About TheOwlBay

TheOwlBay is a small site of free online random tools. It exists so teachers, students, and game groups can flip a coin, split into teams, pick a name, roll dice, or run Secret Santa without creating an account.

Who makes this

TheOwlBay is an independent utility site, not a school district product and not an app store listing. Each tool is a static page: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that run locally in your browser. We are not affiliated with Google, Wheel of Names, or Ukraine's State Migration Service (DMSU).

How the tools work

Random choices use the Web Cryptography API (crypto.getRandomValues). Your class list, coin labels, and similar form data are stored in the browser's localStorage so a refresh does not wipe the form. We do not upload those lists to a TheOwlBay server by default.

Share URLs put the result in the query string. They are unlisted, not encrypted. Analytics load only if you accept the consent banner. Ads are off until the site has durable Search Console traffic and an approved publisher account.

Tools

Flip a coin online — two options, custom labels, best-of-three
Random team generator — balanced groups, keep-apart, print and share
Random picker from list — one winner; optional remove-after-pick
Dice roller online — d4–d100, modifiers, 4d6 drop lowest
Secret Santa generator — unlisted participant links
Ukrainian name transliteration — unofficial Resolution 55 helper; verify with DMSU

Embed on your site
