Random Number
Set a range and generate a random number — Notion-embeddable, instant, no signup.
About this widget
The Olivtwig Random Number widget generates a number inside a min/max range you set. Pick a range, click generate, get a value — useful for raffle picks, decision-making, group games, or anywhere you want an unbiased random pick. There's no signup, no extension, no install — paste the URL into any Notion page and the generator lives there. The result regenerates on each click, so a single embed can be re-used indefinitely for new picks.
Why a random-number widget inside Notion
There are a thousand random-number sites on the open web, but each requires leaving the Notion page you're working on. If you're running a raffle on a community page, picking the next team-lunch venue from a numbered list, or just deciding between two options, having the generator embedded inline keeps the decision inside the document you're already in. The result lives where it was generated, which matters for transparency in shared workspaces.
How the range and generation work
Set the min and max values — any integers — and click generate. The widget picks a uniformly random integer within the range (inclusive on both ends). Clicking generate again picks a fresh number. The range itself is editable anytime, so you can use a single embed for picks of different sizes without re-embedding.
Where to drop it
Random Number fits anywhere an unbiased pick is part of the workflow.
- Raffles and giveaways
- Set the range to your participant count and pick a winner in front of everyone on the page.
- Decision-making
- When two options are equally good, set 1–2 and let chance decide so you can move on.
- Team games
- Pick a random team member for a presentation, daily standup order, or fun-rotation.
- Practice and study
- Set the range to the page count of a textbook and quiz yourself on whatever page comes up.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Random Number widget free?
Yes. Every Olivtwig widget — including Random Number — is free to use, with no signup or login required.
Are results uniformly random?
Yes. The widget uses the browser's standard random function, which produces uniformly distributed values across the range — fair for raffles, picks, and casual decisions.
Are decimals supported, or only integers?
The widget generates integers in the range you set (e.g. 1–100). Decimals aren't currently exposed in the UI.
Can I exclude already-picked numbers?
Not in this widget — each click is independent. For raffles where each pick should be unique, generate, write down the result, and re-roll if it repeats.
Is the result reproducible from a seed?
No — the widget doesn't expose a seed. For cryptographic or scientifically-reproducible randomness, use a dedicated tool. The Random Number widget is for casual, transparent picks.
