Rules the shuffle never breaks
Keep pairs apart, save front seats, lock anyone in place. Every Shuffle honours them, and when a room can't, SeatSheet tells you exactly which rule and why.
Free · No signup · Names stay on your device
Seating charts in one shuffle.
Paste your class list, pick rows, pairs, groups or a U. SeatSheet seats everyone at random, keeps the troublemakers apart, saves front seats for those who need them, and prints one clean page. That chart is live: tap two seats to swap.

Planned: SeatSheet Pro for teachers with five periods a day
None of these work today. Everything above this section is free and works now. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you once if and when Pro launches.
Saved classes
Will keep several classes on this device so you reopen Period 3 in one tap instead of pasting the list again.
Class periods
Will share one room layout across all your periods, each with its own list, locks and rules.
Seat rotation
Will remember past charts and reshuffle so students sit with new neighbours each time.
Student photos
Will put a photo on each seat for subs, stored on this device only.
Bigger classes
Will seat up to 60 students and draw custom room layouts.
Free for real. Pro is planned.
Free stays free. Pro is not on sale and has no launch date. If it launches, it will be a one-time purchase or a monthly plan you can cancel anytime.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Making, rearranging, printing and sharing seating charts for up to 40 students is free, with no signup. A Pro version is planned but not built; it is waitlist-only for now.
Where do my students' names go?
Nowhere. SeatSheet runs in your browser and never sends names to our server. The latest class is saved in this browser so a refresh does not lose it, and "Forget this class" deletes it. A share link carries names only if you tick the box.
How does it keep students apart?
List pairs under "Keep apart". They never share a pair or a table and never sit directly beside, in front of or behind each other. If the room makes that impossible, SeatSheet says which pair and marks the seats in red.
Can I put certain students in the front?
Yes. Students on the "Needs the front" list only get front seats: the first row, the tables nearest the board, or the two seats on each arm of a U closest to the board.
Can I move students by hand?
Drag a name onto another seat, or tap two seats to swap them (with a keyboard, press Enter on two seats). To keep a student in place, tap their seat and press Lock; Shuffle then moves everyone else.
What is the difference between the teacher and student view?
The teacher view shows the room from the front, so the front row is at the bottom of the page, the way you see your class. The student view is turned 180°, with the board at the top.
