Free random name picker for teachers — no account, no ads

Any One Will Do is used by teachers to call on students fairly, form random groups, and keep class moving. Everything runs in your browser — your class list auto-saves and is waiting for you next time.

  • Mark absent students as sitting out — they're skipped until you bring them back
  • Save multiple class lists (Period 1, Period 2, Homeroom) as separate sessions
  • Your student list saves automatically — no account or login needed
  • Works on your phone or tablet at the front of the room
  • Completely free, no ads, no upsells — ever

Does my student list save automatically?

Yes. Any One Will Do stores everything in your browser's local storage. Your class list will be there the next time you open the page on the same device — no account or login required.

Can I have multiple class lists?

Yes. Each session you create gets its own name and list. Create one for Period 1, another for Period 2 — they stay separate and you can return to any of them from the home page.

What happens when a student is absent?

Once you're in the picker or groups screen, tap a student's name to mark them as sitting out. They're removed from the pool until you tap again to bring them back — no need to delete and re-add anyone.
