The food wheel picks your next meal for you. It comes preloaded with 154 dishes in 11 ready-made sets — breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snacks, plus Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and American cuisine — and every spin selects one dish with equal 1/N probability. Load a set with one tap — or put all 154 dishes on the wheel at once — add or remove anything you like, and spin. Whatever it lands on, that's what you eat (or order) today.
Add the wheel to OBS as a Browser Source, and control it from a Custom Browser Dock — on the same computer.

Every dish on the wheel has an identical 1/N probability of winning — with the default 14-dish dinner set, each meal has a 1-in-14 (7.1%) chance per spin. Selection uses uniform random distribution on an HTML5 Canvas wheel with a 3,500 ms easeOutQuart deceleration, the same engine as every wheel on spinandwheel.com. The wheel has no memory: previous results never influence the next spin.
Yes. The entries panel is a plain editable list — type one option per line to add homemade dishes, delivery restaurants, or anything else, and delete any preset you'd never eat. Your custom list is saved automatically in your browser's localStorage, so it's still there next time you visit. Loading a preset category replaces the current list.
Remove it and spin again — deleting a dish you'd never actually eat makes every future spin useful. But the wheel works best with one house rule: the first result wins. Research on choice overload (Iyengar & Lepper, 2000) shows that more options make deciding harder and the final choice less satisfying; committing to the spin is the entire point.
Yes — every set works for both. The 6 cuisine sets (Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, American) map directly onto delivery-app categories, so you can spin first and open the app already knowing what to search. For a restaurant decision, replace the dishes with the names of nearby places and spin those instead.
The wheel checks your device's local time when the page opens: before 11:00 it loads the breakfast set, from 11:00 to 16:00 lunch, and after 16:00 dinner. It's a default, not a restriction — the 11 category buttons switch sets instantly at any hour, the 🎲 Surprise-me button mixes a random sample from every category, and the 🥘 All-foods button puts the complete catalog of 154 dishes on one wheel.
