Our Mission

SelectAWheel exists to make everyday decisions fair, fast, and transparent. Whether you're a teacher calling on a student, a streamer running a giveaway, or a family settling the "where should we eat?" debate — a good random picker should be free, private, and genuinely random.

We built SelectAWheel because the alternatives didn't feel right. Some require accounts. Some store your data on their servers. Some drown the page in ads. None of them let you just spin a wheel and get on with your day.

So we made the tool we wished existed: fast, quiet, and honest about how it works. No accounts. No cloud storage. No surprises.

Our Principles

🎯 Genuinely random

We use crypto.getRandomValues() — the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator — instead of the weaker Math.random() used by most tools.

🔒 Private by default

Your entries never leave your browser. There is no backend, no database, and no server-side copy of your lists — ever.

⚡ Fast everywhere

Pure HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. No frameworks, no build step, no trackers. It loads instantly and works offline after the first visit.

💸 Free forever

Every feature is unlocked from the start: weighted entries, multi-wheel tabs, custom logos, CSV import, spin history. No premium tier.

How We're Different

  • No signup, ever. Some tools nudge you toward an account the moment you want to save a wheel. We never ask. Your list saves automatically in your browser as you type.
  • Cryptographically secure randomness. Same standard used by banking and security software — so every spin is truly unpredictable.
  • Instant and lightweight. Static files, browser-only execution, no external dependencies. Load times under one second on any device.
  • US-focused by design. Built with American classrooms, teams, streamers, and event hosts in mind — including FERPA-friendly local storage for student rosters.

Built For

🎓 Teachers

Randomly call on students for questions, presentations, and group work. Store separate rosters per class period without student data ever leaving your device.

🎥 Streamers

Run fair viewer giveaways on Twitch, YouTube, or Kick. Add the wheel as an OBS browser source and reward subscribers with weighted bonus entries.

💼 Teams

Randomize who speaks first in standups, who takes meeting notes, or who presents next — no more awkward volunteer silence.

🍽️ Families

End the "what should we eat?" debate in under ten seconds. Add restaurants, cuisines, or meals and let the wheel choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SelectAWheel really free?

Yes. Every feature is available to every user with no signup, no paywall, and no usage limits. The site is supported by minimal, non-intrusive advertising.

Do you store my data?

No. Your entries, spin history, custom logos, and settings all live in your browser's local storage. They never touch our servers — because there are no servers.

How is this different from Wheel of Names?

Both tools use cryptographically secure randomness. The main differences are privacy and signup requirements — we never require an account and never store your lists in the cloud. See our full Wheel of Names alternative comparison for details.

Who runs SelectAWheel?

SelectAWheel is an independent project built by a small team of web developers in the United States. We're not a company with investors or a growth plan — just a tool we wanted to exist.
