A fair picker for classrooms

Paste your class list (from a spreadsheet works too: one name per line). Remove winner after spin is already on, so every student gets a turn before anyone is picked twice. Project the page on the board: the big wheel and the confetti make it fun for everyone. Names stay in your browser only, nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Is the name picker fair?

Yes. Every name has an equal slice and the pick uses your browser’s cryptographic random generator.

Can I paste names from Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Copy a column and paste it into the box; each row becomes one name.

Are student names stored anywhere?

Only in your own browser on this device. They are never sent to a server. A shared link carries the names inside the link itself.

How many names can I add?

Up to 100 names.
