Made for real classrooms

SpinWheel runs in the browser with no install and no student accounts. Project it on the board, paste your class list, and pick volunteers fairly. Substitutes can open a shared link and continue where you left off.

Student names never leave the device unless you share a link. That means fewer privacy headaches and zero FERPA surprises.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work without internet?

After the first visit, the page caches locally. You can spin offline in classrooms with spotty WiFi.

Can substitutes use a shared wheel?

Share the link before class. Anyone opening it sees the same student list and can continue spinning.

Is student data stored on a server?

No. Names stay in your browser and in share links you create. We never collect or store personal data.
