Random Picker

Type one item on each line, then press Pick. The picker keeps the non-empty lines and draws one of them with equal chance. An empty list is an error next to the field.

The last five results stay in this tab’s session memory so you can see whether the same line is repeating. Closing the tab clears that short history. The list itself is not sent anywhere.

      Picker questions

      Does every line have the same chance?

      Every non-empty line does. The picker draws a uniform index and rejects random numbers that would bias the last few slots.

      What happens if the box is empty?

      You get an error on the list field. The result does not invent an item.

      Where is the last-five history stored?

      The last five picks stay in this tab’s session storage and clear when the tab closes. Named lists stay in this browser’s local storage so you can come back to a packing list. Nothing is sent to a server. Passwords from the generator are never stored.
