All Other Tools — everything that did not fit a section

Small tools that do not fit the other sections but get used every day.

Everything that didn't fit under clocks and calendars lives here. The most used is the random number generator — for dice rolls, raffles and deciding who goes first — alongside name pickers, spinning wheels and counters.

How to use All other tools

Each tool on this page opens instantly and needs no account. The quickest tour: Numbers — draw a random integer between any two limits you set; the classic 1-to-100 draw is one click. Names — paste a list of entrants and let the random name generator pull a winner for a giveaway.

Wheel — put your options on a spinning wheel when the decision deserves a little theatre. Digits — generate a four digit code or a longer string of digits when you need one on the spot.

What a random number generator is good for

Anything where fairness matters more than the outcome: picking a raffle winner in front of the entrants, splitting a group into teams nobody chose, deciding who presents first, settling which restaurant wins the argument. The value is not the number itself — it is that no one picked it, so no one can be accused of picking it.

One honest note: like Google's built-in dice and Python's random module, these tools produce pseudo-random numbers — a deterministic sequence that behaves randomly for every everyday purpose. For games, draws and decisions that is exactly what you want. For passwords and cryptographic keys, use tools built for secrets instead.

Ask a human for a random number and you'll get 7 or 37. Ask a machine and you'll get something you would never have picked — which is exactly the point.

Fair draws without arguments

A few habits make a draw feel as fair as it is. Announce the range or the list before you click, not after. Do the draw where the participants can see the screen. If you are picking several winners, draw without repeats so one lucky entry cannot sweep the prizes. And save or screenshot the result immediately — the moment a winner is contested is the wrong moment to reconstruct history.

Names, wheels and giveaways

Numbers are only half the job. A random name generator draws a winner from a list you paste in, which is how most small giveaways are settled: number the entries, generate once, announce. The wheel is the same idea with theatre added — the audience watches the pick happen spin by spin, and a draw people can watch is a draw people trust.

Ask a person for a random number and oddly often you will hear 7 or 37 — humans season their number soup with favourites. Machines have no lucky digit, which is precisely why we ask them.

Questions and answers

Can the same number come up twice?
Yes — independent draws can repeat, just like real dice. If repeats would spoil your draw, use the without-repeats mode and each value can appear only once.
Is it truly random?
It is pseudo-random: generated by an algorithm, unpredictable in practice, and fair for games, raffles and decisions. It is not suitable for generating cryptographic secrets, and does not pretend to be.
Can I draw several winners at once?
Yes. Set how many you need and draw them in one go — the order they appear in is the order they were drawn, which is handy when first place gets the bigger prize.
