Coin Flip: a quick guide

A genuinely random coin flip when the decision is fifty-fifty.

A fair coin flip without the coin. The ChrysoKit Coin Flip uses Web Crypto for genuine randomness and keeps a session history so you can audit recent flips at a glance.

Why use it

Real coins have biases (edge wear, throw style). A cryptographically random flip is unbiased and instant.

How to use the Coin Flip

  1. Press Flip Coin for a single flip.
  2. Press Flip x10 to run ten flips at once for a quick fairness check.
  3. Read the result and the running history.
  4. Do the thing the coin chose.

Features worth knowing

Cryptographic randomness

Uses Web Crypto, not Math.random. Genuinely unpredictable, not pseudo-random.

Session history

Recent flips stay visible in the history list. Refresh the page to clear it.

Flip x10

A single button rolls ten flips at once, handy for tie-breakers or to sanity-check the randomness yourself.

Pro tips

  • If you re-flip until you get the answer you wanted, you have already made the decision.
  • Coin flips are best for choices where both outcomes are acceptable. Bigger decisions deserve more thought.
  • For three or more options, use the Random Number Generator or List Shuffler instead.

Privacy first. The Coin Flip runs entirely in your browser. Nothing leaves the page.

Bookmark the Coin Flip for tie-breakers, who-goes-first, and any other 50-50 decision.
