About YesNoWheelApp
YesNoWheelApp is a small, independent site with 28 browser-based tools for three kinds of moments: making a call with odds you choose, getting a quick yes or no when you are stuck, and keeping a game night moving. It is built and run by one person — me.
What is here
- Odds you set yourself. The Percentage Spinner and Weighted Decision Wheel let you give each outcome its own chance — for giveaways, classroom probability demos, or a decision where you already lean one way. These are the tools people use most.
- Quick yes/no calls. The Yes No Wheel, Yes or No Dice (with Best of 3 and Best of 5) and Coin Flip, plus calculators for decisions you would rather reason through, like the Weighted Decision Matrix.
- Party games with real prompt decks. Truth or Dare, Would You Rather, Never Have I Ever and This or That each ship with their own categorized prompts and draw without repeats.
- List tools for picking names, drawing raffle winners, splitting teams and rotating chores, and 8 articles — mostly question lists that pair with the games.
Everything is listed on the Tools page.
Who builds it
One founder, no team and no ghostwriters. I write the code for every tool myself, with AI coding assistance, and you can check that part: no tool on this site is a third-party widget or embed. I publish under the site name rather than my own; instead of asking you to trust a credential, the site tries to make everything it says checkable — how the randomness works, what is stored, and how errors get fixed.
Articles are drafted with AI assistance and then edited and checked by me before they go live; the AI Content Policy describes exactly how. The blog is deliberately small: in October 2026 I removed 27 articles and 7 tools that were not useful enough to keep, and redirected their URLs to the closest page that is (details in the Editorial Policy).
What the tools can and cannot do
Every result comes from the browser's Math.random(). That is fine for games, giveaways among friends and everyday, low-stakes choices. It is not a cryptographically secure or independently audited generator, so it should not decide anything with legal, financial or medical consequences, or a regulated prize draw. Randomness and Fairness explains the implementation, and How It Works is the plainer version.
A wheel also cannot know your situation. When people use one for a real decision, the useful part is usually noticing whether they feel relieved or disappointed by the result — the final call stays with you.
Your data
What you type into a tool — options, names, questions — is processed in your browser and is not sent to my servers. Some tools keep a short history in your browser's local storage, which you can clear at any time. The site uses Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics for anonymous usage statistics, and Google AdSense for advertising, with a consent banner in regions that require one. The Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy list exactly what each one does.
How the site is funded
The tools are free and need no account. The site is paid for by advertising: ads are labeled, kept outside the tool area, never see what you type, and have no influence on any result.
Recent updates
What changed on the site lately, newest first.
- October 2026 — odds tools. The Percentage Spinner and Weighted Decision Wheel can now take a pasted list or a .csv file, remove each winner for prize draws (with a winners list you can export), count your real spins against the expected odds, work out the chance of an outcome landing at least once in a number of spins, and keep up to 20 named wheels in your browser. Share links now carry up to 40 options.
- October 2026 — yes/no tools. The Yes No Wheel gained Best of 3 / Best of 5, your own labels for the two halves and a session count. The Coin Flip gained custom labels, streak stats and up to 1,000 flips at once. Yes or No Dice now counts each face per session.
- October 2026 — housekeeping. 27 articles and 7 tools that weren't useful enough were removed and redirected; this page, the FAQ and the cookie policy were rewritten to match what the site actually does; wheel labels no longer render upside down; List Randomizer and Random Pair Generator open with a sample list so they work on the first click.
- September 2026. Tool pages were rebuilt around worked examples taken from each tool's own settings, and the party games got full prompt decks with categories and no-repeat draws.
Corrections and contact
If something on the site is wrong — a fact in an article, a tool that does not do what its page says — tell me. I aim to look into a reported error within 24 hours and publish a confirmed fix within 48 hours (see the Corrections Policy). Messages through the Contact page usually get a reply within 48 hours on business days.
