Decision Maker
Pick randomly between two or more options when your analysis is going in circles. One click, one answer.
Decision Maker — A tool for breaking analysis-paralysis on decisions where the options are roughly equal. Type two or more options, one per line, and the tool picks one with a fair random draw. The result cycles through the options briefly to show that the choice is not predetermined, then lands on a final answer.
Your options and the chosen answer are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.

What is decision maker?
A tool for breaking analysis-paralysis on decisions where the options are roughly equal. Type two or more options, one per line, and the tool picks one with a fair random draw. The result cycles through the options briefly to show that the choice is not predetermined, then lands on a final answer.
This is a tiebreaker, not a substitute for judgment. If one option is clearly better, pick that one. The tool is for the cases where the analysis is going in circles and the answer does not actually matter — what to eat, which color to pick, which book to read next.
How to use it
-
Type your options
One option per line. Two minimum.
-
Click "Decide for me"
The tool cycles through the options briefly, then lands on a final answer.
-
Use the answer (or roll again)
If the answer does not feel right, click again. The draw is independent each time.
Examples
Where to eat
You cannot decide between three restaurants.
Pizza Sushi Tacos
Result: A random pick. If you do not like the answer, click again — eventually you will get a choice that feels right (or you will realize the analysis is the problem, not the options).
What to read next
You have three books on your nightstand.
The Pragmatic Programmer A Philosophy of Software Design The Mythical Man-Month
Result: One of the three, picked at random. The draw is fair, so over time you will not be biased toward any one book.
