Fair by construction
The winner comes from crypto.getRandomValues, not animation timing. Equal slices mean equal odds, and you can explain that to the room.

Use the result
Read it aloud, copy the link, remove the winner, or spin again. Your list stays saved for next time.
What is different
Small tool. Serious details.
Most name pickers stop at a spinning circle. WheelBloom handles the parts that actually matter when a result has to be trusted.
No-repeat mode
Remove winner takes the result off the wheel automatically. Run a draft, call on every student, or pick several prize winners.
Weights when needed
Not every decision is a coin flip. Write Maya x3 to
triple an entry's chance, then turn weighted mode off for a fair
draw.
Share the exact wheel
Copy link stores the entries and settings in the URL. Send it to a co-host, a teacher, or a remote team and everyone sees the same list.
Focus mode
Fill a projector or classroom display with one click. The winner appears in a large banner that reads from the back row.
Fast and private
Static pages, no login, and no server-side list storage. Entries stay in your browser and the app keeps working after the first load.
Templates
Start with the decision you already have
Each template opens with a ready-made list. Change the entries, shuffle them, and spin. The rules stay the same.

Open template →Why it works
Built for the moment before the decision
A random picker only works when everyone trusts the process. The wheel has to be readable, the entry list has to be visible, and the result has to arrive without a subscription prompt in the way.
WheelBloom keeps the whole loop on one screen: entries on the right, wheel on the left, winner in the result card. On a phone the wheel stacks on top so the spin button stays in reach. On a projector, focus mode removes everything else.
The tool is deliberately narrow. It does not try to be a tournament bracket, a team generator, or a classroom management suite. It picks a name from a list, fairly, and then gets out of the way. That focus is also why the page loads fast and works without an account.
What happens to your list
Entries are stored in your browser's local storage and never sent to a server. Share links encode the list in the URL fragment rather than a database, so the link works without us keeping a copy. Clear the list and the local copy is gone.
Ads may appear below the tool to keep the site free. They never cover the wheel, and the embeddable version is ad-free. See the privacy policy for the full detail.
Frequently asked questions
Is WheelBloom really free?
Yes. The wheel, templates, focus mode, and share links are free. There is no account, no trial, and no limit on spins.
Is the winner actually random?
Yes. The winning entry is selected with crypto.getRandomValues before the animation starts. The spin is only visual. In weighted mode the odds match the weights you set.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Open the page and spin. Your most recent list is saved in your browser so you can return without signing in.
Can I remove names after they win?
Yes. Enable Remove winner and each winning entry leaves the wheel automatically, which is useful for drafts, raffles, and calling on every student once.
How many names can I add?
Up to 200 entries. For readability, keep the wheel under about 30 entries, especially on a phone or projector.
Can I embed the wheel on another website?
Yes. The embed page gives you a simple iframe snippet. It is ad-free and works with any HTML site.
Does the wheel work offline?
After the first visit the app shell is cached by a service worker, so it can keep working without a connection on most modern browsers.
Where is my list stored?
Only in your browser's localStorage. The list is not sent to a server. Share links encode the entries in the URL itself.
Need the wheel on your own site?
The embed is a single iframe, ad-free, and works with any entry list. Teachers, streamers, and community sites are welcome to use it.
