Can't decide what's for dinner? Which movie to watch? Whose turn it is to do the dishes? Stop debating. Spin-n-Decide turns every tough call into a satisfying spin of a colorful wheel. WHY SPIN-N-DECIDE Most "decision" apps make you type out every option, every time. Spin-n-Decide builds the wheel for you — from a template, from your saved list, or from real places nearby. Then it remembers what you picked, so dinner debates and movie nights stop looping forever. BUILD A WHEEL IN SECONDS • Type 3 to 12 of your own choices, one at a time • Start from a built-in template — chores, fruits, sports, weekday picks, and more • Auto-fill from real places: restaurants, cafés, cinemas, or shopping • Toggle "Include fast food" when you want every option on the table • Reorder, recolor, and rename slices any time NEARBY MODE — POWERED BY OPENSTREETMAP • Use your current location, or any zip code • Adjust the search radius from a quarter mile to 25 miles • Pick your favorites from a curated list of nearby places • The wheel is auto-named with the location ("Restaurants Near 94103") • Tap a saved spin to open the place in Apple Maps A SATISFYING SPIN • Smooth, weighted-physics wheel animation • Bright color palette — every slice stands out • Big, readable result card after every spin HISTORY THAT ACTUALLY HELPS • Every spin is saved automatically to History • Browse past picks in a clean Calendar view • Re-open any place in Maps with one tap • Delete entries you don't want to keep SHARE WHEELS WITH FRIENDS • Encode any wheel into a single deep link • Send it via Messages, Mail, AirDrop — anywhere a link works • Recipients open the link to import the wheel directly PRIVACY, BY DEFAULT • 100% on-device storage using Apple's SwiftData • No accounts, no sign-in, no cloud sync we can see • No analytics SDKs, no trackers, no advertising identifiers • Location is requested once per nearby search and never stored • Postal codes resolve through Apple's on-device geocoder PERFECT FOR • Couples and roommates picking dinner • Families settling chore rotations • Friend groups choosing the next movie or bar • Teachers and parents running classroom decisions • Anyone tired of "I don't care, you pick" Stop arguing. Start spinning. Let the wheel decide.
