Pick from any list
The random item generator takes whatever list you give it: names, tasks, dinner ideas, book titles, prompts. Put one item on each line, press the button, and one is chosen at random. Every line has the same chance, no matter how long the list is.
Need more than one? Set how many items to pick. With Do not repeat on, every pick is different, so you can build a random shortlist or a random order. Three starter lists, Dinner, Activities and Decisions, help you try it right away.

Is it fair and private?
Every result on SpinPicker is picked at random by your own browser, and every number or entry has exactly the same chance. Nothing is sent to a server, so nobody else can see or change your result.
