Decision Maker
Reckonersweight 1reckoner · computes, doesn't store
Some decisions deserve a spreadsheet. The rest — which film, whose turn, pizza or curry — deserve a coin with more than two sides. The Decision Maker takes your options and picks one, fair and square, with no memory of past verdicts and no favourites. Democracy for households, at last free of debate.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
How does the Decision Maker choose?
You give it the options, it picks one at random, and you all agree in advance to abide by the result. The abiding is the hard part; the picking is instant.
Is the random pick truly private and offline?
Yes — the whole thing is one HTML file running in your browser, offline. It computes the pick right there, stores nothing, and nothing leaves the page. Not even the pizza-versus-curry deliberations.
When is a random decision maker actually useful?
Whenever the options are close enough that arguing costs more than either outcome: choosing a restaurant, assigning a chore, picking who goes first. If you feel disappointed by the result, that is also an answer.
