Interface and Core Structure
Light and Dark Theme
Switch instantly between Light and Dark mode with the theme button in the top-right corner. Your preferences are saved to your browser — every time the page reloads, it opens with your previous selection.
- Light theme: White background, indigo-teal-pink accent colors — ideal for bright environments
- Dark theme: Navy-black background, brighter accent tones — reduces eye strain in low light
Both themes use glassmorphism design language; components are presented on transparent, frosted-glass cards.
12 Language Support
Switch between these languages from the language selector in the top-right corner:
| 🇬🇧 English | 🇫🇷 French | 🇪🇸 Spanish | 🇩🇪 German |
| 🇨🇳 Chinese | 🇷🇺 Russian | 🇯🇵 Japanese | 🇮🇳 Hindi |
| 🇹🇷 Turkish | 🇰🇷 Korean | 🇸🇦 Arabic (RTL) | 🇧🇷 Portuguese |
When a language is selected, not only the interface but the URL structure is also localized. For example, the Name Wheel produces language-specific addresses like /tr/isim-carki, /ja/namae-rouletto, /en/wheel-of-names. Full right-to-left (RTL) layout support is available for Arabic.

List Management — The Most Powerful Features
At the top of all list-based tools is a ListToolbar — a shared toolbar. Understanding this toolbar means understanding 80% of the platform.
1. AI-Powered List Creation ✨
Press the purple star (AI) button on the toolbar. Type a command in the window that opens:
“The 20 largest cities in the world” “15 dishes from Turkish cuisine” “Software development methodologies” “Olympic sports”
Press Enter or click the “Generate” button. The platform uses the Llama 4 Scout AI model to prepare the list in seconds, automatically filled in your selected interface language.
This feature is great for:
- Creating a starting point instead of brainstorming from scratch
- Generating sample lists from scratch
- Preparing educational materials
2. Create Lists by Taking or Uploading Photos 📷
Press the pink camera button on the toolbar. Two options are presented:
Capture with camera:
- Your device camera activates (rear camera is preferred)
- Frame a piece of paper, board, screen, or written list and capture
- The platform’s AI photo reader automatically recognizes names and text in the image and transfers them to the list
Upload from gallery:
- Select an existing photo (screenshot, notebook photo, Excel screenshot, etc.)
- The same AI engine processes the text and populates the list
This feature is especially lifesaving in these situations:
- Digitizing a handwritten class list
- Recreating a list from a previous meeting by photographing the screen
- Reading name tags from a large group photo
3. Saving and Loading Lists 💾
Saving (green floppy disk button):
- While logged in, save your lists to the cloud
- When saving, give the list a name (e.g., “Class 7A”, “Project Team”, “Giveaway Pool”)
Loading (blue folder button):
- All your saved lists are shown in a dropdown menu
- Hovering over each list shows a preview of the first 4 names
- Load into the active tool with one click
The power here: The same list can be used in different tools. Spin your students on the wheel on Monday, load the same list into Group Maker on Thursday, and use it in the lucky draw on Friday.
4. Other List Operations
- Shuffle (purple shuffle button): Randomly changes the order of the list
- Clear (red trash button): Empties the list with one click
- Session memory: Even if you refresh the page without closing the browser tab, the list won’t disappear (sessionStorage)
8 Tools — Detailed Review
🎡 Name Wheel (Wheel of Names)
The most advanced version of the classic wheel experience. Canvas-based animation spins like a real wheel; it slows down and stops on the winner.
Tool settings:
- Remove winner from list: After each spin, the selected name is removed from the list; so the same person won’t be selected twice
- Prevent duplicate names: If there are duplicate entries in the list, they are automatically filtered
- Fullscreen mode: One-click switch to full screen for large displays or projectors
Visuals:
- 8 different colored slices are automatically assigned
- Confetti falls when the winner is announced and a large reveal animation plays
- The result panel appears with a zoom-in animation
Sharing: Instantly copy the wheel image or winner information to share.
