Decision Compass
Your options
One per line — up to 12. A leading emoji shows on the compass. The needle lands on one at random.
Can't decide? Let the needle break the tie
Some choices don't deserve the agony they get. Pizza or tacos. This chore or that one. Which movie, whose turn, where to go. When every option is fine and you still can't move, you don't need more analysis — you need a nudge. Add your choices to the compass, tap Decide, and the needle spins wild, wavers, and locks onto one. Fair, fast, and final.
Deadlocks the compass is made for
| The deadlock | What to put on the compass |
|---|---|
| What's for dinner | Pizza · Tacos · Sushi · Pasta · Salad · Ramen |
| Which task first | Your top three or four to-dos |
| Who goes first | Everyone's names |
| Movie night | The shortlist you can't agree on |
| Where to go | The places you keep circling back to |
| Settle an argument | The two or three options on the table |
Add a leading emoji to any option — 🍕 Pizza — and it rides along on the compass. Up to twelve options fit around the face; beyond that, reach for a picker built for long lists.
How to decide in three taps
1 · Add your options
Type them into the box, one per line. Keep the example list or clear it and add your own — dinners, chores, names, anything you're torn between.
2 · Tap Decide
The needle spins fast, hunts around the face, and settles on one with a magnetic wobble. The chosen option glows and the answer rises below.
3 · Commit — or gut-check
If the answer lands and you feel relief, go with it. If your gut says "ugh, no," that reaction is your answer — pick again and take the one you were quietly hoping for.
Make it a ritual
Turn on sound and confetti for game night, or keep it quiet for a solo call. Either way, the compass ends the debate so you can move on.
Why a compass, not another spinning wheel
A compass is what you reach for when you're lost — which is exactly how indecision feels. Rather than a pointer snapping to a word on a ring, the needle spins with genuine jeopardy and settles like a magnet finding north, then hands you the answer as a card. The winner is drawn up front with cryptographic randomness, so it's perfectly fair; the wild needle is just what makes the moment land. Need a straight two-way call? The Yes or No Wheel is quicker. Picking from a long list of names or items? Try the Random Picker or Wheel of Names.

crypto.getRandomValues() before the needle even moves, so every option has an exactly equal chance and each spin is independent. The wild needle is just for the drama.
