Random student picker
Paste your class list, one name a line, and pick. Turn on the no-repeat mode and the picker works through the whole class before anyone comes up twice, which keeps it fair over a lesson.
The list stays in your browser and is not uploaded.

Questions
- Is my class data sent anywhere?
- No. Every tool here runs in the page itself. There is no server that receives your students' names or their marks, and you can check it in your browser's network tab: using a tool produces no request carrying what you typed. The one thing this site stores is an email address, given at the point you download or copy a result.
- How does no-repeat mode work?
- It remembers who has been picked this round and draws only from those left, so everyone is called once before the round resets. A counter shows how many are still to come.
- Is it actually random?
- Yes, from your browser's random number generator, which is fine for picking a name. It is not drawing from a stored list or weighting anyone; each remaining name is equally likely.
- Does it keep my class list?
- Only while the tab is open. Close it and the list is gone, because nothing is stored on a server. Paste it again next lesson, or keep it in a note of your own.
