Bluesky Giveaway Picker

Pick a random winner from the replies, likes or reposts of your Bluesky post. Bluesky data is public, so paste the post link and we fetch the entries. Free, no login.

Your post

Open the post on bsky.app, tap Share, then Copy link to post.

Entry rules

How people entered

We also fetch the host's public follower list.

Everyone gets one entry, however many ways they entered.

A word or #hashtag. Not case-sensitive. Leave empty for no keyword.

Other accounts tagged in the reply, not the host or the replier. 0 means no rule.

One handle per line, like @name.bsky.social. The host is always left out.

Your browser reads public data from Bluesky. No login, and nothing is stored.

How it works

  1. Copy the link to your giveaway post on Bluesky and paste it above.
  2. Tick how people entered (reply, like or repost) and any rules your post set, such as following you or tagging friends.
  3. Press Fetch entries. Your browser reads the public lists from Bluesky.
  4. Pick your winners and share the draw link. Your followers can open it and watch the same winner come up.

Questions and answers

Why can this fetch automatically but Instagram can't?

Bluesky runs an open, public API: anyone can read public posts, likes, reposts and follower lists without an account. Instagram's API only serves comments to Business accounts that log in, so for Instagram you copy the comments and paste them into our comment picker instead.

Do you need my password?

No. Everything this tool reads is public, so you never log in, and you never give us a password or an app password.

Can I require follows?

Yes. Tick "Must follow" and the tool also fetches the host's public follower list. Anyone who doesn't follow the host at the moment you fetch is left out. Hosts with more than 50,000 followers are over the limit, so the follow check can't run for them.

Are deleted replies counted?

No. Bluesky doesn't return deleted replies, so they can't enter. Undone likes and reposts drop off the lists in the same way.

Is the data stored?

No. Your browser fetches the lists from Bluesky and keeps them in memory until you leave the page. If your browser can't reach Bluesky directly, the requests pass through our server, which forwards them without storing or logging anything.

Why are some replies missing?

Bluesky's public thread view leaves out deleted and hidden replies, and it cuts very long threads short. When it returns fewer replies than the post shows, the tool tells you how many came back.

Can people enter more than once?

By default, everyone gets one entry, however many times they replied. Choose "One per action" to give one entry each for a reply, a like and a repost, so up to 3.