Most commonly used for: In-class Q&A, social media giveaways, game nights, “what should we eat” decisions.
🎁 Lucky Draw (Lucky Draw)
To randomly select one or more winners from a pool. Instead of the spinning excitement of the wheel, it uses an animation system that creates anticipation: names scroll quickly then slow down and the winner is highlighted.
Tool settings:
- Remove winner from list: In sequential draws, the same person is not selected again; ideal for distributing multiple prizes
- Prevent duplicate names: Keeps the list clean
For social media giveaways: Paste the names from comments, remove duplicates with AI, start the draw — the entire process takes 2 minutes.
👥 Group Maker (Group Maker)
Tool for dividing participants into equal and random teams. It has two different modes:
Mode 1 — By Number of Groups:
- How many groups to create? (2–50, with slider)
- The platform divides participants into equal groups
Mode 2 — By People Per Group:
- How many people per group?
- The number of groups is automatically calculated based on the number of participants
Groups are shuffled with the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm — statistically unbiased and truly random. Results are presented in 10 different color-coded cards with animations.
🎯 Task Matcher (Task Matcher)
Makes random matches between two lists. “People” on the left correspond to the “Tasks” list on the right. Both sides have independent ListToolbar.
Usage scenarios:
- Project assignment: Team members ↔ Project topics
- Classroom presentations: Students ↔ Presentation topics
- Duty roster: Employees ↔ Duty days
- Household chores: Family members ↔ Weekly tasks
The number of people and tasks can be different; the algorithm balances with modulo logic.
🏆 Quick Scorer (Quick Scorer)
Real-time score tracking table. Can be set up instantly for game nights or in-class competitions.
How it works:
- Enter team/player name, add
- Add/remove points with + and − buttons for each team
- Ranking instantly and animated updates (Framer Motion)
- The top-ranked team stands out with a golden crown icon and green highlight
- A progress bar is shown under each team based on the highest score
List transfer: Generate team names with AI via ListToolbar, read from photo, or load from a saved list. Score reset and bulk delete buttons are also available.
🪐 Orbital Battle (Orbital Battle)
The most unique and fun tool on the platform. Transforms a classic draw into a space battle game.
How it works:
- Enter participant names
- Avatars begin spinning in 6–8 layered orbits, each layer at a different speed and direction
- A missile is fired from the center; it hits avatars in orbit
- The hit avatar is eliminated with confetti and explosion effect
- The last standing or first hit person wins
Game mode options:
- Last Standing: The last eliminated person wins — for long, suspenseful draws
- First Hit: The first hit person wins — for quick selection
Other settings:
- Auto-fire mode: Missiles fire automatically, you just watch
- Manual firing: Click to set direction, make strategic draws
- Fullscreen mode: Perfect for projector or large screen presentations
Why is it so popular? Standard draws are just “draw a name and announce it.” Orbital Battle keeps everyone’s eyes on the screen every second. Whether it’s volunteers in class, which project group is selected, or who wins prizes on social media live streams — it transforms all of them into an entertaining viewing experience.
🪙 Coin Flip (Coin Flip)
Decide with a single tap. Flies into the air with 3D CSS animation like a real coin, spins, and lands.
Features:
- Gold or silver confetti based on the heads/tails result
- Flip count tracking (how many times flipped in the session)
- Completely independent, requires no list
Use: Who starts in a meeting, indecision between two options, game start.
🎲 Dice Roller (Dice Roller)
Roll as many dice as you want, of any type you want.
Customization options:
- Number of dice: 1 to 12 — with slider or number input
- Dice type: D2 to D100 — all tabletop dice from standard D6 to D20, D4 to D12
- Standard D6: Visualized with a real dot pattern (3×3 grid)
- Other dice types: Numeric value display
- Total: Sum of all dice is calculated instantly
Use: Dungeons & Dragons and other RPGs, board games, random number selection in class, math games.
