Random Picker

Type any list of options (tasks, meals, movies, cities, ideas...) and let chance pick one or several for you — for when there's just no way to decide.

Local processing: your data is processed in your browser and never sent to Numelto or any external service.

Everything happens in your browser — Numelto never stores your list or the result.

How to use the random picker

Type each option on its own line, set how many you want picked, and click "Pick randomly". It works with any kind of list — it's not built just for people's names.

Use cases

A few common examples:

  • Decide what movie to watch or what to cook when nobody can agree.
  • Pick a random task from a to-do list.
  • Draw a travel destination among several options.
  • Any decision with several equally valid alternatives.

How is this different from the name picker?

Same engine, but this tool is built for any kind of list (not just people) — if you specifically want to draw among people's names, use the random name picker, which has its own options like avoiding duplicates.

Privacy

The list you type and the result never leave your browser: they're not sent to Numelto, not logged, and not stored anywhere.
