Flip once, then flip again

Choose Flip coin to toss one coin. It spins end over end, lands on Heads or Tails, and adds that result to your numbered history. Flip again repeats the action when you are ready.

The heads and tails tally keeps track of this page session. Copy history copies the results still shown, and Clear starts fresh. The latest 1,000 flips are kept in the list; the tally continues counting the full session. Reduced motion shows the result immediately.

Seven heads in ten flips can happen without making the process unfair. The next flip still has the same two possible outcomes.

How a result is chosen

The browser’s cryptographic random-number API supplies each draw. Each coin maps one random bit to Heads or Tails. No result depends on the previous tally. Results are local, but the page is not an independently audited record of a decision.

For more than two outcomes, try the Dice roller.

Results so far shows the newest result first. Action buttons stay above the history so you can keep going as the list grows.

You can also click the coin to flip again. With the coin focused, press Enter or Space. The next flip is available after the current flip lands.

FAQs

Is each flip independent?

Yes. Each result uses a new random draw. Previous heads or tails do not change the next flip’s chance.

Why is the tally not exactly half heads?

Equal chances do not guarantee equal counts in a short run. Streaks and uneven batches are normal possibilities.

Does the tally stay after I leave?

No. It belongs to the open page. Clear resets it; use Copy history if you want a record.

Have an idea for a tool I should add? Send it in. I read every suggestion and choose which ones to build next.

For example: "Count the weekdays until a date, without holidays."
