Class Name Picker

A free classroom app for Grade 1 teachers. It picks who recites next with a name wheel, and mixes the class into groups with a fun animation. It was made for classrooms in the Philippines, where internet is often slow or missing, so it works fully offline after the first visit.

• Spin Time: a name wheel with each child's photo and name, for fair recitation turns.
• Group Time: random groups shown with a "Boom" reveal or trains that pick up teammates.
• Teacher setup: several classes, student photos and names, backups.
• Children's screens in English, Filipino (Tagalog) and Bisaya (Cebuano), in a school-style font (Andika) that young readers recognise.

Open the app: https://annalog-404.github.io/class-name-picker/

Open it once while online (or press Install app), and it keeps working without internet after that.

How it works offline

The first time the app is opened online, the browser saves a copy of its files (a standard "service worker"). After that it opens and works with no internet. Class lists and photos are stored in the browser's own storage on that device (IndexedDB). Use Save backup on the teacher screen to keep a copy or move a class to another device.
