The Picking Machine

About this app

Can’t decide? Make a list and let the columns pick.

The Picking Machine is a random picker with a slot-machine style animation. Add your options, tap, and watch the columns settle on one item. A fun alternative to a random wheel or spinner, for the everyday choices you keep putting off.

Use it when you cannot choose dinner, takeaway, who goes first, what to watch, a film genre, a day out, a weekend plan, or even yes or no. Starter lists are included, or make your own.

How a pick works:
Add the options. Tap. The columns spin and land on one item. After a pick you can take that item out so the next spin is only from what is left — useful for “who’s next”, board-game night, or working through a list without repeats. Reset the list when you want a fresh start.

Your lists, your rules:
• Create as many lists as you like
• Add, edit, reorder, and turn items on or off
• Import a list of names if you already have them written down
• Give each list its own look: fonts, colours, fruit or animal icons, and animation speed

Built for everyday decisions:
It is a decision maker you can hand around the table: what to eat, where to go, who starts, what to play, holiday destination, or a simple yes/no. No wheel to squint at — just the columns, spinning like a fruit machine.

Private by design:
Works fully offline. No account, no ads, no tracking. Your lists stay on your device.
