Built for real situations
One platform, many use cases
For Teachers
Choose a speaker, set presentation order or form groups while keeping student lists on the classroom device.
For Teams
Assign meeting order, make workshop groups and settle reversible choices transparently.
For Giveaways
Clean a supplied participant list, draw winners and alternates, and download a timestamped record.
For Everyday Decisions
Shortlist suitable meals, films, trips or activities, then let a wheel resolve the final tie.
Fair by design
The animation does not choose the result
A cryptographically secure result is calculated first. The wheel then animates toward that known segment, so frame rate and device speed cannot influence the winner.

Your lists stay in your browser
Normal picking, shuffling and team generation do not upload entries. The server stores a list only after you deliberately create a time-limited share link.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is the wheel truly random?
It uses the Web Crypto API and unbiased integer mapping. The animation reveals a result selected before movement begins.
Are my names stored?
Not during normal use. Your browser processes the list; only an explicit share action sends it to the server.
Can I remove a winner after each spin?
Yes. Keep or remove each winner, or enable automatic removal for repeated draws.
Can I create random teams?
Yes. The team generator balances sizes and supports names, pinned assignments and separation requests.
Can I share my wheel?
Yes. Create a private token link when you choose. It expires automatically, is not indexed and shows no ads.
