About this snack idea wheel
A snack wheel is only useful if it is stocked with things you can actually reach. The starter list is deliberately plain — pantry items and a few fridge staples — because the failure mode here is a list full of snacks you would have to go and buy first.
Spend two minutes making it yours. Walk to the cupboard, look, and type what is in there. Disable anything that has run out rather than deleting it, so the entry is waiting when you next do a shop. A snack wheel is one of the few lists worth updating weekly, and it saves to this device between edits.
Random is right for the usual case: you want something to eat now and the last snack has no bearing on this one. No Repeats earns its place when you are putting out a spread — spin three or four times and you get a varied selection instead of three bowls of the same thing.
It also works as a mild brake. Some people put only the snacks they are happy to have eaten on the wheel and accept whatever lands, which removes the standing-in-front-of-the-cupboard part of snacking. That is a use for the list you choose to build, not something the wheel enforces.
None of these entries are a nutrition recommendation and the wheel has no view on portions, ingredients, or what suits anyone's diet. It selects a label from a list you wrote; everything about whether that is a good idea stays with you.

Questions about the snack idea wheel
Can I choose several snacks?
Yes. Use No Repeats and spin once per snack, stopping when you have enough different options.
How do I keep only no-cook ideas?
Delete or disable any entries that need preparation, and paste your own ready-to-eat choices into the list.
Does it know what is in my pantry?
No. The list is maintained by you and saved in this browser; it has no pantry or shopping account connection.
