ABOUT THE TOOLS

Why Everything is Random?

A useful answer, without extra steps.

These tools are for everyday decisions and small projects: picking an option, shuffling a workshop list, making balanced teams, or generating a code. Find a task, choose the settings, and use the result without creating an account.

How a draw works

When you press Generate or Pick, your browser supplies random bytes through Web Crypto. The app maps those bytes to eligible values using bounded sampling and shuffles entries with Fisher–Yates. It rejects requests for more distinct outcomes than exist. A code marked unique is distinct within that generated batch; repeated names are separate entries unless you choose to remove identical entries.

Your entered values and generated results are processed in your browser. Site files still arrive through Firebase Hosting, which can process request information. See Privacy for storage, network, and clipboard details.

Ways to use it

• Pick names from a running pool, removing each chosen entry before the next pick.
• Split participants into teams whose sizes differ by at most one.
• Generate numbers from a whole-number range or a defined decimal grid.
• Make codes from a chosen character set, with optional distinct results in one batch.

When another tool may be a better fit

These are browser-side draws, not externally audited or independently verifiable drawings. For a regulated giveaway or a draw requiring a public audit trail, use a process designed for those requirements. This site also does not offer an external entropy source, a service API, account administration, or enterprise controls.

Everything is Random is a McQueen Cloud Advisory project. The tools are free to use; future site features may change, and this page describes the current application.
