PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. You have a real list of people — your students, your team, your family, your raffle entrants — and you need a pick everyone accepts as fair. NameDraw keeps that list saved, draws from it with a provably fair random engine, and remembers who already had a turn. Wheel apps treat picking as a toy. NameDraw treats it as a tool: persistent named lists you build once, cryptographically seeded draws you can replay and prove, no-repeat rounds, ranked multi-winner draws, and an instant team splitter — all in a clean, ad-free utility. WHAT YOU GET • Your class list is typed in once — Tuesday's lesson starts with one tap, not five minutes of re-entering names. • No-repeat rounds: nobody is called twice until everyone has had a turn, then a fresh round starts automatically. • A ranked top 3 in a single draw — 1st, 2nd and 3rd place with zero chance of duplicate winners. • 14 kids dealt into 3 even teams in one shuffle, sizes differing by at most one, shared to the group chat in seconds. • Every draw is saved with its seed and the exact entry list — when someone cries "rigged", replay it in front of them and share the proof. • Weighted odds when fairness isn't 50/50: give an entry double the chance, or weight 0 to sit someone out without deleting them. PERFECT FOR • Teachers cold-calling students so the same three hands don't run the class • Scrum masters and standup hosts settling who goes first without debate • Hosts drawing giveaway and raffle winners with proof they can publish • Families and roommates handing out chores nobody volunteered for WHY NOT JUST SPIN A WHEEL? Wheel spinners make you retype names every session, forget who already won, and bury the spin under ads. NameDraw starts from your saved lists, seeds every draw from the system's secure random generator, and logs the result so it can be verified later. It is the difference between a party trick and a decision you can stand behind. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your lists, draws and history live on your iPhone. No account, no tracking, nothing leaves your device. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) NameDraw Pro unlocks unlimited lists, no-repeat draws, weighted entries, multi-winner draws, random team split and your complete draw history. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Put your list in once and never argue about who's next again — get NameDraw and make your first fair draw in under a minute.
