Quick answer

A yes-or-no generator returns a random answer, each option equally likely. With two options it’s a fair 50/50 between yes and no; add “maybe” and each of the three becomes about a one-in-three chance. This tool uses your browser’s secure random generator.

Formula & method

Each answer is drawn from the browser’s Web Crypto API and mapped to the available options with equal probability. Results are independent — a previous answer never influences the next one. With “maybe” enabled, the tool chooses uniformly among yes, no, and maybe.

Examples

Example 1: Yes/No
Input
Two options
Result
Yes or No (50/50)
Why
Each answer is equally likely and independent.
Example 2: With maybe
Input
Three options
Result
Yes, No, or Maybe (≈ 33% each)
Why
Adding ‘maybe’ makes it a fair three-way choice.
Example 3: Breaking a tie
Input
Yes = go, No = stay
Result
An unbiased decision
Why
Assign meanings to each answer first.

When to use this tool

  • Settling a trivial either/or decision quickly.
  • Breaking a deadlock when you genuinely don’t mind the outcome.
  • Adding a bit of chance to a game or activity.

Common mistakes

  • Using it for important decisions about money, health, or safety.
  • Re-rolling until you get the answer you wanted — that defeats the point.
  • Expecting a pattern; each result is independent and random.

Frequently asked questions

＋ Is the yes or no answer random?

Yes. It uses your browser’s secure random generator, with each option equally likely and every result independent.

＋ Can I add a ‘maybe’ option?

Yes. Enable maybe to turn it into a fair three-way choice between yes, no, and maybe.

＋ Should I use this for big decisions?

No. It’s for fun and trivial choices. Don’t use it for decisions about money, health, legal matters, or safety.

＋ Are the odds really 50/50?

With two options, yes — each has a 50% chance. Short runs can look lopsided, but that’s normal randomness.

＋ Is anything tracked?

No. The result is generated in your browser and nothing is stored or uploaded.
