List randomizer

Shuffle your list or draw entries without repeats.

Privacy: runs in your browser

This tool processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Favorites store only tool names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. When a button sends your result to another tool, it waits in this tab until that tool opens it, for up to a minute, and is then deleted.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Sharing and starting over
A copied link includes what you entered and your settings, so anyone with it can see them. Leave private text out. Files and results are not included; random draws are made again.
Start over puts the tool back to its starting values and closes any open file or device. Drafts you saved stay on this device until you delete them.
 
 
  
 
  
 
Each nonblank line is an entry
Blank lines are skipped and spaces around each entry are trimmed. Duplicate lines remain separate entries unless you choose Remove duplicates. Shuffle keeps all remaining entries; Draw removes the chosen entry when No repeats is on.

Worked example
Ada, Ben and Ada on separate lines produce three entries by default. Remove duplicates leaves Ada and Ben.

Before you rely on the result
Changing the list resets the draw history. ToolOctopus does not save the list or results. A duplicate name can still appear again if duplicate entries were kept. Use up to 1,000 entries, with at most 200 characters per entry.
