Wheely

Nobody argues with the wheel.

Someone has to pick. Pick wrong and it is favouritism, pick right and it is still your fault. So do not pick. Spin, in front of everyone, and let that be the end of it.

Your wheel: a spinning wheel with 5 slices. Ava, Ben, Chloe, Dev, Elif. Every slice has an equal chance.
  • Ava
  • Ben
  • Chloe
  • Dev
  • Elif

Tap the wheel to spin. Drag it if you want to throw it.

Commas work too. Up to 5 names here; a free account holds your whole list.

Keep this wheel

Saving needs a free account. Free wheels hold 10 names, Pro holds 10,000.

Who ends up using it

  • Teachers

    Cold-call without the favouritism. Every name has the same chance, the class watches it happen, and being picked stops feeling personal.

    Free wheels hold 10 names. A full class list is Pro.

  • Streamers and creators

    Draw a giveaway winner while chat watches the spin. No screenshot of a spreadsheet, no asking anyone to take your word for it.

    Free wheels hold 10 entries. A real giveaway is Pro.

  • Parents

    Whose turn, which chore, what is for dinner. Stop refereeing, stop keeping score, and let something other than you be the bad guy.

    Most family lists fit the free plan comfortably.

  • Teams

    Standup order, who presents, who picks the retro topic. Small decisions that are still somebody's call every single time.

    Shared team wheels are Pro, up to 10 people.

How it works

  1. Paste a list

    Names, chores, prizes, anything. One per line, or commas if that is how you have it.

  2. Spin it where people can see

    On a phone, on a laptop, or passed around the room. Tap it, or drag to throw it.

  3. Share the link

    Anyone can open it and spin. They do not need an account, and neither did you to get this far.

What you get

  • Weighted slices

    Give an entry more weight and it takes up more of the wheel. The odds match what you can see, which is the only fairness claim worth making.

  • Elimination mode

    Take each winner off the wheel as it comes up, so you can work through a whole list without picking anybody twice.

  • Draws for several winners

    Pick a target number, spin until you have them, and the winner list is saved so you can post it afterwards.

  • Present mode

    Fill the screen with just the wheel, for a projector, a shared screen or a stream. Escape brings the page back.

  • Put it on your own page

    Copy an iframe for any wheel that is not private. Visitors spin it where they already are, no account needed.

  • Every spin, recorded

    What landed, when, and from where. Export it as CSV, with an honest read on whether a wheel is behaving.

  • Import a big listPro

    Bring a spreadsheet in and map the columns. Up to 10,000 entries on one wheel, still smooth.

  • Pictures in the slicesPro

    Put an image on any slice. Prizes, faces, products, whatever it is you are picking between.

What it costs

The free plan is a whole product rather than a trial, and it is also genuinely small. Pro is where class lists, real giveaways and teams live.

Questions people actually ask

  • Is it actually random?

    The wheel runs a friction simulation in your browser, and each entry's share of the wheel is exactly its weight, so a slice twice the size comes up about twice as often. What makes it fair in the room is that everybody watches the same spin. We do not claim a cryptographic proof, because we do not have one.

  • Do people need an account to spin my wheel?

    No. Share the link and anyone can open it and spin it. An account is only needed to save a wheel, because a saved wheel belongs to you.

  • How many names can I put on one wheel?

    10 on the free plan, and up to 10,000 on Pro. The wheel above draws 5 of them, enough to watch it spin on your own names before deciding anything.

  • Is the free plan a trial?

    No. It does not expire and it does not ask for a card. It is genuinely small: 3 wheels, 10 entries each, 1 of them public at a time.

  • What happens if I stop paying for Pro?

    Your wheels stay. Anything over the free limits is locked until it fits again, including pictures on the slices, so a wheel still carrying images cannot be saved until they come off. The editor keeps the remove button and says so.

  • Can I put it on a projector or on my stream?

    Yes. Present mode fills the screen with the wheel, the title and the result, and takes everything else away; Escape brings the page back. For a stream, any wheel that is not private also has an overlay link with a transparent background, so in OBS the wheel sits over your scene as a layer instead of a window you capture.

  • Can I put a wheel on my own site?

    Yes, any wheel that is not private. The sharing panel gives you an iframe to paste in, and anyone who sees it can spin it without an account. Those spins are recorded and show up in the wheel's history marked as embedded.

  • Do I have to build a wheel from scratch?

    No. 65 wheels are built in, from chores and dinner to raffle tickets and a hundred numbers, ready to copy and make your own with a free account. A few of them are spinnable on the demo page without one.

Stop being the one who decided.

Build a wheel from a list you already have, spin it where people can watch, and share it with a link that works on any phone or screen.
