How to use the random day wheel
A seven-slice wheel for the moments a rota needs a tie-breaker: who takes which day, when the recurring meeting lands, which evening is the one nobody schedules anything on.
Spin
Click the wheel or press Space. Seven equal slices — delete the weekend lines if you only want working days.
Read the result
The winning slice is chosen with the browser’s cryptographic random number generator before the animation starts, so the spin plays out a decision that has already been made fairly.
Edit, share, or project it
The list stays editable — add, remove, or reorder lines and the wheel redraws. Copy the share link to send your version to someone else, or go fullscreen so the wheel is readable across a room.
About this tool
Rotas break down when someone believes they were assigned the bad day on purpose. A visible random draw is the cheapest fix — everyone watches the same spin, and there is nothing to appeal against.
For chores at home, spin at the start of the month and write the result on the fridge. The wheel’s real job is not the randomness; it is that the decision is made once and stops being reopened.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I get weekdays only?
- Delete Saturday and Sunday from the list. Five slices, each a 20% chance.
- Can I assign one day per person?
- Tick “remove the winner after each spin” and spin once per person. Nobody can be given the same day twice.
- Can I weight one day more heavily?
- List it more than once. Two lines of Friday against one of each other day makes Friday twice as likely.
