Tap the wheel, flick it, or press Ctrl + Enter
Large list: edit it in Text view.
Tip: add *3 after an entry to triple its chance, or a colour like #16A34A to colour its slice.

Eat-the-rainbow challenge for kids
Load the Fruits or Vegetables preset and let children spin for one new item to try this week. Spinning makes it their “choice”, which many parents find helps with picky eating.
Want food + drink + place together? Try the combo wheel.
How to stop arguing about food
- Agree on the shortlist: each person adds two options they would genuinely enjoy.
- Weigh fairly: if someone chose last time, give their options normal weight and others
*2. - One spin rule: whatever comes up, you eat, or allow one veto per person.
Healthy eating ideas
Health organisations recommend filling about half your plate with vegetables and fruit. Use the Vegetables preset to pick tonight’s side dish, or the Fruits preset for a snack, kids often enjoy trying the item “the wheel chose”.
Drinks without alcohol
The Drinks preset includes water, lemonade, iced tea, smoothies and hot drinks, ideal for cafés, parties with children and anyone avoiding alcohol.
Restaurant night
Replace the entries with restaurants near you, save the wheel as “Takeaway” and you will never scroll delivery apps for 30 minutes again.
