory in the full app. WHAT YOU GET • All the preset wheels, ready in seconds • Not feeling an option? Hide it and spin again — nothing gets deleted • Shake to spin • Color themes, dark mode included • Works completely offline • No ads, no account, no sign-up LIKE IT? GO FULL The full app adds unlimited custom wheels, unlimited options, list import straight from your clipboard, plus export and backup. Still no ads, still no account — on the App Store since 2010. Spin the demo. Keep the habit.
