The fairest pick on the internet
Cryptographically secure
Most web randomizers use Math.random() — a predictable algorithm. SoChoosey uses crypto.getRandomValues(), the same standard behind TLS certificates and password managers. Every item always has exactly equal probability.
Verifiable results
After every spin, click "Verify this result" to see the 32-byte random secret and its SHA-256 commitment hash. The hash was computed before the spin — mathematical proof the winner was locked in ahead of time.
Private by design
Your lists never leave your device. Everything is stored in your browser's local storage. No account, no sign-up, no tracking of what you pick or who wins.
