Does my data get uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
Is this free to use?
Yes. It is completely free, with no account, no signup, and no usage limits.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The page runs in any modern mobile browser, on iPhone and Android alike, with no app to install.
Can I use this to pick a giveaway winner?
For a low-stakes internal draw, yes. For a public giveaway with a real prize, no. The shuffle cannot be audited, the random source is not cryptographic, and there is no record of how the order was produced, so a losing entrant has nothing to check and you have nothing to show them.
Can I get the same shuffle back?
No. There is no seed, and a new order is generated each time the tool runs. Copy the result before you change anything, because that particular order cannot be reproduced.
Why did the order change while I was looking at it?
The shuffle is recomputed whenever the panel re-renders, which includes typing in the input box. Copy the order as soon as you have one you intend to use.
Can it pick three items at random from my list?
Not directly, but it amounts to the same thing: shuffle the whole list and take the first three lines. Since every ordering is equally likely, the top of a shuffled list is a fair random sample.
Are blank lines and indentation preserved?
Blank lines are removed before the shuffle. Indentation is kept on the line it belongs to, so an indented line will still be indented wherever it lands.
