Names, choices, and draw history stay in localStorage on your device. No account is required, and this randomizer data is not sent to a Magic Random database.

How this mode handles one round

Names animate before the picker settles on one result. The animation creates a reveal moment but does not change the choice pool. With no-repeat enabled, a selected name does not return during the current round.

Before acting on a result

Use names short enough to read on the display and rehearse screen sharing. When identities should not be public, use codes or approved display names that the facilitator can map to the source list separately.

Yes, in the same browser profile while site data remains. It does not automatically sync to another device or browser.
