Random picker

Some lists are too personal for a preset. This random picker lets you paste your own (names, chores, restaurants, prize entries, anything) one per line, then pulls one at random the moment you press Generate. Instead of a hand-picked theme, the pool is whatever you type.

A random picker is really a decision tool. Use it to settle the daily "what should we eat" standoff by dropping in five places and letting the draw choose. Teachers use it as a random name picker for cold-calling, handing out roles, or splitting a class into teams without anyone claiming favouritism. It runs giveaways and raffles too: paste the entrants, turn on No repeats, set the count to the number of prizes, and pull a fair list of winners in one go. Game nights use it for turn order, and anyone stuck between options uses it to break a tie they cannot break themselves.

Switch to the wheel for a spin-the-wheel reveal: a name picker with a bit of suspense, the kind you would put on a screen in front of a room. Switch to a grid to lay several picks out at once.

Because it is your list, sharing matters. The Share button copies a link that carries your list and settings, so a co-host or a co-teacher opens the exact same pool and draws under the same rules.

Your list stays on your device, not uploaded or saved on a server, so you can drop in names or anything sensitive without it leaving your screen. It is kept for the rest of your browsing session, so a stray refresh does not cost you the work, and Clear removes it. A list can hold up to 1000 entries.
