## What is Group?

Group-O-Mat builds fair groups in seconds: photograph the class list or import it from Excel, Numbers, Untis or CSV, pick a team size, shake, done. Made for teachers, coaches and anyone who needs to split a group quickly and transparently.

FAIR AND UNDER YOUR CONTROL
• Balance strength and gender, spread or separate traits (language level, elective …)
• Rules: together, apart, fixed team – applied on every shuffle
• Fair mixing avoids recent pairings; "who was with whom" heatmap
• Lock teams and reshuffle the rest, dry run with five variants, balance report

CLASSROOM TOOLS
• Stations with rotation plan and round timer
• Partner interviews: everyone meets everyone exactly once
• Tournaments from the teams (knockout or round robin) with results
• Rotating duties with absences and substitutes
• Draw a random person or team, as a name roll or a wheel

FOR THE PROJECTOR
• Presentation mode with big cards, hidden reveal and countdown
• AirPlay/HDMI: the class sees the presentation, you keep the teacher view
• 14 themes from wizard school to outer space, plus your own with photo and sounds

ORGANISATION
• Lists for classes, courses and clubs, attendance per session
• Save events and edit them later, team posters as PDF for the pinboard
• Widgets: today's teams and a quick draw without opening the app
• Share as text, image, CSV or PDF; backup as a file

PRIVACY
• No accounts, no server, no tracking, no ads
• Everything stays on your device; optional iCloud sync with names and photos end-to-end encrypted

Buy once, for iPhone and iPad.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-25

• Now runs on iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 and later, so older iPads and iPhones can install Group-O-Mat.
• Projector without a tap: while the player list is open the class sees the attendance list on the projector, and the teams as soon as a result is open. A note on the device starts the big reveal. Ready for iOS 27 and for small projectors.
• Student view: one switch hides gender colours, levels and traits while the class looks at the device.
• Show first names only: shortens names in the list, teams, projector and shared results; pupils who share a first name get the surname initial. The full name stays stored.
• Last teams: after switching apps, Split View on iPad or a relaunch, the list offers the last teams again.
• Assign random emojis: gives everyone without a photo an avatar at once.
• The import no longer closes on an accidental swipe; names in the scan review can be corrected directly.
• More readable purple in dark mode, and a crash on the Mac fixed.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-14

No release notes.
