Who it is for
Whoever ends up organizing the gift exchange for a family, a friend group, or an office.
Overview
What drawnames does
drawnames walks a group through setting up a Secret Santa exchange one question at a time. The exchange gets a name, a spending limit, and a date. Exclusions are optional, which matters when couples or housemates should not be paired with each other, and then names are drawn.
Once the draw is complete the app produces an invitation to pass along to the participants.
All of the setup happens in conversation, so there is no separate form to fill in. The listing describes organizing and drawing the exchange; buying, tracking, or reminding people about the actual gifts is not part of it.
What stands out
Exclusion rules are built into the draw, which is the part that usually breaks an improvised name pull.

Where drawnames is listed
drawnames is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. drawnames has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
