About

Stick Picker

Read full description

Stick Picker is the digital version of the cup of sticks on a teacher's desk. Build your class lists once, then tap to draw a student — or split the whole class into random groups in a single tap. Everything runs on your device. No account, no sign-in, no internet connection, and no student data ever leaves your iPhone or iPad. PICK A STICK • Tap once to draw a random student • Every student gets picked before anyone repeats — no more calling on the same three kids • Put a student back silently if it isn't their day; nothing is announced to the class • The cycle resets on its own once everyone has had a turn GROUP MODE • Choose a group size and sort the whole class instantly • Reshuffle when a grouping won't work • Groups display clearly enough to show the room CLASS MANAGEMENT • Build as many classes as you teach, each named your way • Import rosters from CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets exports • Add, edit, or remove students anytime • Duplicate a class to reuse a roster with a clean slate STUDENT TRACKING • See how many times each student has been picked, all-time • Check the last date a student was drawn • Open any student for their full pick history BUILT FOR THE CLASSROOM • Passcode lock, and the app relocks every time it goes to the background — rosters stay private • Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID • Forgot your passcode? Verify with Face ID or your device passcode and set a new one — your classes are kept • iPhone and iPad, optimized for iPad • Dark mode • Works fully offline Built by a PE teacher running 24 classes a week.
