Fair, private, and built for repeat use
PickForMe behaves more like a lightweight decision workspace than a one-off animation. It works well for classrooms, raffles, teams, and everyday decisions that happen again and again.
Crypto random source
Results use the browser crypto random source where available instead of relying on plain Math.random.
Lists stay local
Reusable lists and history are stored in this browser. No account is required for the core workflow.
Weights and no-repeat rounds
Use text like Pizza | 3 for preferences, or enable elimination mode when results should not repeat.
Share and embed
Copy tool links, share configured lists, or embed a picker inside another page.
Copy-ready list templates
Start from the version closest to your job, then replace the entries with the real options. One line equals one option; entries with | 2 get extra chances.
