Randly's Random Picker (or Quick Picker) is a simple yet powerful tool designed to help you make fast, fair, and stress-free decisions. Whether you're trying to pick a meal, choose a student, break a tie, or shake up your routine, this guide explains how to make the most of Randly's decision tools.
Randly is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not responsible for decisions made based on outcomes from our tools.
At its core, the Random Picker lets you input any list of items—names, tasks, choices—and instantly choose one at random. It's ideal for: - Everyday decisions (what to eat, what to watch) - Group activities (who goes first, who leads) - Classroom or team situations (randomly call on a student or select tasks) - Creative prompts (random topics, colors, moods)
You can manually paste or type in a list of options, with each item on a new line. For example:
Sushi
Burger
Tacos
Salad
Pizza
Don't know what to type? Use one of Randly's built-in categories. These include: - Food - Colors - Tasks - Days of the Week - Languages - Countries - Moods - Animals - Games (Board, Card, Video) - Education (Subjects, Study methods, School tasks) Each category loads a predefined list that you can modify or use as-is.
Randly uses secure client-side logic to simulate randomness in a smooth, animated experience. When you hit "Pick Random," it: - Plays a spin-like animation - Highlights random selections over a few seconds - Stops on one final option This not only feels satisfying but ensures fairness and transparency.
While the core picker selects one option, future versions will support: - Multiple selections (e.g., pick 3 out of 10) - Group selectors (random teams or assignments) - Weighted selections (some options more likely than others) For now, you can re-use the picker for multiple rounds.
- Students: Pick presentation order, review topics, or study methods - Teachers: Randomly call on students or select classroom tasks - Teams: Choose meeting roles, icebreakers, or task rotation - Parents: Fairly decide which child gets to go first - Creatives: Generate prompts for writing, drawing, or brainstorming - Anyone who wants to avoid decision fatigue!
- No account needed - Private by design (no server-side storage) - Mobile-friendly and fast - Fully customizable with categories and manual input - Fun animations and accessible UX
- Keep lists short (5–15 items) for best visual experience - Use emojis or symbols to make items more fun - Save common lists in your notes to reuse - Use confetti mode for celebrations
