Yes or No Picker

How to use the Yes or No Picker

1. Type your question in the box. It's optional; it just helps you remember what each answer was for.
2. Tick Include “Maybe” if you want a third possible answer.
3. Click Ask or press Enter. The answer appears after a short shake.
4. Check the tally and history to see how the answers have fallen so far.
5. Use Clear to wipe the history and counts.

How it works

The answer is picked by your browser's cryptographic random number generator, with each option given an exactly equal share. With two options, Yes and No are each 50%. With Maybe turned on, each of the three is 1 in 3. The question you type is not read or analyzed in any way; it has no effect on the answer.

That makes the picker a digital coin toss with nicer labels. It's handy for breaking a tie between two options you genuinely don't mind either way, choosing who goes first, or adding a little suspense to a game night.

A surprising use: notice how you feel when the answer appears. If you're relieved or disappointed, that reaction can tell you what you actually wanted. Worked example: ask "Should we watch the comedy?" If "No" makes you groan, pick the comedy anyway.

Frequently asked questions

Does the tool understand my question?
No. The question is only displayed back to you and saved in this page's history. The answer is purely random.

Is it really 50/50?
Yes. Each answer has an equal chance, picked with an unbiased cryptographic random method. With Maybe turned on, each of the three answers has a one-in-three chance.

Can I ask the same question twice?
Of course, but you may get a different answer, because every ask is a fresh, independent pick.

Should I use it for important decisions?
No. It's meant for fun and small, low-stakes choices. For decisions about health, money, legal matters or safety, get information and advice from a qualified person.

Are my questions saved?
No. Questions stay in this page only while it is open and are never uploaded.
