GroupKeeper helps teachers, coaches, team leaders, and organizers create balanced groups, rotate responsibilities fairly, move through stations, give everyone a fair turn, and stay organized—without giving up control over the details.
Create a workspace for each class, team, club, or event. Add people manually or import a roster from CSV, then organize the details that matter to you, including roles, custom properties, notes, relationship preferences, and role preferences.
CREATE BALANCED GROUPS
• Choose a group count or group size
• Mark people absent for the current activity
• Use Anchor Roles to distribute selected roles across groups
• Balance or cluster custom properties
• Favor preferred pairings and reduce pairings marked to avoid
• Reduce recent pairings and repeated groups using saved history
• Pin placements, adjust groups, and try another mix
ROTATE ROLES FAIRLY
• Create reusable roles for each class, team, or workspace
• Choose the people and roles included in each activity
• Rotate assignments fairly by favoring roles each person has not had yet
• Add Preferred and Avoid roles for each person
• Continue through multiple rotations and repeatable cycles
• Reassign people manually while preserving rotation history
• Pause an activity and resume it later
• Review role, person, and rotation history in Timeline
KEEP PARTICIPATION FAIR
• Move through people in a randomized order without repeats
• Use Back, Next, and Skip for Now while keeping your place
• Track who participated, who remains, and who is absent
• Keep an activity open and resume it later
