Fair Random Selection & Client-Side Execution

Random Name Picker uses the native Web Cryptography API (window.crypto.getRandomValues) to generate true unbiased entropy rather than predictable pseudo-random formulas. Winners are chosen without replacement using an unbiased Fisher-Yates shuffle. Your data and lists are processed entirely on your device and are never sent to external servers.
