Random Name Picker

The random name picker draws one name at a time from a list you paste in, and because remove-after-spin starts switched on, each name leaves the wheel once it has been picked, so everyone gets a turn before anyone goes twice.

Clear the sample names, then paste your own list into the box under the wheel. One name per line works, and so do commas, so a column copied out of a spreadsheet or a register lands as one slice per person.

Remove-after-spin is already on here. Each name that comes up leaves the wheel, which is what most people picking names want: the next student to answer, the order for presentations, the three winners of a raffle. Spin until the wheel is empty and you have drawn the whole list in a random order, with nobody picked twice and nobody left out.

The name is drawn with your browser's Web Crypto API before the wheel starts to turn, so the animation only shows a result that already exists. Nobody can stop the wheel early, and every name has the same chance unless you change it. Tap a name to give it a bigger or smaller share, if you need to.

Name a wheel in the Wheels tab and it stays in this browser, so a class list or a team list is there next time without pasting it again. To pick several names in one go from a long list, or from a CSV file, use the bulk name picker. For a class you see every day, the classroom spinner keeps more than one class and runs rounds where everyone answers once before anyone answers twice.
