How it works
Everyone drops in ideas
Restaurants, activities, date ideas. Each person adds their own, and only you can read yours until it's pulled.
Pull one out
One tap draws a slip. Every slip has the same chance, so nobody picks and nobody takes the blame.
Go do it
Not feeling it? Put it back or pull again. Otherwise, that's the plan.

Secret until pulled
Slips stay hidden, so nobody anchors on a favorite or feels judged for their idea.
Actually fair
Every slip in the bowl has the same chance. No favorites, and no “newest first”.
Everyone's in
Anyone in the bowl can add slips and pull one out. No one has to be in charge.
Start free. Go premium when one bowl isn't enough.
You pay, and everyone in a premium bowl gets the bigger limits.

Good questions
- Is it really random?
- Yes. Every slip in the bowl has the same chance of being pulled, using secure random numbers.
- What if I don't like what comes out?
- Put it back or pull again. Treat the pick as law or as a strong suggestion; that part is up to you.
- What does it cost?
- Your first bowl is free, for up to 3 people and 15 slips. When you need more, premium is $12 a year or $60 once.
- What happens if I stop paying?
- Nothing is deleted. A bowl over the free limits keeps everything in it and you can still pull slips, but it can't take new slips or people until it's back within them.
- What does lifetime mean?
- It lasts for as long as Decision Bowl runs. If we ever shut it down, the plan ends with it, and we'll tell you ahead of time where we can.
- Do my friends need an account?
- They open your invite link and sign in with an email code. No password, and nothing to install.
