What the tool does
Selections happen locally using the browser Web Crypto API. Visual motion presents an already-selected result and never secretly decides it. Optional saved data remains in this browser until you remove it.
Limitations
Use it for the right job
For everyday and informal selections only. Results are not independently audited and the tool is not designed for regulated drawings.
ChoiceDrop does not claim “true random” results, certification or independent auditing.
Frequently asked questions
Good to know
Do you upload my list?
No. Names, saved lists, history and cycle progress stay in this browser.
How does no-repeat mode work?
Eligible entries are securely shuffled into a queue. Each appears once before a new cycle begins.
Can I restore a list later?
Yes. Save it with a name and this browser will restore it until you clear site data.
