We've all been there. It's Friday night, everyone's starving, and somehow picking a restaurant has turned into a 45-minute group debate. Nobody wants to be the one to decide. Nobody agrees. And by the time you do, half the table is already annoyed. That's exactly why Roulette exists. You open the app, hit spin, and a beautiful wheel takes over - pulling from real restaurants near you right now - and just picks one. Done. Let's go. Here's what you get: * A wheel that actually feels amazing to spin It slows down naturally, like it has real weight behind it, and your phone buzzes softly with every tick as it winds down. It sounds small but it genuinely makes the whole thing fun. * Real restaurants, right where you are We find what's actually nearby and open - not some outdated list. Use the slider to search your immediate block or cast a wider net across the whole area. * One tap to Apple Maps Love what the wheel picked? Tap "Let's Go" and you're handed straight to Maps with directions ready. No copying addresses, no switching apps. * A history tab that earns its keep Every visit gets logged - the restaurant, the date, who paid, notes, and a full expense breakdown if you like tracking what you spend on food. You can edit everything after the fact too. * Save your favorites Heart a restaurant on the result screen and it lives in your Favorites tab for whenever you want to revisit it. * Nothing leaves your phone No account to create. Everything - your history, favorites, and expenses - stays private on your device. FREE AND PREMIUM The free version gives you 3 spins a day, which covers most nights out just fine. You still get full history, favorites, expense tracking, and Maps navigation. If you find yourself reaching for the app constantly (and it does happen), Premium unlocks unlimited spins, full spend analytics, and early access to new features. It also supports an indie developer who built this out of genuine frustration with the "where do you want to eat" spiral.
