What is the Random Picker?

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)

Input Options

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

Use Built-In Categories

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.

How the Randomization Works

Randly uses secure client-side logic to simulate randomness in a smooth, animated experience. When you hit &quotPick Random,&quot 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.

Pick Modes: Single or Multiple

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.

Who is this Tool For?

- 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!

What Makes Randly Different?

- 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
