Kid-sized decisions · parent-approved options
Put the choices you can live with on the wheel, hand the decision to chance, and get everyone moving again. Another Grownup gives you a Coin Flip for two options and a Fair-ish Wheel for three or more.
Coming to iPhone as a one-time purchase. No account, ads, or subscription.
The tiny debate department
Which game? Who goes first? Park or library? Small choices can become large negotiations when every option has a passionate spokesperson.
The answer is not handing over every decision. It is choosing the boundaries first. You decide what is actually on the table; the app gives the final pick a little ceremony and somewhere else for the blame to land.
Pick the right amount of chance
Coin Flip · two choices
Use Coin Flip when the choice is binary: this book or that one, drawing or blocks, heads or tails. Assign one acceptable option to each side, flip, and move on. It feels more official than “because I said so” and requires less paperwork than a family election.
Fair-ish Wheel · three or more
Add the possibilities you have already approved, then give the wheel a spin. Dinner ideas, rainy-day activities, the next game, the first turn—whatever is taking longer to decide than to do. Chance makes the pick; the grownup still sets the boundaries.
How the handoff works
Start with options you can genuinely accept. If you are not prepared to make pancakes, pancakes do not go on the wheel. Boundaries happen before the spin, where they belong.
Two possibilities get a Coin Flip. Three or more get the Fair-ish Wheel. The app turns a plain answer into an event that feels visible, shared, and satisfyingly official.
Let the result stand when it can. If safety, timing, or common sense says otherwise, grownup judgment still wins. Another Grownup is backup for the decision-maker, not the boss of one.
Good things to leave to chance
The decision wheel works best for ordinary, low-stakes moments where every available answer is already okay with the grownup on duty.
Put the willing volunteers on the wheel and let the spin assign the opening act.
Choose the games you have the time, pieces, and patience for. The wheel handles the rest.
Park, library, backyard, or one other outing that is actually possible today.
A short list from the stack. One spin. One book. Bedtime continues its forward progress.
Fort, craft, baking, or movie. Every option is indoors and already has grownup clearance.
Add the people in the room instead of conducting another round of passionate lobbying.
Fair-ish, on purpose
“Fair-ish” starts before the wheel moves. Kids can help suggest the choices, but the grownup decides which ones are realistic. The app handles the ceremony; it does not hand over the household.
Keep chance for low-stakes decisions. Health, safety, discipline, and moments where a child's needs matter more than a random result still belong to a human being with context.
Before you put it to a vote
It is built around quick, visual, kid-sized choices instead of complicated settings or a general-purpose randomizer. The grownup chooses the eligible options, then everyone can watch chance make the final pick together.
No. It is for everyday choices where every option is safe and acceptable. It is not intended for contests, discipline, medical decisions, or anything that requires verified statistical randomness.
A wheel is unnecessary when there are only two choices. Coin Flip keeps binary decisions fast, while Fair-ish Wheel gives larger lists enough room for everyone to see their option in the running.
