Numbers, dice, coins and decisions.
I need a number is a web based collection of random generators that operate entirely within the user's browser. The primary function of the site is to provide quick, unbiased random results for numbers, dice rolls, coin flips, decisions, name draws, and other common random selection tasks. All tools run on the user's device and do not transmit any input data to external servers. The randomness is sourced from the browser's cryptographic random number generator, specifically crypto.getRandomValues, which is the same method used for encryption key generation. The code also corrects the small bias that can arise from a naive modulo operation. The site includes a range of tools: a random number generator that supports integers or decimals between any two values; a dice roller with presets for standard dice (d4 to d100) and support for notation such as 2d6+3, advantage rolls, and Dungeons & Dragons presets; a coin flip that can handle one coin or up to a thousand; a yes or no binary decision tool; a name and raffle picker for drawing winners from a list; a Secret Santa generator that ensures no participant draws themselves; a lottery number generator offering quick picks for games such as Powerball, Baloto, Melate, and EuroMillions; a UUID generator for version 4 and version 7 UUIDs in bulk; and a password generator that creates strong random passwords on the device. Typical use cases include generating a random number for a game or contest, rolling dice for tabletop role playing games, flipping a coin to settle a decision, picking a random name from a list for a giveaway, organizing a Secret Santa gift exchange, selecting lottery numbers, creating unique identifiers for development work, or generating secure passwords. The workflow is straightforward: the user navigates to the desired tool, adjusts any parameters (such as range or number of dice), and receives the result instantly. No account creation is required, and the basic tools have no daily usage limit. The site displays advertisements, but a one time donation (labeled Premium) removes ads and adds features such as saved raffles and a history of past results. The site requires JavaScript to function and is hosted at ineedanumber.com, part of the Pragmify network.
